Adding writers, etc.

Ok, I figured it out. There was a drop down that appeared after a selection was made and you need to click on that to submit the information being input. It will accept multiple inputs at the same time, which is nice. I was just a little slow on the uptake.

Older Additions getting forgotten?

iron_puppy
iron_puppy
I know there are a steady flow of additions and corrections to this list, but are older ones gone back to to be ckecked? I have one from January of 2016 (Justice League United #2 - 2A and 2B have switched covers) and many other additions since then. Some have been done, but none of the ones I sent with scans for new listings have even had the pictures viewed. I want to keep sending more in to help update CPG, but need to feel it's getting looked at.

Dragonforce corrections

I was just entering the creators for Dragonforce and noticed that it says it was published from 1987 to 1988. The first issue is copyrighted 1988. Also, the title continued under Malibu (With the Aircel logo, but stating inside that it is a "Division of Malibu) from issue 5-13, which ended in 1990.
So, it is a Canadian publication for 1988, and then a US publication from 1988-1990.
Gotta love confusing mergers.

Dragonring vol I

Just chipping away at entering my Aircel info (more once all the new creators becoem official) and wanted to point out that Dragonring vol I, correctly listed as 1986, places it notably before the Malibu merger in 1988, should be listed with vol II as Canadian.

Look up the first Captain Canuck series (make sure you look under "canada" publishers) and click on the "specials" tab next to monthly.

Yes, I say that, but it wasn't 1987-1988, the Canadian run was only 1988. Also, as with some titles I thought you might list the later issues (5 on) as American/Malibu, which is 1988-1990.

Dragonring vol I

Aircel is a bit of an anomoly as it started a Canadian company and then became American. On this site there are some issues published when it was a Canadian company that are listed as American and vice versa.
In this case Dragonring vol I is listed as American, but it should be listed as Canadian like vol II is as all were published before the Malibu takeover in 1988.

To save space as I was coming to the forum to these, I'll just list them here.

Samurai vol I (1986-87) and Stark:Future (1986-87) from Aircel should also be listed as Canadian but is currently listed under U.S. (Any aircel title before 1988)

Maelstrom and Samurai vol I Aircel Canada

I'm still entering Aircel data and noticed theses two should also be under Aircel as a canadian publisher (pre-1988). I'll be entering Maelstrom info once a bunch of creators that are waiting for listing are available. Maelstrom was mostly Jim Somerville, so I'll wait until he's available.

Approving Creator: Richard Comely

After readig the post about creator's waiting and we could mention them again. I just tried adding him again so know the request to have him added isn't completed yet... Richard Comely, creator of Captain Canuck (and who named the first publisher he was printed by...Comely comics). I was adding info for Cap. a week ago and thought it funny that many artists who helped him are approved but he as yet is not.

Approving Creator: Richard Comely

The whole original run. He didn't do all the art but was involved as either a writer or one of the artists for each issue, but I'll need to check each issue again to see what capacity it was. It kept changing.

Ok, just grabben a few issues to check.
Issue 3 he is still credited with Cover art, writing and interior art.
Issue 13 he co-plotted only (Still a writer?)
and the last regular issue (#14) he has no credit. As the series progressed he obviously had less involvement, but he's still the ont who did the majority of the first issues.

Dark Crystal Creation Myths

iron_puppy

I posted about this under "locating", but it hit a dead end so I'm posting it here now as an error since I have found them. "Dark Crystal: Creation Myths" was published by Archaia (vol I), and BOOM! (Archaia) for Vol II & III. The error on CPG is not the listing under 2 publishers, which I get, it is that it it listed under different TITLES. Vol I only comes up under Dark Crystal with "Jim Henson's" in brackets, while vol II & III have the full correct title "Dark Crystal: Creation Myths". Vol I does not come up under creation Myths at all, although another member did add that as "story" info when you open the title. Could the title on volume I be changed to all three volumes have the same title?

I've had my comics sitting out for over a week waiting so I can input the data. Any idea when this might be done?

Saint of Killers

I couldn't believe that while Arseface was listed for his first appearance in Preacher the Saint of Killers is not! I went to add him under "Story" for issue 2 (as I couldn't find a way to add him as a "fact") but realised issue 2 is his first FULL appearance with issue 1 having a cameo (I forgot that). Thought I'd pass that along before final "approval".

Thanks.
I would have prefered to put in with Arseface under facts, but it wouldn't let me. Is there going to be a way to add more than one fact?

I was just gloing to attach my cover scan for this hard cover, but also want to add that the books title is "Copper", and does not include the authors name in it. It is just Copper, then noted, just like any book, who it was created by (Kazu Kibuishi).
Anyway, here's the link to the cover.

adding missing issue question

iron_puppy
iron_puppy
On the site a few days ago I was looking up some titles to add info on, and I did from the titles themselves (Ballads by Charles Vess and Looking for Group respectively). By this I mean I went to the titles to see if what I have was there, it wasn't, so I clicked the "report missing issue" and filled it in. Did it go through? I'm used to the adding stuff on this page where we can see if it has been checked or not and I just wondered where that info goes. Should I just add them here with missing issues? What's best?
