Gregory Hecht 15 Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 The following items should have category changes: The Pirates and the Mouse: move from comics to books The Standard Catalog of Comic Books: move from comics to books (this would follow the convention of the Overstreet Price Guide, which is listed under books) Cons de Fée: The Erotic Art of Wallace Wood: consider moving from books to comics (contains reprints of single panel cartoons, covers, and a number of complete comic stories) Link to post Share on other sites

Gregory Hecht 15 Posted August 16, 2020 Author Share Posted August 16, 2020 The following should have a category change: The All-Star Companion: move from comics to books I Have to Live with This Guy: move from comics to books The Batcave Companion: move from comics to books Comic Book Fever: A Celebration of Comics 1976-1986: move from comics to books Comics Gone Ape: The Missing Link to Primates in Comics: move from comics to books I would suggest checking all of the TwoMorrows titles to verify that they are all posted in the correct category. As a side note: when I go to the TwoMorrows search results on Atomic Avenue, not all TwoMorrows titles appear. It seems like only the titles currently categorized as comics show up there. This has the effect of hiding sellers' non-comics inventory from potential buyers, and that is obviously not helpful. I would recommend that the AA team prioritize getting a fix for that. Thanks!

Gregory Hecht 15 Posted October 11, 2020 Author Share Posted October 11, 2020 The Studio is an art book but is listed as a comic in the database. The media category for this title should be changed to Book. Also, the database lists the NM value for this as $12.50. Speaking conservatively, if you were able to locate a NM copy for less than $50, I think that you would be highly fortunate. Link to post Share on other sites
Gregory Hecht 15 Posted November 16, 2020 Author Share Posted November 16, 2020 Monsters of the Movies is listed as Comic, but only a couple of issues have a single comic story. The rest of the content is articles and photos. I suggest that this title be moved to Magazines. Link to post Share on other sites
Gregory Hecht 15 Posted March 19 Author Share Posted March 19 Battlestar Galactica (Tor) is listed as a comic, but it is in reality a series of prose novels. Be aware that the Notes field give some info as to which entries are hardcover, mass market paperback, etc. Link to post Share on other sites
Gregory Hecht 15 Posted April 2 Author Share Posted April 2 Why are 1984 Magazine and 1994 Magazine (both from Warren) listed as magazines? The content are comics in essentially the same format as things like the Creepy (Magazine) and Eerie (Warren) titles, so they should be categorized as comics. 1984 and 1994 are magazines only in terms of their construction, not in terms of their content.

Michael Jacobson 0 Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 (edited) Appleseed ID should be moved from Books back to Comics because a good chunk of it is composed of a short story comic. In addition, the trade dress matches Appleseed (Dark Horse) second editions as well as Appleseed Hypernotes. Edited April 5 by Michael E. Jacobson Link to post Share on other sites
Mark J. Castaneda 13 Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 thanks Michael. If there are any issues we missed, please send them in (internet menu>send new or corrected data) Link to post Share on other sites
Michael Jacobson 0 Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 This entry in Comics should be moved to Books. It is the prose novel version of the comics. I tried creating an entry for it in Books, but I keep getting an error dialog box: Can't Save Issue: Had trouble saving this issue: constraint failed FOREIGN KEY constraint failed. *Seemed to have fixed error by naming the entry "Batman: The Ultimate Evil (Novel)".

