Trying to load Variant Cover, COMICO, GRENDEL # 8. I keep getting error-
' Input string was not in correct format'.
What does this mean?

edited off the pic, it was of #1, not 8.
could be it's not in .jpg or .png format, or too big a file?

Yes, That is the correct cover. My picture is in jpg. and the size is 2.98.
I do not know what 'input string' means. Thanks.

man, I missed that what I attached is #1, not #8, der. got it off an e*** search for grendel 8 variant and missed that the result said #1. I find no variant for #8 other than the newsstand version, so can you attach a pic? #1 has a 1st and second print, but same cover, and CPG has both and the newsstand, so need to see a pic of what you have, or some link to one.

Thanks for helping. The picture you posted sure looked good to me. I have been trying to post my cover and I cannot. I found the correct
picture of # 8 GRENDEL on the mycomicshop site. I have many books not listed here so I will continue trying. Thank you, I know I can count on your assistance.

can you post a link to the one you see on mycomicshop? for the 1986 comico series #8, I only see one #8 there, no variant. If you mean it's the direct edition vs the newsstand CPG has, then better to state that. I for one don't count 'newsstands' as variants, just newsstand edition. so got a pic off comics.org for the direct edition of #8 and submitted it ok. 'course, had to submit it as a variant or post it here, so submitted it as the direct variant.

So as far as listing the books, newsstand and direct are one and the same here on CPG. That will make it easy on me to list some books.
I know you must be getting of me, but I am trying. Thanks.

it's ok, but still trying to find out what 'variant' of #8 you're trying to get on here? have you checked the image's file name? others have tried to attach pics or upload them here that didn't work because of oddball characters in the file name that messes up the system, so wonder if that's the error message problem? so simple names like 'grendel-8-variant.jpg' work best. I had no trouble submitting the direct version earlier, so dunno why the system doesn't like yours.

I guess the 'variant' I was trying to post is the one you posted. The cover without the barcode. I don't know what I did different but I just posted a cover picture of another book. I'm amazed it worked.
