Amazing Spider-Man - Whitham with a red logo?

[Fan Boy]

Need to know something about the red starbrust logo on Amazing Spider-Man #186 that I got among a lot I brought. It looks like a Whitham variant to me, but most others I've seen had a white starbrust logo.

 

Anyone know if Whitham had put other colors in this logo sometimes?

Yes, it's a Whitman. I've seen some with yellow

Direct market, whether through Whitman or not. Probably through Whitman, but more properly called "Direct market."

"Whitham, kindly fetch me my slippers and a cup of tea? There's a good chap."

Red Whitman not rare, but still cool.

 

Yellow's are fun too.

Are there any other colors besides the three already mentioned?

Good point, I did had seen yellows time to time. Seems that whites are lot more common than yellows. Which raise the question in what are the ratio Whitham used with colors?

 

And another thought: Did Whitham print more than one variant of the same issue of same #? Yes, on the newsstand and on direct market ... But what of logo colour?

Whitman, with their multi-packs, was a major player in the direct market at the time. They had absolutely nothing to do with newsstand copies of comics that they weren't publishing themselves.

 

The colours on the direct market copies are the same as on the regular newsstand copies.
