Title: Walter Lantz Woody Woodpecker
Missing Issues: All
Country: USA
Publisher: Western Publishing Company, Inc. North Road, Poughkeepsie, New York 12602
Publication Years: Unknown
Cover Price: $0.25


Imprint: Whitman


Other Info: Cover shows copyright-symbol "WALTER LANTZ PRODUCTIONS, INC." with interior copyright dates of 1974, 1962, 1961 "by Walter Lantz Productions Inc." The issue I have (138) has what appears to be publishing info in the bottom left panel of the splash page: "90062-409" on the first line, "W.W # 138 - 74 7" on the second line. I take this to mean Woody Woodpecker, Issue# 138, 1974, July. There is no month listed on the cover or the interior on any page that I was able to find.

I'd also like to point out that "Western (Gold Key/Whitman)," "Whitman," and "Gold Key" are currently listed on the site as separate publishers. I'm not sure if this is deliberate or if some consolidation is in order.

not sure how you searched for it, but of course they're all listed. the title is just Woody Woodpecker, yours is listed with the 1962-1984 series, starts with #73. Whitman editions are noted in subheadings, and marked with red 'A'. #138A (whitman version like yours) is at

Thanks for the catch!

I'd searched the plain Whitman and the Whitman/Gold Key publishers. I didn't think it would be in the Gold Key because I thought it was reserved for titles that were only Gold Key. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯


This does, however, kind of make my point about the need for consolidation of the three "publishers."
