Popular Post Brock Posted February 26, 2021 Author Popular Post Share Posted February 26, 2021 Then there's this example of the very scarce digests that Whitman published a bit later in the 1970s. There were a number of these, but I'm not aware of any catalogue or list identifying them all. They are very slightly larger in dimensions than the typical Gold Key, Archie or DC digest books. I am only aware of Disney digests, though there may well have been others. This The Wonderful World of Disney #2, published in 1978. Again, we can see this is produced by Whitman Golden Ltd. in Cambridge. There's also a statement in the indicia that talks about "Western Publishing Inc., of which Whitman Golden Limited is a registered user." porcupine48, OtherEric, Morganmi and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now those are the Star Wars bags I remember buying as a kid. Bought them all except the last one and read them to death. Still have a few raggedy issues left but remember the hunter issues being my favorite. Very Cool! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Brock Posted April 1, 2021 Author Popular Post Share Posted April 1, 2021 Here are today's new arrivals. Action #495, Flash #275 and Justice League #169 are all the highest copies of those books on the census, while Flash #278 is the 2nd highest. It's worth noting that the Justice League issue is not noted by CGC as a Whitman edition - technically, there are no copies of this book on the census. CGC seems to have a real quality control issue with DC Whitmans. Based on my own experience, I would suggest that about 15% of these books are mislabelled, either not noting them as Whitman editions, or assigning them an incorrect issue number. djzombi, Morganmi, bellrules and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though I have quite a few Whitman DC single and in packs, I only have 1 graded. It is a 9.2 Flash #275 graded by another company. I am surprised an 8.5 is the census highest on CGC. I guess just not many people see the need to grade it. Warlord, bellrules and Morganmi 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
