Absolute Swamp Thing - rename?

[Larry Robertson]

I think Absolute Swamp Thing will need to be renamed to "Absolute Swamp Thing by Alan Moore" now that we have an Absolute Swamp Thing by Bernie Wrightson which collects much of the first series. So it wouldn't make sense to leave the Alan Moore ones with the original name when the Bernie Wrightson issues are the original series. BTW the Bernie Wrightson Absolute doesn't seem to be in the database yet.

Does the indicia for the Alan Moore edition include "by Alan Moore" in the title?  Or does it just say "Absolute Swamp Thing"?

I don't have the Wrightson yet but I am betting it says "Absolute Swamp Thing by Len Wein and Bernie Wrightson"...at least that's what the solicits say

Looks like the Alan Moore absolute got a re-name in the 12/28/2022 content update.

Thanks!  They do still need to add the Absolute Swamp Thing by Len Wein & Bernie Wrightson

The HC offices generally don't get collected editions, especially not the über-expensive ones... so sometimes those items don't get added into the database until a user submits it.  So if you get yours before it shows up in the database, go ahead and submit!

you got a full barcode for this book we can cross reference with? It'll help us index it into the database.

UPC numbers sometimes change between info that is initially sent to retailers and the printing of the actual book.  Since we don't know when TFAW (or any other retailer) enters those UPC's into their system, it might save the CB folks some work if folks send actual UPC info from the printed book.

OK  -I will submit that info and everything else once I get mine if it hasn't made it in by then
