bellrules Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 In regards to the art on the Balck Hole books, you're right it's pretty horrible. I own two unpublished pages from what was supposed to be issue #6. It didn't get any better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RockMyAmadeus Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 I am an 80's collector, and as such, have had to learn allll about Whitman 3-Packs, where they came from, why they came to be, etc. It doesn't help that very, very few of these ever made it out to California.

bellrules Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 One of the best resources to start off is an article that was printed in Comic Book Marketplace #85 and #86. Then go to Doug Sulipa's website where he breaks down which issues he estimates are the rarest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there are any questions which you still can't find an answer to, post it here. I have a question regarding Whitman Black Hole #5 and #6. There is an unconfirmed rumour that issues #5 and #6 were printed but were not circulated worldwide. A European location is mentioned as a source where copies have been discovered. Has anyone here heard anything about this or seen any copies to back this rumour? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bellrules Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 I've never heard of that. Would be a great find if they did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These were discussed on the ebay message boards in 2000-2001. That's where I first learned of them. (thumbs u Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidcolt Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 (edited) I am still shocked that I have 2 comics from the top 20. I always loved Battle of the planets #7 and I was pleasantly surprised to see it on the list. Back a few years ago a friend of mine listed a little lulu or lil dot on ebay. He thought it was a $7 comic and would sell it for $3-4, it ended for over $600. I don't know what happened for it to sell so high, it must have been a variant or short print book.

AJD Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 The Mile High web site is quite a useful reference source for the Gold Key/Whitman overlap period. They list the books seperately - here's an example. Of course, while you're there you can buy them at Chuck's bargain basement prices... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

comicwiz Posted November 14, 2009 Author Share Posted November 14, 2009 Mind if I ask how much it set you back? You can PM me if you prefer. It was part of a trade deal. We've been doing some trading back and forth and I have to say I can't recall having ever had this much fun with collecting comics. It helps that Andy is a great person to deal with too! I'm keeping an eye out for some Canadian price variants to help him complete his runs so hopefully we will be able to keep the trades going for awhile.
