Heck, I've got two of the 33. @Brock, keep me in mind if you want to let that 34 go. Thanks, @OtherEric - I've been travelling, and slow on keeping up with things here. It's a beater copy, but I'd be willing to send it to you if I can cover my costs. I will PM you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Brock Posted October 6, 2023 Author Popular Post Share Posted October 6, 2023 Well, here's the latest arrival, courtesy of a seller in Oregon. But there's a story on this one... This is the same copy that sold a couple of months back for $3.25, where the seller wouldn't ship outside of the United States. However, @Sal had reached out to me to let me know that the new owner had also listed the book for auction. In the end, I still got a great deal, and I'm happy to add this one to the collection. What a great community this is! namisgr, grendel013, BigLeagueCHEW and 7 others 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post OtherEric Posted October 13, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted October 13, 2023 A few Looney Tunes and a couple of Whitman-related books in today. Comic-Fan, Morganmi, Brock and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post OtherEric Posted October 14, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted October 14, 2023 In today, a gift from @Brock... he only charged me his cost and shipping, which is less than 1/3 of the next cheapest copy I can see at the moment. I know the #35 has the reputation as the rarest Whitman Looney Tunes, but in my experience the #34 is actually the harder one to locate. Of course, now that I've got 33-35 complete, I'm more or less committed to completing the run. But, as indicated, the hard part is done! I cannot thank Brock enough for this, I love these forums and the people here. The generosity of the group is staggering.

skillzdadirecta Posted October 25, 2023 Share Posted October 25, 2023 Forgive me if this is a dumb question but are these Whitmans? Found these in a bunch of books I got from an auction last year that I fnally got around to cataloging today. May have more. OtherEric 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is actually a point of contention, the books were undeniably distributed by Whitman, probably even primarily distributed by Whitman. But there is an ongoing disagreement over were they exclusively distributed by Whitman. In this thread, we happily accept them as Whitman books, because they were definitely distributed by Whitman. But be careful elsewhere, many people have very strong feelings on the subject. RockMyAmadeus, skillzdadirecta and Get Marwood & I 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey skillz - If you have a read through this thread, you’ll see lots of discussion on exactly this topic. My own opinion (and I could be wrong) is that these fat diamond books were “non-returnable” editions, used in a variety of contexts. In the previous pages, you’ll see reference to them as appearing in Whitman bags, anecdotal recollections of dealers about them being early direct editions, and photos suggesting they were sold on newsstands in the UK. Lots of people call them Whitmans (like CLZ), and CGC calls them “multi-pack editions”. It used to be that collectors called these reprints, though now we know (believe?) better… part of what this thread tries to do (at least occasionally) is throw some fresh light on this topic. We’re definitely learning as we go… OtherEric, skillzdadirecta and Get Marwood & I 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree 100% in almost all cases. But I think the Whitman Comics Presents #3 might be the lone DC Whitman where the Whitman version is more common than the regular one. Then again, it does have a wonderful Jose Luis Garcia Lopez cover. Brock and Jesse-Lee 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of the books that came in Superman packs 1978/1979 are the most common thanks to the popularity of the Superman movie. Have seen tons of sealed examples in my travels.
