I'm a new member. I can't find "Superman: "The Secret of the Wheel-Chair Superman", No. 397 put out by Action Comics (I think 1971 from info from other sites). I've attached a picture.
Thanks!

sounds like you're brand new to comics. The publisher of Action Comics is DC, the TITLE of that series is Action Comics, and issue number #397. The Secret of the Wheel-Chair Superman is the STORY title, and CPG doesn't have a feature to search by story title. Some sites do, like comics.org, so check that too when you can't find something here, they have multiple ways to search.
your issue is here: https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/action-comics/397/pjpujx
Inside the front cover, usually, is the publishing info at the bottom of the 1st page, called the indicia. It will state the real title of the series, and publisher, so that's where to look if the text on the cover is confusing. Reprint titles are also confusing to newbies, as often the series title is a small banner at the top, with a huge character name, or title it reprints, or story name below it, so people search on that and can't find it. Marvel Feature is one of those, DC Special Series is another, there's several more. The indicia will say Marvel Feature, not Fantastic Four or whoever is named on the bigger cover title.
