6/21/2023 Topic: Is this the right place to post? Comicsfann	Hi, I am a new member. I saw some videos on YouTube about how to submit information that is missing from the database -- for example, who the letterer, inker or colorist was for a particular issue -- but I am wondering about another scenario. I have some issues that feature the first appearances of some characters (not superstars, bit players or one-offs like Oddball, Bombshell and The Silencer). The entries for their debut comic issues don't mention the debuts. I assume this is because they are not "popular" enough. But I may as well ask. I am putting this information in the Notes section under "My Collection" for now. Is there also a place and method by which I can notify someone to add this information to the issue's entry in the main database, or should I not bother? The issues that feature my examples above are Hawkeye Vol. 1 (limited series), issues 2 (Silencer) and 3 (Oddball and Bombshell). Thanks.
10/19/2023 Topic: Gemstone Publishing - EC Comics reprints (Annuals) Comicsfann	Hello! In the early 1990s, Gemstone Publishing reprinted full runs of classic EC Comics titles, as individual issues and also in collections that spanned four or five issues at a time in a square-bound, softcover "Annual" format. The CPG database includes the annuals for titles like: "Weird Fantasy" (1992-1996, Vol. 1) -- see link: https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/weird-fantasy/xlwu and "Weird Science-Fantasy" (1992-1994, Vol. 1) -- see link: https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/weird-science-fantasy/xlvs However, the CPG database appears to be missing these "Annual" format compilations for other titles, including "Weird Science" (1992-1997, Vols. 1-5) -- see link: https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/weird-science/xlvq I've copied the submission post format below and have filled it out to the best of my ability (I don't have many of these issues but wanted to add them to my "Wants" list.") 01. TITLE: Weird Science Annual Note, please use the indicia for correct title information. If title already exists in the database please copy and paste the link to the database entry in the space below. https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/weird-science/xlvq 02. PUBLISHER: Note, please use the indicia for correct publisher information. Gemstone Publishing 03. COUNTRY PUBLISHED: USA 04. COUNTRY PRINTED: Canada ===================================================== 05. ISSUE #: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 06. COVER PRICE: $9.95 ($13.70 Canada) 07. DATE: 08. ISSUE NOTES: Vol 1 reprints EC Comics' Weird Science issues 1-5; Vol. 2 reprints WS issues 6-10; Vol. 3 reprints WS 11-14; Vol. 4 reprints WS 15-18; Vol. 5 reprints WS 19-22. 09. PRINT RUN (If Known or Listed): I don't know the print run. 10. ISBN/ISSN# (If Listed): I don't know. The UPC/ISBN is not printed on the covers. Note the back covers show other titles that Gemstone Publishing was reprinting in the same Annual format. I have not checked CPG database to see if all of those other titles (e.g. Tales from the Crypt, Shock SuspenStories, The Vault of Horror, Two-Fisted Tales, The Haunt of Fear, Crime SuspenStories) have their annuals represented. 11. URL TO COVER SCAN (If Available): Note, www.photobucket.com is a free image hosting website and good place to host your cover scans.
10/20/2023 Topic: Gemstone Publishing - EC Comics reprints (Annuals) Comicsfann	Actually, Weird Science and Weird Science Fantasy are two different titles. I included the link to Weird Science Fantasy in my original post as an example of one of Gemstone's titles that includes the "Annuals" category as well as a link to Weird Science, which does not include "Annuals."
10/20/2023 Topic: Gemstone Publishing - EC Comics reprints (Annuals) Comicsfann	Yes, those are the issues to which I was referring. Thank you for the link and for responding. I did a test to try to submit the volume that I own, #2, which reprints EC's "Weird Science" issues 6-10. Hope that works.
