Which list do the So Much Fun/DCs fall under?

 

I have all five of them. I count them as promotional, as they were a variant which were done by one specific company, as were the Weatherbird Shoe comics which were DC comics with their own cover added.

 

I'd put them on the list of regular DC issues, only because they were sold at retail in stores. To be properly categorized as promotional would seem to suggest that they were giveaways or in some other way distributed without being available for purchase.

 

Not that it matters of course, but it's just interesting to see what people think.

WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT THIS COMICS SEAL OF APPROVAL

 

What's the scoop on this one?

 

It was a 1950s promotional comic made to promote the new Seal Of Approval at the time. It was manufactured by DC but was used to promote all new comics from all companies using the new code.

I have never seen a copy but amazingly, it IS listed in Overstreet.

I tried to do a web-search on AQUATEERS MEET THE SUPER FRIENDS, but for some reason, about all the results were links to dating-services. The "meet" part, I suppose.

P.S. Oh, I just found an oddball DC promo online. Anyone ever heard of this one?

I have never seen any of the six. Then again, The Dirt-Minator, Happy Tooth, Twisted Metal, and the Stroehmans Bread Giveaway, are all equally as rare.

 

I still wonder if the Bugs Bunny mini-comic truly does exist. The same goes for the Cartoon Network Platinum Edition.

I have no idea what the Superman Golden Press giveaway is. Does it have anything to do with all those Golden Press childred's books ???

 

The other three most certainly exist, even though I've never seen them. But for instance, I have the 1977 DC Super Heroes Vitamins giveaway, which for years collectors said was a mistake and didn't exist, yet I grabbed one off e-Bay last year, and have never since heard of another.

Details on how to get the King James promos have been on the DC Comics Web Site for the last couple of weeks. See the link in the news section of the home page. Some look as if they are going to be hard to get. I.e. one of the variants is only being made available through US Military Stores.

 

Some are on e-bay already.

 

Regards Earl.

ten covers???

 

I can hear Ian from over the pond: "oy vey!!"

 

I already knew there were ten covers. The whole story was on DCs own site. I don't yet have a single one of them.

 

Mind you the promo Six Flags giveaway DC comics were worse. The comic has Batman and Bugs Bunny in it, was given away at each theme park, and there were eleven different covers, and I still only have six of those.
