I have a couple of these from when I was a kid, but I can't find them on this site. Are they here? They are large, They are 10x13", 50-page books.
This is what the cover looks like:

It's here
https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/marvel-comics-super-special-a/rjpx
Whenever you are in doubt about a comic look inside and find the indicia. That will tell you the real name of the comic and the name we use.
Secondly change the type to "all types" when you are searching.

What do you mean by 'indicia'? Is that the paragraph of 'legal' information at the beginning of a comic? It's only referred to in this book as 'A Marvel Super Special,' though I see your reference has it listed under Marvel Comics Super Special. I was searching only by the text that is specified in the trademark/copyright information, though this magazine didn't come up when I did so.

the link to yours, which is the 8C edition, is here: https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/marvel-comics-super-special-a/8C/pmqvix
yes, the indicia is the publishing info inside the first page. Part of the confusion in the titles is that #1-4 were called Marvel Comics Super Special, then #5-on were just Marvel Super Special, which is noted under issue #5. Both series come up when you search Marvel Super Special, so when you see the first one is only a one-shot, you go to the second one. And you've seen that the subject of the story is not included in the title, as the title is just Marvel Comics Super Special. This goes for many treasury and other specials, so try searching for just the beginning of the title when you can't find it by character/team/show name.
according to comics/org, #8 and 8C are both 'tabloid'/treasury size, so those maybe should be cross referenced for the Treasury Size type in the Comic Type list too. https://www.comics.org/issue/31796/
