New field - Alternate Title & Alternate Issue Number

[Fred Slota]

Used to record "Legacy numbering".  Search for and sort on these new fields and you get a full list of the Legacy run.

Could also be used to provide continuous listing of those instances where titles changed but numbering was conserved.

I would not be in favor of recording legacy numbering in instances where it is not explicitly stated somewhere in the comic by the publisher.  There have been a few examples of headscratchers where a publisher did or did not count certain issues to get to the particular milestone number that they desired.

Under official control, so only allow where it is clear.

[Mark J. Castaneda]

Totally agree with Gregory on this one. Over the years, publisher ed. teams change and their approach to things as well.

I can kindof see that.  I guess most other information isn't prone to post-production changes.  It's not like they suddenly announce that the cover for #123/D wasn't done by Joe Smith but by Steve Jones.

 

Ah well, guess it can go for Custom fields or Sets for those who care...
