Adam Sternberg Posted November 17, 2024 Posted November 17, 2024 After last week's update, it was reported that Batman Day Special Edition was an obsolete title. However, I can't find where the issue (2017) went to. The UPC number is 76194135344900111. A generic online search came up as Batman Day Special Edition 2017, so that's no help. Any ideas? Thanks.
Gregory Hecht Posted November 17, 2024 Posted November 17, 2024 Wasn’t that a reprint issue? If so, what issue did it reprint? My guess is that it is probably listed as a variant of the original issue. EDITED TO ADD: Is this it?
Steven L. Dasinger Posted November 18, 2024 Posted November 18, 2024 I think this is the one Adam is referring to. https://www.previewsworld.com/Catalog/JUN178390 which appears to be a reprint of 'Batman (3rd Series) #16. This variation isn't in CB.
Mark J. Castaneda Posted November 18, 2024 Posted November 18, 2024 yes, curious if this is a reprint of something that already came out.
Mark J. Castaneda Posted November 18, 2024 Posted November 18, 2024 I think this a reprint of Batman (3rd Series) #16 BUT is it a full reprint? Can anyone confirm?
Adam Sternberg Posted November 19, 2024 Author Posted November 19, 2024 I'd have to dig to find it, but the curious thing is that it WAS in the database under the old title. Seems it may have just been removed rather than corrected as a reprint.
Adam Sternberg Posted November 19, 2024 Author Posted November 19, 2024 I didn't (yet) dig it out, but did look it up on GCD. The issue in question is https://www.comics.org/issue/1739387/ (still named Batman Day Special Edition). It's called out there as a reprint of Batman (3rd series) 16 (as Mark surmised), which is here: https://www.comics.org/issue/1671798/#1984648. One thing I note is that the page count for the story is the same (20 pages), so until I can dig it out of my stacks, I'd wager it is a full reprint.
Mark J. Castaneda Posted November 19, 2024 Posted November 19, 2024 Editorial team will look into adding this with this week's content update. Should be easy to find by searching by its full barcode number. 1
Adam Sternberg Posted November 30, 2024 Author Posted November 30, 2024 @Mark J. Castaneda, this is still showing up as a unrecognized title for me. Was there a final decision on how it should be cataloged?
Steven L. Dasinger Posted November 30, 2024 Posted November 30, 2024 I think it was entered as Batman (3rd Series) #16/C.
Mark J. Castaneda Posted December 2, 2024 Posted December 2, 2024 Steven is correct. You can easily find it by searching by its barcode number. *TIP: searching by an item's barcode number will typically take you to its listing in ComicBase if the title name isn't very clear at first glance especially with these special day releases(ex: Free Comic Book Day, Batman Day, etc.)
Adam Sternberg Posted December 8, 2024 Author Posted December 8, 2024 I had searched by UPC, but maybe not when I asked the last question. I will update, thank you both.
