This would be better suited to the Help Locating / Identifying Comics board, but maybe more people that need this help will see it here.
I've likely posted a link to my search tips to you in other posts, but not gonna go check, so read my tips in the 4th post down on this thread:
https://comicspriceguide.com/forum/topic12110-evil-ernie-youth-gone-wild-directors-cut.aspx
the part you're asking about: Annuals, Specials, hardcovers, trade paperbacks, Free Comic Book Day/FCBD for regular series are usually not listed separately, but sometimes are, so mostly they're under the regular series name, click that, then click the appropriate tabs to see those issues. Can be tricky to find with all the reboots and cross-over production years.
also try using 'free comic book day' and then FCBD in the title search along with the comic title, a good number come up that way, but not all, shortening the time it takes a huge title to load till you can click the FCBD tab. I think they ALL should be searchable that way, but I think I was told they stopped listing them that way due to the time it takes with all the new FCBD stuff put out every year now, so they just put them under the FCBD tab now.
If you search just 'free comic book day' as exact phrase it comes up with 119 issues, and using just FCBD comes up with 122, so obviously there's more than that, that don't come up using those terms in the title search, but at least issues in that group are faster to find.
On titles that have multiple volumes it may be hard to figure out which volume has what TPB or FCBD issue you're looking for, but if you know the year of the issue, you can figure out what volume covered that year. For TPBs it can also depend on what part of the series or Volume it collected. The publisher may put out several editions over time that collect a vol.1 series, so that will still be under the Vol. 1 title and not the later volumes. Some FCBD I think will be under only the Vol. 1 title's FCBD tab, so good to check that if you can't find it under a newer volume.
So hopefully that will help.
