@Gregory Hecht The only way I could add my versions of Books 4-7 and have the proper cover scans, UPC, and ISBN was to create "A" variants. If I tried to update current entries, then my cover scans were overwritten by the system with other ones. Hopefully, you'll see my data and be able to sort it all out.

I didn't realize that Marvel decided to continue the trade numbers over the original and 2nd series. I assumed they started the numbers over again.
What I listed as #1 is issues 1-6 for the 2nd series, #2 is issues 7-13, #3 is issues 13-18, #4 is 19-24.
I don't think I deleted any entries, just added the above so I should be able to adjust and upload the cover images.

Above books/trade compilations need some serious cleanup. I had to add trades 1-3 and it took me four tries to correct the photo for trade 4 (kept replacing it with the wrong image). There also seem to be trades linked to other Runaway series included in this one. Thanks.

Comics.org suggests that this is normal for the print run: "Cardstock variant cover over base issue cover."
Thanks! When I tried a Google search and then looked at online retailers and eBay, I didn't see any clues. I'll try to bookmark the site you mentioned.

Maybe the source you bought the issue from may have some information for the double-cover.
I preordered it via DCBS so I was going off of the DC Connect description when it was solicited 4 (?) months ago.

I noticed my copy of this variant is a "double cover": the Cardstock variant by Steve Epting is stapled over the regular Cover A by Gavin Guidry and Jordie Bellaire. Can anyone confirm if this is normal for the print run or if it's unique? If it's unique, any suggestions on how I should enter it? Thanks!

Comic adaptations of movies that begin with an article still get the article moved to the end. For example, Marvel's adaptation of The Deep is listed in the database as "Deep, The". By that same convention, El Dorado should be listed as "Dorado, El".
Respectfully disagree. El Dorado is a PLACE NAME. So you're telling me that by this convention, a comic book names after the city of Los Angeles, would be listed under "Angeles, Los"? See attached screen shot when I searched for "El Dorado" on IMDB. Notice they're not moving "El" to the end.
-
Is there a reason why "El Dorado" is listed as "Dorado, El" in the database? The comic is referencing both a movie and a place-name, El Dorado. Wouldn't this be an exception to the rule of putting definite articles at the end of a title? The only way I could pull it up was by looking for the publisher. Thanks!

Thank you, Mark! I've made the entry and submitted it for review.

Hello! I noticed there's already an entry for Devil in the Lake, but the only ones listed are issue #1 variants from various conventions. What about the Kickstarter version, which is a combination of issues #1 & 2 and has its own listing of variants A - H? Does it get its own entry or would it be under the one that's already there. Attached is a photo of Cover A for this version.
Thank you!

Little Red Wolf was reprinted by Oni Press this year as a softcover edition. I added it to the entry with the Hardback version and designated the softcover as "Bk 1" and submitted for review. Just realized that the Hardcover was actually under the Lion Forge imprint of Oni. I updated the publisher tonight for the soft cover as well as publication year. Will that help get it recognized?

If it's not already too late, I'd really love to standardize on <first name> <last name> and put any nicknames in the item description (if appropriate), but I defer to the editors' decisions.
When you say <first name> do you mean a person's given name? And <last name> do you mean their family name? But what about those creators who have their family name first? In some countries, that's how it's done vs the family name last.

Dealing with names is something that is being worked on. With the recent addition of a full unicode(?) alphabet, so ability to use many foreign alphabets, diacriticals, etc, they've been working on standardizing spelling, accenting and various other multiple naming. I'm not sure if the final form is to have a in-program list of aliases backing up a single, definitive form of a name, or if that is something to be cleaned up in the mothership's editorial.
Feedback is a good thing. Ideas is a good thing.
Another example that comes to mind is Dennis Hopeless. He decided to use Dennis Hallum for Sea of Stars, a creator-owned series at Image. In the CB Writers Search, he comes up as Dennis Hopeless (599 entries), Dennis "Hopeless" Hallum (86 entries of which Sea of Stars shows up), and Dennis Hallum (19 entries). I think this is also a good example of needing to merge a creator's lists together. And the suggestion above is a good one to list aliases for a creator so that no matter how one searches, you find everything by that creator.
Related to this, I'm glad there's been a cleanup of names to make sure they're correct. That's been one of my frustrations trying to find someone's full list when there's misspellings, etc.

I just found a Uncanny X-men #129 with 12p on the cover where I can see the indicia.
Comparing this to the US version, the indicia is identical indicating to me that the insides were printed at the same time but different covers were attached depending on where they would be sold.
So, yes, it should belong in the UK Edition title.
Thanks for researching this! This will help me better electronically catalog what I own. Physically, however, they'll all live together in numerical order because that seems a superficial difference. If there were content or advert differences, that would be a different story.

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.
That's cool if the corrections are declined. Since I have so few magazines, I deselected updates for that category to save time. I'll remember to select it on my next update.

No. This would go in title Uncanny X-Men (UK Edition) as issue 111 (which CB doesn't appear to have).
Follow up question: was it common for a UK edition to change the cover and keep the rest of the comic the same? Because the indicia talks about US and Canadian price, not UK.
-
Steven: Ok. If I trip across any others with British currency as I review them, I'll see if there's a UK Edition series and migrate.

Victorian Secret: Girls of Steampunk Summer Catalog July 2011 #1 is also all pinups. i can move that to Magazines and then submit. Victorian Secret: Girls of Steampunk - Masquerade (20112, #1) has a comic book story called "Viva La Venice" by Rod Espinosa and the rest are Pin-ups by Will Terrell and Rod Espinosa.

Mark: thanks for the confirmation. I'll review my unrecognized list and any MJ variants, I'll submit.

Gregory: Tales of the Teen Titans Annual #2 and #3 see attached photos. Looks like I goofed and put the annual for the 2nd series with the 1st series. You're also right about the #3 annual. Either that or someone else made an error around the time I tried to do my entries.
-
Thank you all for your help!
Randall: the unrecognized issue of Mysterious Strangers is actually the FCBD issue, not regular issue #1. I see that they have an "official" entry now so I switched that over.
Gregory: Classic X-Men #11: My copy has a barcode, no MJ insert. I'll just migrate that over and make a note about the bar code. X-Men (1st series): cover says 12p, not 35 cents. So is that enough to be considered a variant?
-
To finish my thought, the main entry for the MJ items could either be with a barcode and no mention of the insert OR it is a DM version without the barcode. An example of an issue with the MJ insert is Uncanny X-Men #144. DB entry shows barcode but no notes about having this insert. I've attached my most recent log list, if that helps. Do I try to merge my duplicate entry with the main one or just live with the situation I have now? I'm wondering if my duplicate entries have value increases/decreases over time or not because they're unrecognized. ComicBase Database.cbdb Unknown Items 23-Aug-2023 09-26.htm

Need some guidance on what I should do with my Unrecognized Mark Jewelers and Direct Market versions. Over the past couple of months, I've started reviewing the Unrecognized Titles and Comics log after my weekly updates. After cleaning up a lot of the list, there's still two dozen or more issues that I originally logged as either an MJ (Mark Jewelers insert) or DM (Direct Market). For the DM items, I uploaded a copy of my cover because it didn't have the bar code. For the MJ items (Newstand?), the opposite is true:" the main entry in the DB

Thanks, Steven! It downloaded properly once I deleted that specific .ccx file.
Antarctica (Image) 9-B cover incorrect
in Content and Corrections
Posted
Would someone please swap the current 9-B cover for this attachment? The one that's in the file is an Astro City comic. And once again, every time I try to do it on my end, the system deletes it and puts the wrong one back before I can submit corrections! Thank you for the assist.
