First of all I'm somewhat new to all this comic book' stuff'. I have looked and looked on the ComicsPriceGuide web site and the locations of the answers to my questions still elude me.
Hopefully someone out there may know the answer(s) to my questions immediately. If not I may be looking in the wrong group or area or something for the following issues of comic titles. And, the below information is all that I have immediately available at my finger tips. If you need more detailed information from me, I can get additional information if necessary by making a few phone calls. Thanks !!!
A) I can't find these Comic Titles within the DC Group.
COMIC TITLE:
1) The Inferior Five: Issue #65, Nov-Dec 1966
2) The House of Secrets: Issue #83, Dec 1969 /Jan 1970
3) Worlds Finest Comics: Issue #162, Nov 1966 AND Issue #167, Jun 1967
B) I can't find these Comic Titles within the Gold Key or Gold Key Whitman Group.
COMIC TITLE:
1) Walt Disney's Comics & Stories, Issue #29, Aug 1969
2) Walt Disney's Christmas Parade [Giant Comic] Issue #5, couldn't find a date anywhere
C) I can't find these Comic Titles within the HARVEY Group.
COMIC TITLE:
1) Richie Rich - Dollars & Cents [Giant Size], Issue #17, Feb 1967
D) Hopefully, someone out there should easily know the answer to this question. I'm not really sure
of and I can't find who the publisher of the old Classics Illustrated 'comic books' are.
- THANKS ahead of time for any help what-so-ever with my questions above.

I will only answer one in question, the first listed. The book is called SHOWCASE issue 65, INFERIOR FIVE is not the title, but the book is about them.
Since you say you are new to comics, learn what a INDICIA is in the book. It will tell you the title of the book and other publishers information. INDICIA is the small print inside the cover or on the first page normally. Learn it, love it, and use it when you are in doubt.
Good luck, enjoy, have fun!

you need to read the titles on the comics correctly, and try using less keywords and no symbols like '&' or even 'and' and 'the' sometimes, as the search engine is screwy about that. If you have them in hand, open them and look inside for the publishing info to see the correct title. Stop looking under groups or publishers and just use the regular search box with title and issue number. https://comicspriceguide.com/comic-book-search
1) The Inferior Five: Issue #65 is actually Showcase #65 (says 'Showcase Presents' on the cover first), and it's here: https://comicspriceguide.com/collection/dc/showcase/65/vjvvi
2) The House of Secrets: Issue #83. did you try just House of Secrets without 'the'? for some weird reason the CPG search engine will not match some titles if you use 'the' and it won't match other titles if you DON'T use 'the'. yes, it makes no sense. that issue is here:
https://comicspriceguide.com/collection/dc/house-of-secrets/83/vltul
3) Worlds Finest Comics: Issue #162, Nov 1966 AND Issue #167 (it's WORLD'S with an apostrophe):
https://comicspriceguide.com/collection/dc/worlds-finest-comics/162/xjush
https://comicspriceguide.com/collection/dc/worlds-finest-comics/167/xjyxn
Walt Disney's Comics & Stories, Issue #29. use AND instead of &, or just walt disney's comics stories.
https://comicspriceguide.com/collection/dell/walt-disneys-comics-and-stories/29/poutmq
Walt Disney's Christmas Parade . the confusion is some titles use 'Disney' and not 'Disney's, and some don't come up unless you use just Christmas Parade. so here's the #5 I found under the results from just Christmas Parade, from 1966 with 'Giant Comic' on it:
https://comicspriceguide.com/collection/western-gold-keywhitman/christmas-parade-gold-key/5/phsrmt
1) Richie Rich - Dollars & Cents [Giant Size], Issue #17.
https://comicspriceguide.com/collection/harvey/richie-rich-dollars-and-cents/17/pnuvbq
as for publisher of the old Classics Illustrated 'comic books' . google is your friend:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classics_Illustrated
I'm gonna start charging for this stuff , seems to be a 'need' for it  , and I need the dough.
