Definitions for "Newsstand"
a stall where newspapers and other periodicals are sold
a table-of-contents for all of the newspapers created and available on a summit page
According to legend, once a place that sold comics. Comics still feature on the newsstand, as they get mentioned once a year in Rolling Stone, and possibly twice in Entertainment Weekly. This usually leads to excited proclamations about how comics are finally breaking in to the mainstream, because they're now being mentioned in a place where they used to be sold.