Gregory Hecht 15 Posted April 12 Author Share Posted April 12 The Prehistoric Times: listed as Comic Book, should be in the Magazine category. DC Calendar: listed as Comic Book, should be moved to Book category. Sandman, The: King of Dreams: listed as Comic Book, should be in the Book category. Conan Event, A: 1984 Calendar: listed as a Magazine, should be moved to Book category. Link to post Share on other sites
Gregory Hecht 15 Posted April 16 Author Share Posted April 16 Last Run, The: listed as Comic Book, should be moved to Book category. Gentleman's Game, A: listed as Comic Book should be moved to Book category. [Note that I just submitted the hardcover version of this as a book from my database, so what you'll really want to do is move this item into the new book title after you accept my submission. I am guessing that the $7.99 item already listed in the database is a MMPB rather than a TPB, but you might want to double-check that.] Surprisingly, Private Wars wasn't in the database so I submitted the data for the hardcover of that book. If anybody has the paperback, they should submit that data. Link to post Share on other sites
Gregory Hecht 15 Posted April 22 Author Share Posted April 22 The following titles are listed in the database as books but should be listed as comics: Guidebook to the Marvel Cinematic Universe - Marvel's Agents of SHIELD Guidebook to the Marvel Cinematic Universe - Marvel's Agents of SHIELD Season Three/Marvel's Agent Carter Season Two Guidebook to the Marvel Cinematic Universe - Marvel's Agents of SHIELD Season Two/Marvel's Agent Carter Season One Guidebook to the Marvel Cinematic Universe - Marvel's Avengers Guidebook to the Marvel Cinematic Universe - Marvel's Avengers: Age of Ultron Guidebook to the Marvel Cinematic Universe - Marvel's Captain America: Civil War Guidebook to the Marvel Cinematic Universe - Marvel's Captain America: The First Avenger Guidebook to the Marvel Cinematic Universe - Marvel's Captain America: The Winter Soldier/Marvel's Ant-Man Guidebook to the Marvel Cinematic Universe - Marvel's Doctor Strange Guidebook to the Marvel Cinematic Universe - Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy Guidebook to the Marvel Cinematic Universe - Marvel's Incredible Hulk/Iron Man 2 Guidebook to the Marvel Cinematic Universe - Marvel's Iron Man Guidebook to the Marvel Cinematic Universe - Marvel's Iron Man 3/Marvel's Thor: The Dark World Guidebook to the Marvel Cinematic Universe - Marvel's Thor Guidebook to the Marvel Cinematic Universe (a hardcover which collects a bunch of the above comics) All of them are basically OHOTMU for the early MCU films. No other changes for any of these (even if they have different punctuation than what I typed up above), just change their category to comics. Link to post Share on other sites
Michael Jacobson 0 Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 Here are a few titles that need category changes: Akira Club: listed under Comic Books, should be moved to Books. It's an art book, if anything. Aliens: Tribes: listed under Comic Books, should be moved to Books. It's a prose novel with fully painted illustrations in each chapter. Batman: Murder at Wayne Manor: move from Comic Books to Books. Batman: The Complete History : move from Comic Books to Books, along with... Superman: The Complete History , and... Wonder Woman: The Complete History, to finish the Trinity. DC Comics: Sixty Years of the World's Favorite Comic Book Heroes: belongs in Books. Grendel: Past Prime: move to Books. This is a novel with illustrations. Wayne of Gotham: move to books, a straight-out novel with no illustrations. Link to post Share on other sites
Gregory Hecht 15 Posted April 25 Author Share Posted April 25 Haunt of Horror (Digest) should be moved from Comics to Magazines. This title contained prose and some illustrations, but no comics. Link to post Share on other sites

Gregory Hecht 15 Posted May 7 Author Share Posted May 7 The various "100 Project" publications are essentially all art books rather than comics. A couple of these are listed in the database as Books, but most are still in the Comics category. The following should be moved from Comics to Books: The Batman 100 Project The Fantastic Four 100 Project The Hulk 100 Project Justice League of America 100 Project The New Avengers 100 Project The Ultimate Spider-Man 100 Project The Uncanny X-Men 100 Project The Walking Dead 100 Project Wolverine: The Weapon X 100 Project The Wonder Woman 100 Project Link to post Share on other sites
Gregory Hecht 15 Posted May 31 Author Share Posted May 31 The database lists All-New Iron Manual as a book. This title is actually a comic. Link to post Share on other sites
Gregory Hecht 15 Posted June 9 Author Share Posted June 9 The database lists Art of Walter Simonson as a book title. Even though the title says "Art of" the contents are really all DC comic stories drawn by Simonson. This item should be moved back to comics. Link to post Share on other sites
Gregory Hecht 15 Posted June 10 Author Share Posted June 10 Planet Hulk: Gladiator Guidebook is listed in the database as a book. It is a comic. Link to post Share on other sites
Gregory Hecht 15 Posted July 4 Author Share Posted July 4 The Misadventures of Jane is listed in the database as a book. It primarily contains reprinted comic strips, so it should be listed in the Comic Book category. Wally Wood: Dare-Devil Aces, Commandos & Other Sagas of War is listed in the database as a book. It reprints comic book stories, so it should be listed in the Comic Book category. Link to post Share on other sites
Gregory Hecht 15 Posted July 16 Author Share Posted July 16 Brother Billy, The Pain From Plains is listed in the database as a comic. It contains illustrations and a lot of text jokes, and isn't really a comic. IMO this should be moved to the Magazine category. Link to post Share on other sites
