That entire title (located here on Atomic Avenue) was moved to magazines some time ago. You should update your inventory, but I'm not sure that there are any corrections that need to be submitted for that title.

I would echo all of Randall's responses. In looking at your list: • Not sure what Classic X-Men #11/A is and how it differs from Classic X-Men #11. Similar comment for X-Men (1st series) #111/A. • I'm guessing that what you have listed as Tales of the Teen Titans Anl #2 & Anl #3 are actually New Teen Titans (1st series) Anl #2 & Anl #3 • Victorian Secret: Summer Catalog: see this thread.

I found the solicitation info for this, and that indicates this is a graphic novel,

A hardcover version of the book Color of Her Panties (William Morrow) was added in this update, with the cover price listed as $213.00. That sounds like an unusual price point for a book, can you verify that is the cover price rather than the current value for that item? The comic title Bunsen Beaver and HIs Pal Tree was added. Note that "HIs" contains two capital letters. Is that how it is presented in the indicia or should that be corrected? The comic title Die Antwoord: F*ck Everyone* was added. I forget, so please remind me: is it CB policy to asterisk F-bombs that show up in comic titles? (I assume that the indicia uses the full word since that is how it is presented on the cover.) Also, does that second asterisk belong there? (It is on the cover of the 2nd printing but not on the cover of the 1st printing). The comic title Tolkien: Lighting Up the Darkness was added. Is this a comic or a book?

Yes, it should be its own title, I agree. In terms of issue number: How are the other Artist Edition books handled? Are they listed as regular issue numbers or as HC? Sometimes these books get paperback editions and so far those have all been labeled as Artisan Editions and tennis get a separate title. But if that ever changes and the tpb’s start keeping the Artist’s Edition title, it will be a little bit of a mess if the original hardcovers have already claimed the regular #1 issue under the title.

PS Artbooks has been reprinting Charlton's Strange Suspense Stories as a series of hardcovers. The database has cataloged all of them under the title Pre-Code Classics: Strange Suspense Stories. However, the indicia for this series has changed a couple of times to reflect (1) the brief period of time where Strange Suspense Stories [see also here] was actually titled This Is Suspense [see also here and here] and (2) the introduction of the Comics Code Authority seal partway through the run of the series. • The indicia for Bk #1/HC (and the corresponding DLX version) matches the indicia as presented in ComicBase. • The indicia for Bk #2/HC is actually Pre-Code Classics: This Is Suspense & Strange Suspense Stories volume 2. • The indicia for Bk #3/HC matches the indicia as presented in ComicBase (even though the cover of the book says Silver Age Classics: Strange Suspense Stories volume 3). • The indicia (and the covers) for Bk #4/HC and all following issues (including their corresponding DLX versions) is actually Silver Age Classics: Strange Suspense Stories volume 4 (and up). I don't know how you want to handle this, there are pros and cons no matter what you do. It is also worth noting that the series began in 2016, so some of these issues have been in the database for some time. One possibility is to keep everything where it is but to make use of the "Item Title" field. Thoughts?

There have been recent discussions about standardizing creator names in such a way that all of a particular creators' works are returned from a search of the database but also somehow indicating when a pseudonym has been used. I am guessing that nicknames won't be included (Smilin' Stan Lee would be just Stan Lee and Jack "King" Kirby would be just Jack Kirby)... but that is just a guess on my part.

The database contains the title Avatrex. Based on the cover and the indicia, this is a misspelling of Avatarex. In fact, the issue listed under the misspelled title is a duplication of Avatarex (Grant Morrison's...) issue FCBD #2016. The title Avatrex should be deleted.

OK, these have been submitted. I only have the "marble" version, so somebody else will need to submit the UPC and cover scan for #1/B (otherwise #1/C and #1/B should be identical).

Yes, that's what I was thinking.

This week's update added the book title Titillating Tales of Dolly, The! The placement of the exclamation point after "The" looks odd, it ideally belongs with the word "Dolly". What is the editorial policy on how to handle this sort of thing? The situation from last week regarding the book title Adventurous Decade, The: Comics in the Thirties seems to have been sorted out. The old comic title of the same name still needs to be deleted, however. (I also suggest moving the cover scan from the comic title to the book title.) The new comic title Jim Henson's Labyrinth: Goodnight, Goblin King was added. Should that be cataloged as Labyrinth (Jim Henson's...): Goodnight, Goblin King or as Labyrinth: Goodnight, Goblin King (Jim Henson's...) ? (Also a reminder to @Mark J. Castaneda that we're still waiting on feedback from last week regarding Marion Zimmer Bradley's Darkover books.)

