What publisher if more than one

[Craig A. Guerin]

How is the publisher assigned to a new title if there is multiple? Is it the first one?

For example Phantom is in the database as Charlton but started as Gold Key but then became King then Charlton.

A search for Gold Key wouldn't bring up this title even though it is a classic Gold Key Silver Age title.

Overstreet would also be another example.

typically, whoever starts the title will be the set publisher. If a publisher changes at some point, we use the notes field to indicate the new publisher is takes over.

Thanks for point out Phantom (1st series), looks like that we'll need to be modified.
