Description NEW GIANT ADVENTURES OF RUDOLPH THE RED-NOSED REINDEER (C-20)!!!   OTHER SELLERS ARE OFFERING RUDOLPH C-20 AT $200.00! WHY PAY MORE????   JUST IN TIME FOR CHRISTMAS!!! DON’T MISS THIS OPPORTUNITY TO ADD THESE VERY RARE AND VALUABLE COMICS TO YOUR COLLECTION!!!!!    PLUS BONUS COMIC: RUDOLPH THE RED-NOSED REINDEER SUMMER FUN (C-60)!!!   Rudolph C-20 is arguably one of the most sought after comics in the world. Essentially, it is the Prototype for ALL of the Giant Sized comics to come, making this scarce comic very difficult to find. In over 10 years I have seen less than a handful of (C-20) Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer offered, and sadly, they were not in very good condition. Recent issues have sold on eBay for as much as $250.00, and other eBay sellers are currently offering this one comic for $200.00 and more! The treasury editions made their debut on October 24, 1972 when DC released RUDOLPH, THE RED-NOSED REINDEER. It was a visually striking package and the durability of the covers was undoubtedly a selling point to parents more accustomed to buying Little Golden Books than comics. The Limited Collectors' Editions would also allow DC access to various chain stores and smaller retailers that didn't normally carry periodicals. Robust sales with RUDOLPH convinced DC to launch an ongoing series of tabloids under the LIMITED COLLECTORS' EDITION title. They later published Rudolph's Summer Fun (C-60). DC's second newsstand tabloid, a collection of Marvel Family-related stories, was inexplicably numbered C-21. RUDOLPH, which hadn't been numbered at all, was retroactively declared to have been C-20. Complicating matters further was FAMOUS FIRST EDITION, a series of replica editions of historic comics that used the same numbering as LCE. With the fourth issue, the series acquired its own numbering code but counted the three issues that had gone befo DC had hopes of eventually publishing new material in the tabloids but their only ongoing success in that area was a series of Rudolph collections (#s 33, 42, 50, 53, 60) and a volume devoted to the Bible (# 36). The Overstreet Price Guide lists the original Rudolph tabloid unofficially as Limited Collectors' Edition #C-20, though it was not numbered or labeled as such.
