<description><![CDATA[Yes, they are Whitmans, likely distributed in polybags. Blank UPC boxes and the diamond price box are standard Whitman signs of that era. comics.org also calls them Whitmans: <a href="https://www.comics.org/issue/930737/cover/4/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://www.comics.org/issue/930737/cover/4/</a><br/><br/>these have been noted as Whitmans by everyone forever now. If you look under Whitman as a publisher you'll find tons of titles just like this from other publishers that whitman reprinted or distributed under their logo, especially Gold Key titles. So CPG lists them as Whitmans/Alternate Publishers depending on which way you find them. Fact of life here.<br/><i>edited by collectibleshop on 4/6/2021</i>]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[I see that, for example, these Marvel direct editions of Shogun Warriors #1 and #2 are listed as published by Whitman:<br/><br/><a href="https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/shogun-warriors/pkwwor" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/shogun-warriors/pkwwor</a><br/><br/>Whitman had nothing to do with publishing these books. No mention of Whitman in any of the indicia. Whitman sold/distributed some Marvel direct editions in Whitman polybags, but they're Marvel-published books, first printing direct editions that were also found outside of the Whitman bags.<br/><br/>I know how to report a missing variant, but not sure how to report an incorrectly listed series. Not a huge deal, but it can be annoying trying to sell early Marvel direct editions to collectors who are under the impression that anything with a diamond box is a Whitman reprint.<br/><br/>A hill I'm prepared to be injured on.]]></description>
