Heroes, Heavies, & Heroines


Recommended Posts

The database contains two entries for the Heroes, Heavies, & Heroines portfolio. 

One of these listings is under the Comic Book media category, and that title should be deleted because this is a portfolio rather than a comic book.  

The title listed under the Book category should be retained, but some changes are necessary.  Right now it is listed as #0 with a TPB binding.  The binding type should be changed to LL (loose leaf).  I assume that the number can be dropped since most books aren't listed with the number "0" when they are not part of a series (and, as far as I know, this item was not part of a series).

Small clarification (mostly for anyone reading this for future reference).
When a Title changes Media Type from Comic Books to Books (and probably Magazines to Books) a 'Feature/Bug' of CB is that the Item # is retained and a Binding Type is NOT set.
However, if you edit the issues (or issues) and Save (even if no changes are made), the Binding default TPB (paperback) is used.
PS Not sure the Binding type can be accurately set automatically on the move since there is no really way to determine the Binding type.

But out of curiosity, I checked other Books without Binding and found:

These should all have Binding of: TPB
Andrei Bressan Sketchbook    1
Art of Ichikawa, The    1
Art of Steve Rude, The    1
Avatar Coloring Book    1
Big School of Drawing Manga, Comics & Fantasy    1
Black Beauty (Eyewitness Classics)    1-4
(This is a guess of TPB based on a cover price of 5.00)

DC Super-Villains Mad Libs    1
Essential Anime Guide, The    1
Extraordinary Ordinary Day, An: Art of 526    1
How to Draw Manga with Batman, Superman, and Other DC Super Heroes and Villains!    1
I Am Gandhi    1
Jujutsu Kaisen: The Official Character Guide    1
Long Season: The Art of Josee Shimazaki    1
Moshi Moshi: A Travelogue: A Colorful Journey of Japan through Culture, Food, Fashion, and More    1
New Essential Guide to Hong Kong Movies    1
(Title should be 'New Essential Guide to Hong Kong Movies, The')

Satanic Screen, The    1
Science of Superwomen, The    1
Spidey and His Amazing Friends: Teamwork Saves the Day    1
Street Fighter: Ultimate Art Portfolio    1
Sugary Girls: The Art of Eku Uekura    1


These should all have Binding of: HC
Alpengluhn    1

Drawing Words, Writing Pictures: Making Comics From Manga to Graphic Novels    1-2
(Based on the Price, this is a HC.)

Marvel Art of David Nakayama, The    1/A
(This and HC 1 should probably be HC/A and HC/B.
Also The Clover Press website list these options:
Standard Edition
Dustjacket Edition
Slipcase Edition
Slipcase Signed Edition)

Mastering Comics    1-2

And these need more work than just changing Binding:

Collecting the Simpsons    1

CB has titles
Collecting the Simpsons
Collecting the Simpsons: The Merchandise and Legacy of Our Favorite Nuclear Family
I am not sure of the correct title.

As for the Binding Type, I can only find a HC version listed on the Mango Publishing website but the information on the inside, indicates both a HC ISBN and a TPB ISBN:
(hc) 978-1-68481-053-6    Cover Price 44.99
(pb) 978-1-68481-320-9
With a Cover Price of 29.99 in CB, it is possible, that is a TPB version but that is a guess.

Companions of Doctor Who, The    1
The Binding should be TPB
Also, the Publisher of 'Fayetteville' is incorrect. It should be 'Fayetteville Mafia' (Press).

Demoniacs: The Revelationary War    1
The Binding is TPB
Also, The Title should be 'Demoniacs' with an Overall Book title of either, 'Revelationary War' or 'The Revelationary War'.


Illuminations Stories    1
CB has Titles
Illuminations Stories
Illuminations: Stories by Alan Moore
These are the same Title (different Bindings). One has publisher 'Bloomsbury' and the other 'Bloomsbury UK'. While there were UK published books, based on the UPC, these are both the US version and should be combined. The '30.00' cover price is HC and the '19.99' cover price is a TPB.
I believe the Title should just be 'Illuminations' (or 'Illuminations (Bloomsbury)' ) but you can look inside on Amazon and decide what the title should be.

Lowbrow Art of Robt. Williams, The    1-2
Not sure if this is a 2nd printing of HC or TPB but it is probably a HC 2nd printing based on Price (at a guess).
Also 1-2 and HC 1 should probably NOT be part of a Numbered series.

Grow Up, Ant-Man    1/HC
This is in both Books and Comic Books. There is a single page illustration with a sentence of text per page.
Not sure where it belongs (Comic Books?). You can see inside at Amazon.
If it IS left in Books, Binding is HC.

Star Trek: Picard—Firewall    1/HC
This is a set of (so far) 6 non-numbered book.
CB has
Star Trek: Picard—Firewall
Star Trek: Picard—No Man’s Land
Star Trek: Picard: Rogue Elements
Star Trek: Picard: Second Self
At the least the Item # should be just HC (as it is not a numbered series)
All the Titles follow the same convention
Star Trek
Picard
title name
So, when entered into CB they should be either
Star Trek: Picard: Firewall
Star Trek: Picard: No Man’s Land
Star Trek: Picard: Rogue Elements
Star Trek: Picard: Second Self
or
Star Trek: Picard—Firewall
Star Trek: Picard—No Man’s Land
Star Trek: Picard—Rogue Elements
Star Trek: Picard—Second Self
(A case could be made of removing 'Star Trek: Picard' out of the title and putting it in
Overall Title but that could be argued either way).
So, again, at the least change Star Trek: Picard—Firewall to just HC and possibly replacing the '—' or ':' to make them all the same.
