I accidentally added Lar deSouza as the Cover Artist to : LOOKING FOR GROUP #9

Is there any way I can change/remove my suggestion?

Thanks!

That makes it a bit difficult to track the collection then. having "2 databases" that don't match.

On top of that I searched the entire comic and there isnt a single spot that mentions dabel brothers.

Hi!

I noticed that Arif Priyanto has their name misspelled in the database when adding them as a colorist to Anita Blakes Guilty Pleasures. The name is currently spelled Prianto and is missing a y.

Thank you!

Took this picture in issue 1, its also in issues 2 and 3. Maybe misspelt?

Looked around on the internet and this may be a misprint.

Looking For Group Corrections

Its me again!

Sorry about this but I am on leave and don't have much else to do!

I noticed a few issues with the Looking For Group comic series.

First - were missing an entire series. This series is published by blind ferret entertainment and has 5 issues. There is an example linked here and here https://www.g-mart.com/static/d06672.html

Second - the series we have is numbered oddly, The result of which means we have covers with the incorrect variant, and two missing variants. I have attached a picture from the inside of Book 1(A). I put the A in parenthesis because the books don't follow a numbering guideline of "1, 1A, 1B, 1C, 2, 2A, 2B." Instead they are all lettered "1A, 1B, 2A, 2B"
https://www.comicspriceguide.com/titles/looking-for-group/vjtpk

The dynamite website also lists them in this same format. https://dynamite.com/htmlfiles/viewProduct.html?PRO=C72513023009601011

What is CPGs stance on how to number the books on the website? I am willing to upload the missing covers after I know how CPG wants to number these.

Thank you in advance!

Thanks for letting me know about realm.

I didn't even see #2A, that's terrible.

Thanks for doing #9!

Well see what CPG says about the numbering for the other stuff.

Hello!

I uploaded 18 variant covers for the Quested comic series, every single one of them extremely clear and easy to see/read. However I no longer see them in the verify data que and they are not published.

I followed the directions someone gave me in this link https://comicspriceguide.com/forum/messages.aspx?TopicID=18213#post42346

Is there something wrong with what I uploaded? Were they too big? I can make them smaller if needed. Let me know and ill get it fixed!

New Back Issues

I'm a fairly new collector, and something I have come across is the lack of back issue availability with new/recent comics.

I have about 15 comic stores in my area, all with varying degrees of stock/effort.

I overheard one clerk telling a customer he wishes you could order back issues. He told the customer if he could he would. Now I I was a bit skeptical of this as he had a very large store and one small corner was dedicated to comics, the rest was miniatures manga and hardcovers/traditional books. He had about 10 long boxes in total and one small shelf of this weeks comics, almost none of his long boxes had bags and even less were boarded. This left me with the impression he didn't actually care that much about them and didn't want to order them.
I have yet to ask directly but is it true stores can't order recent back issues? I'm talking issues published in the last 5ish years?

Any insight on this would be great!

Thank you!

Thank you guys for the info. Seems like its a combo of many variants and publishers/distributors printing to order. I suppose that reduces the overhead for them. Too bad though, it would be nice if they at least had a few extras for the comics that end up being popular. So basically you just need to have a comic shop around that's willing to throw some money down, or hit the 2nd hand market.

Alright so I took a look.
I used the "contribute scan" button below the "missing scan" image on each individual one.

I remember seeing it change to "pending review"

I remember seeing it being listed on the verify page.

They are all 90KB-250KB and 823x1248.

They do not show up under "my misses"

its like the submissions were just deleted?

Deleted, and re-uploaded. Thank you kind sir.

I got them from League of Comic Geeks, and I just clicked through some of them and there are no water marks on them.

Hoping an admin responds sometime in the next few days, if not I'll just try again I guess?
