The system had the Dr. Fate in it as Doctor Fate.

It has Doctor Mirage as Dr. Mirage.

Does it bother anyone else?

It should correspond to the exact text written in the indicia which is normally at the bottom of the first page. Sometimes they hide it elsewhere. If the listing does not match the indicia, it bothers me.

It is confusing has heck!!! (to keep this conversation PG rated).

As the previous post mentioned, it is really up the the publisher as to whether they abbreviate "Doctor" in the official copyright publication information (i.e. indica).

Dr. Graves or Doctor Graves? Dr. Strange or Doctor Strange? Dr. Mirage or Doctor Mirage?

And then there's Doc Savage... I'd say don't get me started, but I think it is too late...................................................................

Just my two cents KDS

Well with this example, most I think would know to try one or both when looking up the book. I agree, not good if listed wrong.

It doesn't really bother me, if I was looking it up, I'd type in just Graves, Strange or Mirage. (even Savage) smile You get the same hits. smile
