Hi Gang,
Here's another batch of kids with comics photos for you to enjoy. I always enjoy these kinds a lot. These first one can be tough to look at knowing how hard life must have been for them. I hope everything turned out as well as they wanted in life.

These next three are by legendary film director STANLEY KUBRICK which he took for a
Look Magazine feature. These were from before his film days in 1947 when he was just 19 years old. You can read more about him on Wiki where they share a picture of him with his camera at age 21.

Stanley Kubrick, 1947
(original caption) While she follows the adventures of Donald Duck and the Katzenjammer Kids, this young 5 and 10 customer absent-mindedly munches a foot-long piece of licorice. And as long as the candy holds out, she stands by her comic book heroes through thick and thin. Like any reader, she smiles when her story has a happy ending.

Kubrick would go on to a distinguished career as a feature movie director in Hollywood and England.
