Warlord Posted August 12 Share Posted August 12 (edited) I've been tracking and identifying DC Whitman multi-packs for quite a long time. Over the years, I've spotted 137 different DC Whitmans in a multi-pack. I've collected the multipacks that contain 122 of these 137 issues, but there are still a handful I need for my collection. Regardless of owning them, I'm still interested in documenting their existence. There are 27 issues (barring any errors in my analysis) that I've never found in multi-packs that are noted in the following list. I think it's time to ask for assistance in finding as many of these as possible. Unsurprisingly, the big 8 issues appear in this list, but some of the rest aren't as scarce so you'd think a multi-pack would turn up. Can anyone share a pic of any of the following issues in a 2-pack or 3-pack? Action 508 Batman 323, 324 DC Comics Presents 9, 10, 14, 22 Flash 273, 274, 276, 278, 286 Green Lantern 116, 117, 118, 119 Justice League of America 167, 168, 179 New Adventures of Superboy 6 Sgt Rock 329 Superboy and the Legion of Super-Heroes 264 Super Friends 16, 21, 32 Superman 348 Warlord 22 Edited August 12 by Warlord Brock 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warlord Posted August 22 Share Posted August 22 Yep, the surprises are the rest of the listed issues which are relatively much easier to find. For instance, JLA 167, 168, 179 or Flash 273, 274, 276 or GL 116, 117, 118, 119. But I've never seen a 3-pack that contains only JLA issues, or only Flash issues, or only GL issues. It sure would pare down that list quickly if such 3-packs exist! Ditto for Super Friends and DC Comics Presents. All of these titles where I'm still searching for multiple examples have only been seen to be in mixed packs. In comparison, the titles where I have seen 3-packs containing only a single title are Action (3 diff packs) Batman (3 or possibly 4 diff packs - I've seen images of a pack with Batman issues front and back, but don't know the middle comic) Brave and the Bold (4 diff packs) Superboy and the Legion of Super-Heroes (3 diff packs) Superman (3 diff packs) Wonder Woman (4 diff packs) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warlord Posted August 22 Share Posted August 22 Here are two 3-packs that I've seen but don't own and I didn't find out the middle comic. Can anyone confirm the hidden middle comic in these packs? Batman #312, #316 and . For this one, you can see a sliver of the bottom of the middle comic peeking out from behind Batman #312. It looks like Batman #315 to me but I'd like a confirmation from someone who has seen or owns this pack.

All that did was remind me of the last song skit on an Adam sandler standup audio disc! (How's that for variant qualifiers!). That ends in, "All the world is Shluck!" Or something I want to say Sssh don't tell album but the guy has a funny perspective sometimes, and has a Netflix special that's 'new" coming out this week. Some relevance because the album is shleck. Shark 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ADAMANTIUM Posted August 25 Share Posted August 25 Having deja vu like I had that conversation before. The most Whitman's I run into are ones that are normally Dell, and it would float my boat if I knew anything about them. Some can look old to my untrained eye and not be... Anyways.

There are three pairs of DC Whitman packs I've identified where the same group of three comics are in two different types of bags. Your pack is an one version of one of these situations. Here's the variation that also holds Superman #338, 339, and 340. Instead of the Superman logo and image, this one just has the Super Heroes top flap. This is the most dramatic difference in packaging. The other two pairs of packs are packaged similarly with the same style of logos, but there are two different color variations where one is red and the other is green.