So #1-B for the silver and black (with notations) and #1-C (again, with notations) for the DM marble variant?

Any updates on this?

This week's update added the book title Adventurous Decade: Comic Strips In The Thirties, The. The actual title for this book is Adventurous Decade, The: Comic Strips In The Thirties which, as it turns out, is already in the database. The new title (the one with the "The" at the very end) should be deleted. New book titles that were added include Marion Zimmer Bradley’s Darkover (DAW) and Marion Zimmer Bradley’s Darkover (Marion Zimmer Bradley Literary Works Trust). Should those have been indexed as Darkover (Marion Zimmer Bradley's…) (DAW) and Darkover (Marion Zimmer Bradley's…) (Marion Zimmer Bradley Literary Works Trust) ? The new comic title Kernel' Corn Trains a Champ looks like it has a stray punctuation mark in it. Also, the title appears on Atomic Avenue search results (the dropdown list of suggestions when you type Kernel into the search box) but brings up an error if you try to click through to the title page. Time 2: The Satisfaction of Black Mariah was added back into the database. As described over in this thread last spring, this is an incorrect duplication of a long-existing entry.

This title was added back into the database this week. 😡 A reminder that it is a duplicate of First Graphic Novel Book #12 which has been listed in the database for a very long time (since the Earth was cooling). I suggest a friendly note to the submittor so that they know what's up with this.

Bleeding Cool reports that the deal between Heavy Metal and WhatNot/Massive has collapsed. Consequently, the relaunch of Heavy Metal [listed in the database as Heavy Metal (3rd series) ] won't be happening and orders for the solicited issues will be cancelled. That means Heavy Metal (3rd series) should be removed from the database. Note also that the Bleeding Cool article contains a link to two additional variants for what is listed in ComicBase as Heavy Metal (2nd series) #320. So those variants should be added to the database.

Word on the street is that Marvel has canceled orders for Spider-Man Brand New Day Omnibus. Don't know anything about plans to resolicit in the future. For now, at any rate, the existing title should be deleted from the database.

This week's update added the comic book title Opps! All Babes. Based on the cover scans, it looks like that should really be Oops! All Babes.

This week's content update added the book title 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea. I suggest changing this title to 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea (Bantam) because the book has been in the public domain for some time. There are likely to be numerous publishers who have printed editions of this book over the years, and because of that context it isn't clear to me why this particular version shouldn't have publisher identifier in the title. The book title Superman: Last Son of Krypton was also added. There is a comic book title in the database with the same title (presumably a holdover from before the creation of the different media types in the database). The comic book title should be deleted. The book title Scorpion was added. There is a pre-existing comic book title in the database with the same name. Is this a problem? (These items appear to be entirely different items, so this isn't the same problem as the Superman: Last Son of Krypton title that I describe above.) (The same kind of problem came up with the 06/28 content update, too.)

My database is showing the publication frequency for the Bleeding Cool magazine as "Daily". While the website publishes on a daily basis, it looks like the magazine was published somewhat irregularly but on a roughly bimonthly basis.

If you mean "no" to Patrick's minimum print run question, I'd say that you are probably right as long as the item has multiple copies. I suspect that the single copy comics that I wrote and drew as a pre-teenager that exist only as single, original copies wouldn't qualify... but something that was actually produced as multiple copies is probably fair game, even if the "print run" was low. So I would say "yes" to Patrick's question about sending them in from his database.

@Mark J. Castaneda Thoughts on what I proposed in the OP for this thread?

This week's content update added the following Book title: NIght Broken (Orbit). That should corrected to Night Broken (Oribit) [note change in capitalization] Also added was the Book title Invisible Man, The. There is also a comic title with the same name. Is this a problem? The Comic title Jack Kirby’s Starr Warriors: The Adventures of Adam Starr and the Solar Legion was added. Should this really be Starr Warriors: The Adventures of Adam Starr and the Solar Legion (Jack Kirby's...) or Starr Warriors (Jack Kirby's...): The Adventures of Adam Starr and the Solar Legion ? New titles Strange Places Presents No Man’s Land and Strange Places Presents: Resident Alien were added to the Comic category. One of these has a colon in the title, the other does not. Are both of these titles correctly punctuated?

Keep an eye on Infinite Crisis #3 as well. That is apparently the very first appearance of Jaime Reyes (Infinite Crisis #5 is his first appearance in costume).

There is a long-running (if sporadically active) thread on this very topic over at the Collectededitions.com/Marvel Masterworks fansite message boards.
