Gregory Hecht Posted November 14, 2021 Share Posted November 14, 2021 I posted about this topic over a week ago, but the post got lost when these message boards got rebooted after The Great Server Crash of 2021... so I'm going to try again. The database lists an older Origin of the Hobgoblin trade paperback from 1992 as The Amazing Spider-Man Book #9. The contents of that book are as follows: Amazing Spider-Man #238-239, 244-245, and 249-251 and Spectacular Spider-Man #85. Normally CB lists tpb's and hc's as their own separate title if they collect issues from more than one title. In this case, there is only a single issue from a different title, so it ordinarily it probably wouldn't be worth it to move this particular book. There is a second edition of the Origin of the Hobgoblin tpb from 2011 that complicates things, however. The book isn't a second print, it contains additional issues that the first version did not: Amazing Spider-Man #238-239, 244-245 and 249-251 and Spectacular Spider-Man #43, 47-48 and 85 (issues not included in the first version are in bold red type). I cannot find the second edition in the database; is it in there and I am missing it? If it is not in there, how should it be entered into the database? Amazing Spider-Man Book #9 (2nd print) isn't appropriate, but listing the 2011 book under the title Origin of the Hobgoblin may lead to some confusion if the 1992 book isn't also under that title. Thoughts on how to approach this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark J. Castaneda Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 I'd spin this into its own title since it has additional issues from the Spect. Spidey title. *I'm willing to bet another printing of this with possibly more or less issues collected could come out in the future if Hobby makes his movie debut.

Gregory Hecht Posted January 7, 2022 Author Share Posted January 7, 2022 Just to clarify: is that "spin both versions of the book into their own title" or just "spin the 2011 book into its own title"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark J. Castaneda Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 just the 2011 version Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregory Hecht Posted March 25, 2022 Author Share Posted March 25, 2022 Jeez, this fell off my radar screen for way too long. Just submitted it this evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
