And do I really have to switch all my old newsstand copies to the NS record??
-
So, I just got a report that Amazing Spider-Man #193/A is no longer recognized. The cover for that issue has a line through the bar code and a diamond price and number box, indicating direct sales. Is this now #193, and the cover for that issue simply hasn't been updated yet? (I can submit my own scan, if needed.)
-
Would 1-HC still be the correct designation? (I have a third printing, 1-HC-3 and have submitted that as well.)
-
Thanks, I missed that. I was looking under the edit title window.
Is it enough to submit a correction through the program, or should I send an e-mail?
-
Cats of the Louvre by Taito Matsumoto is a manga, so it should be under comics, not books.
I couldn't figure out how to change this in ComicBase.
-
At least two lines?
When moving through a long list of characters, it is difficult to discern whether a name is already present. Especially since the list "jumps" when you move to the end of it, rather than scrolling. I find it visually confusing.
-
I have edited my record to Bk 1/HC and submitted the data and cover scan.
-
Any official word on this?
-
That sounds right to me. I'll edit my database entry if confirmed.
-
Alright, I'm going to submit it as Book 1-B with the standard ISBN as noted by Randall above.
-
My hardcover measures about 9x11", has a cover price of $30, and the only extras are the cover variants for the individual issues.
-
Yes. Light novels are just that, novels that are an easy and quick read.
-
Further information: The copyright page lists a standard ISBN and a direct market exclusive ISBN. Since I bought my copy at a comic book store, I would assume that is the direct market edition, but that is how Book 1 Hardcover is listed.

Is variation A a softcover? If so, why isn't it just Book 1?

Can you tell me what ISBNs you have for the two collected editions already in the database?
-
Yes, the comic was published in an oversized format, and so is my hardcover.
-
Can you explain what you mean by oversized? My book, and the original comic were both printed in a larger than standard comic size.
-
I just picked up the hardcover collected edition of Becky Cloonan and Tula Lotay's Somna and I'm not sure how to designate it in my CB.
The Book #1 Hardcover is the direct market edition with a different cover.
Book #1 Variation A has a similar cover, but the colors are different, and mine doesn't have the DSTLRY logo in the upper right corner. I wonder if that might be a preliminary cover in CB/AA. The book just came out and mine is a first printing. I've attached a scan of my copy below.
I cannot compare the ISBN as my CB is not up to date. But the ISBN on my book is 9781962265010.
So I need to know if I should replace the Variation A with my cover, or create a new issue. If the latter, what designation should I give it?
-
Yes, that's terrible behaviour, and I don't know why they designed it that way.
-
It's not checked now, but I'm sure it was...
I'll see what happens next time I renew.
-
I have 2024 Archive, which I just updated recently. Now you mention it I do remember that function--only problem is, it never downloaded the larger cover when I clicked on it.
My subscription only lapsed recently, but when I renew again I'll see what happens I guess...
-
I was having the same problem. (Unrecognized issue.) They must have moved it.
-
I am getting the prompts again, now.
-
My subscription ran out recently, but this was an issue even when I was current. It seems almost as if a majority of the covers in my CB are tiny (no bigger than the thumbnail.) Covers for very well-known, mainstream comics, that even if CB did only have a tiny image at one time, would have been replaced many times over by users if not HC themselves. Take a look at Amazing Spider-Man, for example. Very few covers are not tiny.
Some covers display large but are such poor resolution that they are probably meant to be tiny as well.
I feel like this is an issue that started in the last year or so, though my sense of time is not great.
-
Where is the Marvel Age Annual? That was 100% comic.
-
I wish the search could just find "words in the title" rather than the words having to be in sequence.
Advanced Find to locate all Issues you own that are either a 'base' number and/or Variation 'A' that has had a corresponding 'NS' (newsstand) variation added.

Sorry, picture upload not working. I tried.
As for any other newsstand issues I might have for sale, I'll cross those bridges when I come to them.
