Newsstand Photos

So you're traipsing around the Internet and at a loss for something to look up. Try this as a challenge for your comic book sensibilities...

Find an old photograph of a newsstand... Then, see if you can figure out when it might have been taken based on the comic books displayed. In the above photo, for example, one can discern More Fun Comics #48 and All-American Comics #8, cover dated October and November 1939 respectively...
Here's another shot of the store's interior... Hanging up and clearly visible are: Hit Comics #11 (May 1941), Big 3 #2 (Spring 1941), Champ Comics #13 (May 1941), All-American Comics #25 (April 1941), World's Best Comics #1 (Spring 1941), Superman #10 (May/June 1941), Action Comics #35 (April 1941), All-Star Comics #4 (March/April 1941), Master Comics #13 (April 1941), and Blue Beetle #6 (March/April 1941)...

Curiously, it appears that hiding behind the gumball machine is Batman #4 (Winter 1941) instead of #5 (Spring 1941)...
