| Ian I imagine you are aware of the following comic cavalcade reprint giveaways Carl Akeley...He Brought Us Africa 
and this LARGE logo variant of the "Tomorrow - the world" issue 
as opposed to the more common version ( although the dc index site uses the above version ) 
there are some books you may not have seen on the old forum thread 
very obscure for some reason , this was included in a programme for a motorsports event & was listed in the magazines section of previews Colour Front Cover - Black & White remainder variant on Mask giveaway # 1 
American Cancer Society "Smoking is for squares" flyer c.1964 
I presume you know about the 4 Alex Ross cover issues of tv guide featuring a Smallville comic strip 
now there's some books you may be able to give me some info on Wizard world wild times wildcats #0 - are there two variants of this from different cons ( other than the standard edition polybagged with wizard) 
Colour variants on superman's buddy are listed by overstreet - have you seen any? 
Is this Giant canadian item a comic? 
Have you got this british giveaway pictured in one of Dennis Gifford's books? 
and finally can you add to the list of parks which had versions of the six flags guide comic I know of : Ohio; Over Georgia; Darien Lake; Great adventure & Wild Safari; St. Louis; Magic Mountain; Great America (25th anniversary); Kentucky Kingdom

| Here's a few scans from my collection ( only one is a giveaway) - I know these are all considered scarce & people like to know how many are about I finally managed to complete this set a couple of months ago by getting the colour version of "rumble at rampage rock" 
I got this "Fat and Slat Joke Book" off ebay about 6 years ago for around $50. I'd always considered it a DC so I was suprised to find it was not universally acknowledged as such 
This buzzy #70 was part of a small batch I got off ebay about 6/7 years ago for $3 or $4 each - at the time I hadn't read Michelle Nolan's article describing it as rare & I didn't see Ian's posts offering silly money for it until after he'd got a copy - I could well have been tempted to sell at the time!

I have all of these including both versions of Tomorrow The World.
I don't have The Twain Shall Meet, not the two obscure ones that Mike Voiles pictures on his site, but I do have another one not listed in Overstreet.
Collecting every DC.

Mine's in full colour.
They came with a plastic play Superman suit for kids in the 1940s.
The blue only printing seems to be one that they made when they simply couldn't afford full colour ink, probably due to the War.

Is this Giant canadian item a comic?
I've got this.
It's bigger than a comic but yes it is a comic book.

| I was just looking through hake's price guide to character toys ( first edition ) & spotted a batman promo that appears identical in format to my "smoking is for squares" flyer - then I went online & discovered a copy had sold only recently through their site http://www.hakes.com/item.asp?Auction=194&ItemNo=68397 "Batman and Robin - Stand Up For Sportsmanship!" 1949 also worth noting is that the superman listing has pictured the second 1944 superman christmas giveaway & it should be more properly titled "Superman's Christmas Play Book"

I dont know if it counts, but I bought the Superman 13 DVD set and there is a free comic in the box. It's in spanishI knew there was a comic in this set ( reprints issue 7 of the current run ? ) - but I didn't get one as I have already got the previous boxset, but Spanish? - must have been a miscollation surely There's a new con-edison giveaway out - see various ebay auctions - "Energy & Safety adventures with the JLA" I've also picked up two giveaways that I believe are toys'r'us variants - they came with a justice league adventures # 13 toys'r'us marked giveaway but not as a pack so I can't be definite but all are dated July 2003 and all state in indicia "This Facsimilie edition not intended for sale" - none have upc boxes Looney Tunes # 102 
Scooby Doo # 72 
I'll post these two in the comics missing from the database later as well
