Mark can correct me if Human Computing feels differently, but that kind of information is not normally tracked in the database. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred Slota Posted January 24 Author Share Posted January 24 What about referring to them as being part of the DC Black Label, what is it, sub-imprint? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregory Hecht Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 I don't know for sure if HC still expects imprints to be tracked in the same way that they used to track (for example) Vertigo titles under a separate publisher designation than the rest of DC's output. It looks like all of the Black Label titles have DC listed as their publisher, and a quick spot check of a couple of titles did not show any of them even mentioning "Black Label" in their entries. Again, @Mark J. Castaneda should be able to provide a clear answer on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark J. Castaneda Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 We don't have a designation for Black Label releases. You're more than welcome to use the notes field and state 'Black Label' if you wish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred Slota Posted January 25 Author Share Posted January 25 Is this passively agreeing that ComicBase will accept this, or are you just teasing me with frustration and disappointment as I attempt to submit this modification in the notes field and wait to see it officially reflected? 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark J. Castaneda Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 I'll notify the Ed. Team to take them if submissions come in with that notation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan DeCamp Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 Black Label books come in both magazine and comic sizes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred Slota Posted February 12 Author Share Posted February 12 So, newer issues were added to several of the DC Black Lael titles without this identification in the Notes Field. Rather than updating those issues, I have realized that this is actually the wrong way to go about this. This is breaking one of my database guidelines of minimizing repetition. DC Black Label isn't something that varies variant to variant or issue to issue, it's something that varies title by title, and as such should really be noted in the Title Description. I'm going to go back and remove my previously entered I.[Notes] entries and would like to request a statement of "DC Black Label" be placed in the Title Descriptions for the following titles American Vampire 1976 Batman Day Batman:White Knight Special Batman vs. Bigby! A Wolf in Gotham Batman/Catwoman Batman: Damned Batman: Last Knight on Earth Batman: One Dark Knight Batman: Reptilian Batman: The Imposter Batman: The Smile Killer Batman: Three Jokers Birds of Prey (5th Series) Catwoman: Lonely City Dark Knight Returns: The Golden Child Harleen Harley Quinn and the Birds of Prey (2nd Series) Hellblazer: Rise and Fall Human Target (4th Series) Joker (2nd Series) Joker/Harley: Criminal Sanity Joker/Harley: Criminal Sanity - Secret Files Joker: Killer Smile Last God, The Last God, The: Songs of Lost Children Last God, The: Tales from the Book of Ages Nice House on the Lake, The Other History of the DC Universe, The Peacemaker: Disturbing the Peace Question, The: The Deaths of Vic Sage Rogues (DC) Rorschach Strange Adventures Suicide Squad: Blaze Suicide Squad: Get Joker! Superman vs. Lobo Superman: Year One Swamp Thing: Green Hell Sweet Tooth: The Return Wonder Woman Historia: The Amazons Wonder Woman: Dead Earth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven L. Dasinger Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 If you make the change to the Title description before you submit a correction for an issue in that Title, the information is sent to HC. Whether or not they keep/approve it is another matter. I would test a couple first to see what happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred Slota Posted February 12 Author Share Posted February 12 The pinned topic in this section of the forum left it unclear whether modifications to Title Description were submitted or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
