No! it is the same size as UK Marvel weeklies, I will try and get a picture of both copies side by side to give you some idea.

UK version of #28 .

Found another.

Still going, I think, can't understand why the seller has not snapped the buyers hand off.

The only Whitman I have.

 

 

Beautiful copy!

Thanks Tim, great thread.

Is this a Whitman?

Not Whitman related, but a cool UK ad.

The only Whitman I have.

Your both probably right.

These are cool - some of the 'shippers' for the Star Wars Treasuries were printed on the inside so that the case could be used as a counter display. Here are some images I pulled from the Internet. It looks like there were two versions.

 

 

This one is mine.

 

 

At least take the horizontal banding off.

I am super, super excited about this piece I picked up recently - I have never seen another like it.

 

 

 

 

 

The 'W' logo on the display also makes me think Whitman had more to do with these books than I originally thought. I assumed if it didn't have a W logo version of the book then Whitman didn't touch it, but it appears they did, even from the beginning (#1)?

 

Has anybody else seen a counter display like this for books other than this and Star Wars? I seem to have a blurry memory of seeing one for Superman/Ali, but it may have been a dream.

Never seen this in all my years of collecting, out of all the comic related stuff I have seen before, this is one of the coolest, how many copies are in the display?

Lovely book Peter.

Awesome find.

Sweet.
