#1 and #2, copyright 1977. They have 'Marvel Special Edition' wrtten in blue across the top, originally cost $1, and they have "Whitman" inside of a 'W' logo written over the price.
The books are large, in color, and in pretty good condition.
I am having trouble finding these oversized editions on the internet to figure out how much they are worth.

They're in near mint condition. The paper is showing its age inside, but the colors are good, the spines are good, and the corners in good shape (but not perfect).

On www.comicspriceguide.com, the two issues are listed at $15 for #1 and $12 for #2. Oversized comics are called "Treasury Editions." The two "Whitman" editions that you have are the more common editions and are worth a little less than the non-Whitman covers. Both cover types were released simultaneously, but the Whitmans were distributed to a lot more stores making them less rare.
If they are in near mint condition like you say, then you may be able to get a little bit (possibly even a lot) more than what they are worth off of Ebay since Near Mint items go for much more especially for comics from the 1970s and earlier because they are a lot harder to find in that condition.
Here is a link to the comicspriceguide page for those comics in case you want to verify the covers and what not:

I also have The same addition except for #1 it is not W! I won #1 in 77 in school and bought the other at Toys R Us. I wrapped them in plastic and placed them on a shelf. THEY ARE BOTH MINT. Never read, edges perfect! Thx for the advise, if you know personally of anyone respond to this. If their value is still low I'll put them back on the shelf in plastic and check in 10 more years! Gotta say, it's nice to see them still looking brand new, took me back in time!

You really ought to take them to a comics shop where the proprietor is knowledgeable and get an estimate that way. Even if you send pictures on line it is difficult to judge the value of collectibles, so I have always found it best to go to a reputable dealer. Good luck!

I think these would be worth a lot if they are in mint condition. I would take it to a comic book store and see if anyone knows there.

It depends on the condition. You should be able to google for collectors that can give you an approximate value
