Basketful of Heads #6 Mateo Scalera Variant Cover

It shouldn't be listed as a Mateo Scalera Variant Cover.

Cover artist listed is Igor Kordey

Cover also has his monogram as well, IK in the lower right corner

Listed creator vs actual creators.

Found this interesting little "thing" with Red Hood Outlaw #44.

Creator listing shows Sunny Gho as one of the cover artists.

But the cover clearly shows Arif Priantos signature initials on the cover, right under Paolo Pantalenas.

I wanted to be sure, so looked back at several issues with Arif and Sunny being listed as cover artist, and after some painstaking, and eyeball straining, I discovered this to be accurate. Not this is a major issue, but if members are entering just what is listed inside, well, this isn't giving justice to the actual artist, at least in this aspect anyways. I figured maybe the creator listing was already completed prior to the cover art being completed, or someone just goofed, who's to say

I only discovered this, because I've always enjoyed trying to find the artist on the cover, sometimes their names or initials are somewhat hidden, say in the molding of a building, or part of sign, just something I kinda like doing. Artist don't really do that anymore, not as much as they used to anyways.

Anyways, just my two cents.

Thanks for listening

How do you define a first appearance?

Here is another one to consider.
Gwenpool
First cover appearance? Deadpools Secret Wars, naturally. BUT, she was only on the cover, and not as an actual character in any comic. More of a homage to COSPLAY people who were dressed that way.
Her first "Appearance" as an actual character was in Howard the Duck #1
So with that being said, which comic do you all feel should be the one to go after? They both fit the bill as first appearances, but in different ways
This is just my opinion, and as I have both issues, its not going to affect me either way.

Bastrada, use the volume of the series, ie Amazing Spider-man, look at the year of the Annual, and match it to the year of the series, once you are on that series, there are tabs across the top that show specials, annuals, etc. The annuals themselves don't necessarily show up under a search. Give me an example and ill try to explain a little more

remove the shrink wrap, bag and board, there is nothing that will increase the value of these other then the variant itself, plus they are better protected bagged/boarded.

So I guess I added a "Missing Variant" where I shouldn't have. I didn't realize there was a direction edition version already in the database. Please remove/delete the submission that I just entered. My apologies.

Unfortunately, it was the just the one issue that I added when I noticed the error. The issue I have does say Fallen on the cover and in the indicia. So I gather there are 2 series? First one being Will of Iron and the second being Fallen?

I am having a hard time determining the difference between the Chromium Foil cover and the Embossed VVSS Edition. Current scans doesn't really provide a good way of knowing.

Thanks
