Doinggg! I re-checked my registrations and discovered that I had not downloaded the 2026 edition like I thought I did several weeks ago. Gee whiz, but that simple act seems to have brought my database to the current version - now running v26.0.4.2169. Thanks!

I'm stuck at v25.7.1.4630.

Just curious; these were popping up every couple of days for a while, but now it's been a month or more without one. I still have the "check for interim updates" box checked in my preferences. I checked with Peter, Paul and Mary, but they weren't any help! r/Mike

I finally found this issue by searching w/ the bar code. It doesn't belong under the "Detective Comics" title. There are lots of titles that contain reprints from other titles, and these are listed under their own titles (e.g., DC's Four Star Spectacular). This particular book has neither "Detective" nor "Comics" in its title. It's title - Batman Year Two - is already in the database. I believe this book should be located under that title. r/Mike

After failing to find this title in the database, I continued searching and eventually discovered it as "Dunc and Loo." Why? Is it because the Overstreet Price Guide decided to list it that way despite the title so prominently displayed across the top of the cover and in the indicia? This seems like an easy error to fix. The book lasted only eight issues and was already halfway through its run when Dell shortened the title to just Dunc and Loo. Given the limited run of this series and its negligible influence in the comic book universe, I recommend it's an appropriate fix to correct the title in the database. r/Mike

I've been encountering this problem (missing covers) for about two weeks now; in every instance I've found a title folder in the pictures folder with the missing covers. The name of this folder is nearly identical to the original folder that is missing those covers. In several instances there is punctuation in the title, sometimes added punctuation and sometimes what appears to be the same but isn't, e.g., the curved apostrophe instead of the straight 'tick' mark and the single character ellipsis (…) instead of the three consecutive periods that Steve described above. -Mike

I ran into this last week (early April) with several titles, mostly old, long-running DC titles. I found files in the picture folders with the covers I was missing - under folders with a near duplicate name of the title missing those pictures. This first occurred after the first time I selected the option to match titles in my collection to the "correct" version of that title. There seems to be some connection between the two. -Mike

Thanks again for the help here, Steve. Since it contains full reprints of 32 stories, I would vote for Comic Books as the appropriate media type. Also, Bonanza Books is the identified publisher, so that seems to be the one CB should use.

This doesn't appear to be in the database, I found only a 2003 Fantagraphics edition. I think this earlier edition, despite the same title, should be its own entry. Thoughts? Advice?

I thought I used the new drag-and-drop process correctly, though it wasn't successful. I just now tried it again - 30-40 minutes after my initial attempt, and this time it worked. Thanks for the help, Steve! r/Mike

BTW, the correct title of this book is "The Great Women Superheroes" not "... Super Heroes"

I changed the media type for this item from comic book to book based on its content - mostly text with snippets of various comic books scattered throughout to accompany the text. However, I can't seem to get the cover to display. I set Binding Type = Hardcover, Edition = Regular Edition, and unchecked "part of a numbered series" since it was a one-shot publication. Help correcting whatever mistake(s) I've made would be appreciated. r/Mike

Ditto - seems to have fixed the problem. Thanks!

Could the obscenity charges and subsequent litigation that took place possibly explain why the magazine isn't in the database?

Looks like b2847 did the trick 100% successfully. Thanks for the fast update and the info about it!
