Tomb of Dracula (Magazine)

[Alan DeCamp]

As per the title, this series needs to be moved to the "Magazine" designation and out of "Comic Book".

I just submitted the change, but left "Magazine" in the title in case it needs to be changed back if you disagree with me.

No, the contents are substantially comics so it should remain in the Comic category. 
 

The title has been in the database for decades, and was named at a time that the term “magazine” in ComicBase referred to a physical format rather than an item’s contents. Based on CB’s *current* use of the term Magazine, this title firmly belongs in the Comic category in spite of its long-standing title in the database.

Thank you, Gregory.  I was checking my copies and verifying what you have stated.

Well, the Boss (Pete) said that it is a comic.

Discussion of placement is now ended.

However, shouldn’t “magazine” be removed from the title and be listed as another volume instead?

😁

The only problem with that would be telling it apart from Tomb of Dracula the comic book. Marvel published the magazine because it wasn't under the Comics Code. They did the same with Conan but those had different titles.

Not only that but there is already a Tomb of Dracula Vol. 2 series in the database for a series published in the 2000’s. 
 

To say nothing of the fact that changing the long-standing Tomb of Dracula (Magazine) title means that everybody will need to move their inventory. I just don’t see how the existing title name is so problematic that it warrants that kind of hassle.
