wormboy Posted June 17, 2016 Author Share Posted June 17, 2016 Here's my counter display box, the Whitman logo version of Superman #1 Famous First Edition C-61 aka "Superman Giant Comics" as listed on the box! All 24 of the original books are present and accounted for! Whoa! Now that's what I'm talking about! I have never seen that before! Love it. Happy to have seen it and know it exists! Thanks for sharing. So I bet there are many more out there somewhere? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjrjr Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 Wasn't there a Treasury-sized King Kong Whitman with a display box? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wormboy Posted June 17, 2016 Author Share Posted June 17, 2016 Quite possibly from the looks of things. I have never seen one, but I would obviously be thrilled to own or even see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wormboy Posted June 17, 2016 Author Share Posted June 17, 2016 The Conan is another Pence copy - nice - I missed that initially. Do you have both the Pence and cents versions, or is one copy good enough for you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for sharing. So I bet there are many more out there somewhere? Thanks, I think it is pretty sweet too and I was overjoyed when I got the opportunity in 2014 to add it to my Whitman collection! Here's another treasury thread from years ago. I was thinking comicwiz had a box of the Superman/Ali books a number of years ago so I was searching for that and found the thread. He posted a sharp copy in the thread but I didn't find a picture of a box so I may be mistaken... Probably still worth your time to check out the thread to see the treasuries that were posted, particularly the signed/slipcase Superman #1 at the end of the thread!

Warlord Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 (edited) Aha! Here is the pic, a sealed box of 12... he opened the box and sold individual copies but said he was going to keep the box, so maybe we will yet see some pics of the interior. This is from 2008 and I thought I remembered correctly that he had posted this box, so I guess it did make a bit of an impression on me Thread Edited June 17, 2016 by Warlord Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brock Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 Kong. There's a UK version of this too, larger than the Marvel weeklies, but smaller than the US treasuries... It's not a Whitman, though... A UK publisher whose name escapes me at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

comicwiz Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 @Warlord and wormboy - I've taken several pictures of it but photobucket is taking forever to run on my computer. I did find a few pics for an article I wrote on store displays for a FB group: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
