Description: This issues is a direct market variant. These are sometime erroneously called Whitman variants. But what do the tooth fairy and standard-size "Marvel Whitmans" have in common? They don't exist! So-called "Marvel Whitmans" are actually the first direct market editions beginning with issues cover dated Feb. '77 and ending with May '79, before disappearing forever with issues cover dated Sept. '82. Some books were 'skipped' between Feb. '77 and May '79, specifically Jan.-Mar. '78, July '78, and Mar.-Apr. '79. These gaps, the packaging of direct market editions and DC Whitmans in Whitman bags, and some conclusion jumping in the pages of Comics' Buyer's Guide ultimately led to the misconception and widespread use of the nickname "Marvel Whitmans." Ships bagged and boarded. Very Human Comics tries to accurately represent the condition of our comics with our grades and pictures. Despite this we are aware that grades are subjective and we are glad to provide more pictures upon request. If you ever buy one of our comics and have it pressed or graded, please send pictures! We would love to see the results!
