I was alerted that there was a mistake in my tracking of the Batman Adventures issues because some issues we had previously added to the list had dropped off. I think this is correct now if I've accurately combined the info from the recent lists. UPDATED 3/27/2022! Re-added some Batman Adventures issues that were mistakenly dropped from the list. DC issues WITH DC Bullet or Batman Logo UPC Variants Action 693, 6Action 693, 694 Adventures of Superman 507 Batman 502 Batman Adventures 14 1st print, 14 2nd print, 15, 16 1st print, 16 2nd print, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30 (all with Batman logo) Batman and Robin Adventures (Batman and Robin silhouette) Batman Forever - The Official Comic Adaptation - Prestige format (Batman logo) Batman: Riddler - The Riddle Factory (Batman logo) Batman: Two-Face - Crime And Punishment (Batman logo) Batman-Spawn: War Devil (Batman logo) Catwoman 4 Detective 669 Flash 85 Justice League America 83 Justice League International 58, 59 Legionnaires 9 Looney Tunes 1 Robin 1, 2 Showcase '93 12 Star Trek 55 Star Trek The Next Generation 55 Superman 84 Superman The Man of Steel 28 Wonder Woman 81

Yes, I need one of those to complete the collection!

Marvel transitioned to the small diamond layout for all titles in June 1979. This pack would have been released about six months after that, so the small diamond Marvels were to be expected by then. There are many Whitman labeled packs that contain the late 1979/early-80s Direct edition Marvel comics.

This may be a trend. I've seen a few Star comics in the last year in dealers box for $20 or so which I found shocking. And I'm seeing sales on ebay (Ewoks, Droids, Thundercats, etc) that used to be easy buys for a few bucks a copy are now readily going for $10 a pop or more. I found a few issues of Peter Porker at the last show and was happy to grab them for cheap because I know they were a bargain. Maybe Royal Roy and Top Dog aren't going to escape the dollar boxes, but I think some of the titles and issues are making their move.

I should also mention that this Whitman 3-pack may be my white whale first spotted way back in 2003 when I had barely begun collecting DC Whitmans. I came across a multi-pack on ebay that had a DC Whitman sandwiched between two other comics, and I'm pretty sure it was Flash #283. Just fresh into the search and not knowing much about which packs were common or not, I didn't know if I should try very hard to buy it and it went to some other buyer. It's been a long long wait to find it again, and this time I didn't let it get away. I'm not sure if this is the same combo of comics that I vaguely remember from so many years ago, but it seems fairly likely that it is. Anyway, I'm telling myself that it is!

Already cross posted in two other threads with more details, so here's just a quick pic of Flash #283 hiding in a multi-pack

Here's a very cool pack. Contents: Marvel Super-Heroes #87 (March 1980) Flash #283 DC Whitman variant (middle - March 1980) Shogun Warriors #11 (Dec 1979) Very odd that Whitman mixed up two March 1980 comics with an older one from Dec 1979, plus it's rare that they put DC and Marvel comics in the same pack. This is the second appearance of Flash #283 in a Whitman multi-pack. Flash #283 also appeared in a 3-pack of all DC Whitman issues together with Wonder Woman #264 and Brave And The Bold #159. Both of those issues were from Feb 1980 and were joined together with the Flash #283 from March 1980.

Time for the group shot of my All promo comics collection. Side by side, the sticker on the Marvel Tales comic looks totally legit. Makes me wonder if some young comics fan back in the day carefully peeled the sticker off of his free ASM 184 and put it on a different Spidey comic? Makes for a nice set, I think!

This is the same sticker as shown in my photo, but from a scan!

Yes, a scan of the book makes the sticker look off white.

Here's my recent find of the Amazing Spider-Man #184 no price variant with the All detergent sticker! When I came across it, I wasn't specifically hunting for it because I was just going through a box of random comics when it turned up. It might have been the only ASM comic in the box. It's been on my want list for quite a while, but I've never even seen a copy of the no price variant in person before. I could not believe my luck to stumble across this at the local comic show! Not just a no price variant but a copy with the All promo sticker intact! Another cool piece of comics history that I'm very happy to have in my collection!

OK, here's another comic to help liven up the thread. A recent upgrade of Godzilla #3!

Those are so very cool!

I suspect it's the latter case, but that's just my hunch.

Another common DCCP #22! I hope your buddy didn't let them walk back out the door! That Superboy/LSH in the top row looks sweet!

I undergraded every book in Round 3. Watch for *my* future sell threads to score some steals!

I'm stuffing the ballot box with all the grading permutations!

Yes and maybe.

This round's results: There was so much fuzziness on that ASM that I gave up and just dismissed it all as photo defects. Plus there was no chipping on the right edge which usually costs copies .2. Shot too high due to the image, but as I said earlier, everyone's using the same images so that's on me.

This round I can't get an image that's as clear as the first round. Two clicks gets a large image, then you can zoom in using software. Could be some hidden surprises that you can't be sure about this way. But.... everyone is looking at the same scans, so it's a level playing field.

Dunno about that, but the CW Superman & Lois show made reference to Doomsday right before they revealed that the newly appearing super-villain was There were many similarities to Doomsday as they were dropping clues, ultimately leading up to Lois telling Clark to "not go all doomsday on me".

This is the only scan from Round 2 that I'm fairly confident I graded correctly!!! Grades are in!

I graded everything "ebay NM". I think that should be spot on for all five comics, so I've got what, 0 points?

I added one person to my Ignore list during the conversation, that helped improve my enjoyment of the thread! The Ignore feature is your friend!
