From the Feb. 11, 2015, Shorpy "Yreka Comix: 1942." You can see the photo by typing in the title. "Yreka, California Magazine Stand." by Russell Lee, OWI (Office of War Information).
I was interested in seeing what people back then were reading, especially kids. Were some of the comics about the war?
Here are the magazines, newspapers and comics I could make out in the photo with headlines
LIFE MAGAZINE-- "War Stamp Bride" 10 cents
SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE-- "Rommel Drives On Deep Into Egypt"
COLLIER'S
The rest are comic books.
ACTION STORIES-- 20 cents
SKYFIGHTERS-- 10 cents World War II, "Wings of Victory"
Great Reads. --GreGen
The USS North Carolina (BB-55) My all-time favorite warship. As an elementary school student in North Carolina, I donated nickels and dimes to save this ship back in the early sixties.
