Let's compare:It looks to me like they repainted the whole cover, rather than just flipping the image.

This is one case where I'll be perfectly happy if the variants are super rare and hard to get!

It seems to be working now, thank you.

I'm still not getting updates when a member I follow posts. I am getting all other updates.

Yes, but this is the only one I know of where the content of the treasury was produced by Whitman, not Marvel.

Here’s a rarity: The only Whitman Marvel (as opposed to Marvel Whitman) that I’m aware of, along with the Whitman version:

Agreed to a large degree; but it still wasn't nearly as common or generally recognized as it is today, or even was later in the 1980's.

I've said it before, but I'm very lucky that my parents supported my collecting habits from a young age; I was around 10 when I got my first back issue comics as a birthday or Christmas gift. And they made a point of giving me an issue of MAD once they thought I was old enough to appreciate it (around the same time). Here's a few more of my EC's in the "let's post stuff for fun" effort:

I agree with you 99% of the time, but that’s a windmill I’ve give up tilting at. Here’s an example of the other 1%, probably one of the 10 earliest original owner books I still have:

A few DC Whitman variants:

Here's the pair of books that prompted me to ask about a Whitman thread; these aren't in the highest rarity tier but they're definitely not common:

I should see if I can find my copy of that issue; I don't think it's my oldest original owner book but it's in the first 30... given how the Whitman bags stayed on sale, the order I got my early Star Wars issues is fuzzy at best.

And 161 is the last Space Museum story in Strange Adventures; after this it's mostly used in relation to Booster Gold's origin or the Legion of Super-Heroes. But the concept has held on surprisingly solidly for such an offbeat Silver Age concept; it keeps popping up here and there. The 204 is the last issue before Deadman starts; I don't want to call it the last classic issue, particularly since I think Deadman is arguably the title's finest hour. But it's still definitely a turning point for the series.

Space Museum in all, I think that's my next target since I've finished Atomic Knights. Then get the Star Hawkins issues:

And, as promised, a few issues I got before/ during the emergency move, and haven't been able to scan before this. 106 is the second Space Museum:

And continuing the repost of everything I've got for general fun since the old images are fixed:

Loving the Christmas covers!

Was looking for a thread where people were showing them off is all, either Whitmans in general or the late 1980 rare issues specifically.

Thank you, PM sent!

If I wasn't still in the process of updating my address due to the emergency move, I would probably grab that. Thanks for the heads up!

A very minor pickup today at the local book store:

I do love how the Avon Fantasy Readers... how to put this... creatively rename and present stories. The cover story was originally "Flight on Titan"

Semi-random pickup today. Great cover by Belarski:

And it does look like we've got the old images back... but, unless somebody complains, I see no reason not to show off a few books each day here on general principles:

That's the UCS Slave I from 2015, not the 20th anniversary set released last year.
