Ridiculously Rare DC Giveaways And Premiums 5 5

[Ian_Levine]

Now that I've gone to the trouble of scanning the incredibly rare 1977 DC Super Heroes Vitamins giveaway, that so many collectors said didn't exist because they'd never laid eyes on a copy, here it is. I posted it on another thread, but it TRULY belongs here on this one.

Metarog has been asking for a scan of the ridiculously rare Warlord mini-comic.

It just arrived.

Despite what Paul Levitz said it DOES indeed exist.

I shall be getting it scanned and posted up on here tomorrow.

Indeed.

 

Haven't found a picture of it anywhere on the internet. Here's an ad I found, though.

Who's Paul Levitz?

The President of DC

For Metarog and everyone else that's interested.

The next five scans, put up as five separate postings, are some of the rarest DC giveaways you could ever come across, and I hope it's all stuff you've never seen before. The theme is extreme rarity.

 

Here is the Warlord mini-comic which was cancelled and is not officially supposed to exist.

This is an incredibly rare 1960s Batman mini-comic with lots of sketches and images in it.

This is a pair of mini-comic giveaways which are licensed off DC and printed in Japan. They can't be for sale in Japan however, because the comics are all in English.

This is a 1981 DC cookbook mini-comic, given away with Woman's Day magazine. DC did a proper hardbacked full size cookbook later, but this is different.

And finally, Flash Force 2000. This is simply THE rarest full set of DC giveaways you will ever see. I know of nobody else other than myself in the world who has a full set of all five. Three of them are rare. Even the toys they came with are rare, and worth a fortune, made in 1982 by Matchbox cars. The fourth (Rumble At Rampage Rock) is virtually impossible. The fifth is the black and white version of the fourth, which Paul Levitz said was made exclusively for Toyfair.

Overstreet lists them as a set of five, but has no clue as to their value or rarity.

Like I said, I have never ever heard of another full set anywhere.

 

[Metarog]

Thanks for the scans Ian... really neat stuff you got there. How is the the Promo database coming along? There is a list over at Mike's Amazing World of DC but it is missing a bunch of these.

So are you happy now I got the Warlord scanned

[Ian_Levine]

I wonder if the scans are evidence enough to satisfy Arnold T. Blumberg

[ArnoldTBlumberg]

No they aren't Ian, and we've already discussed this in-depth before. We need the indicia from those issues as well so we can see and verify copyright info, dates, etc. These scans are wonderful, make no mistake, but they're just part of what we need to add them to the Guide. As you pledged to try again so we can lay that issue to rest, I don't think a few more scans of the relevant information will put you out too much.

Did you get the NY Post Batman comic that came out last week?

My friend at DC has posted one to me, but it hasn't arrived yet.

 

And why is there a picture of Scott Savol by your name

I vote Blumberg flies to the UK to hand-document all of Ian's stuff so Ian doesn't have to risk scans of inside indicias.

And Ian, GREAT stuff. For once, I'm on your side of the argument.

Nice books Ian, congratulations on finding them!

[Crackandpresstoan11]

Screw Overstreet. I'm sure Krause's Standard Catalog of Comic Books would be interested in Ian's wealth of info.
