Comic books in Film?

[bminor]

I can't find the thread this belongs in.

Was watching "Deadline at Dawn"w Susan Hayward. Took a few screen shots of this newstand. Couldn't recognize any comics, can anyone?

Thanks B!
I can only see a handful of the magazines - Liberty, Look, Modern Screen, Newsweek, Outdoor Life, Screen Song, Time.

I enjoy watching film noir as well but haven't seen this film yet.

Anyone have any ideas on what the book at the top of the frame with the two elvish figures might be?

Pretty dog gone good film. It is in the "Film Noir Classic Collection" vol. 5, set. Eight great films!
"Cornered" (with Dick Powell), "Desperate," "The Phenix City Story", "Dial 1119", "Armored Car Robbery", "Crime in the Streets", "Deadline at Dawn", lastly "Backfire" (Virginia Mayo).

$20-34 on Ebay right now!

Not sure what the title of the book may be , but that is Vernon Grant Artwork.  He is one of my favorite artist that did a lot of commerical Illustrations in the 30s,40s & 50s.  He also did the Kellogg's Rice Krispies illustrations.   A number of years ago, there were a series of Vernon Grant posters released that are truly "art".   I have a friend who collects Vernon Grant, he may be able to tell us more.

It's a magazine called Liberty (you can see the title in the first pic), but search engine searches failed to bring up the exact issue, although Vernon Grant did do similar covers for the same magazine.

The Liberty Issue is from October 14, 1944. "2 elves in a political discussion"   Vernon Grant did a lot of covers and if anyone is interested I can post a list of covers done by Mr Grant. The information comes from a fellow comicbook collector and Vernon Grant fan.

Just watched another good Noir. "Cry Danger" with Dick Powell, worth a watch, it is over on YouTube. A Noir film is worth watching if he is in it!
Well, saw a "Heddy" comic as well as a "Detective" in the background, take a look and see what you think!

Despite the limited visuals I think I've identified the comics.

Hedy De Vine Comics #23 (October 1947) http://www.comics.org/issue/202899/cover/4/

Detective Comics #160 (June 1950) http://www.comics.org/issue/8320/cover/4/

Man you guys are good. That is definitely the Detective. I am not so sure about Hedy.

Good  work!

Impressive guys!
But who is the beauty beside the Screenland magazine.

A guy is reading "Little Orphan Annie"  at about 58 minutes into "The Enemy Below", Robert Mitchum as the destroyer captain hunting down a German U-boat in WWII.


 I watched it on You Tube the other day. Many people commented that it most likely inspired the Star Trek TOS episode "Balance of Terror"

Found this short little film over on www.archive.org, the gigantic public domain repository of the internet!
"The Cliche Family in Televisionland", 1965. Dad is reading a Casper comic to the family....
Go on over to archive.org and watch this little 10 minute gem. It is a parody of all the stereotypes of the American TV family of the 1950's. It really is pretty dog gone funny!
