OtherEric Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 A couple more Spidey Super Stories I got today. They are from 1978, but have the "squashed diamond" rather than the more normal "square diamond" you would expect from that time frame, presumably because of the different cover layout: Get Marwood & I and wormboy 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Note that the indicia for the Whitman Marvel's Greatest Comics 74 says "30 cents". Heh heh heh. Reverse variant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone have one that has #200 in it? 203-205? Does this exist? Do you have one? Please post a pic! 206-208 Front & Back: 209-211 Front and Back: There likely is not a Whitman 3 pack containing FF 200 because FF 200 was a 60c double-size issue, and thus it would not fit into the Whitman 3 pack pricing scheme. This has some bearing on the Marvel Whitman debate. As far as I can tell, there was not a FF 200 direct edition. This seems consistent with the position that the Marvel direct editions of this era were made solely for Whitman 3 packs.

The Conan pack does have the 60 cent double-sized issue 100, but you are correct about the FF 200 not having a direct edition, which leads me to believe that you are correct about the FF bags not having FF 200.

Thanks. I was trying to think of other higher-priced books to test my theory. But enough of that. I don't want to open that can of worms here. wormboy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
