Whitman Edition Comics Appraisal

Walt Disney Super Goof Comic Book #59 (Whitman Edition)

This is a vintage comic book titled 'Super Goof' issue number 59, published by Whitman Publishing for Walt Disney. The cover art features Super Goof (Goofy's superhero alter ego) lifting a yellow convertible car containing two Beagle Boy burglars. The comic displays the Whitman logo in the upper-left corner alongside the price point of 40 cents. The publication carries the serial number 90160-005. Its physical construction is typical of silver/bronze age comics, consisting of newsprint pages with a glossy paper cover. Regarding condition, the comic is housed in a protective plastic sleeve. There is a green price tag sticker applied directly to the top right of the plastic sleeve. Notable wear includes visible color breaks along the spine, rounded corners, and slight stress lines, which are common for magazines of this era. The paper shows mild yellowing due to age. This specific Whitman edition was typically distributed through multi-pack bags in department stores rather than newsstands, making it a distinct variant for collectors. The style is classic mid-century Disney animation art, dating to approximately May 1980 despite a handwritten label suggesting 1970.
