Had to search on just Justice League #1, wait and wait for that result to load, and scroll down till I found it: https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/justice-league/1-WALM/phtpbyq

I own it, just got it back from CGC (the only 9.8, yippee), and the Indicia says the correct title is Justice League Special Edition #1, which is how most other sites have it too, and what CGC uses, so should be listed like that so it's easier to find for all 1 of us who look for it. Would be nice if all the Walmart variants could be found by adding Walmart to the search terms too, thanks. If you search on just Walmart, only 3 titles come up, so why not have all the rest cross referenced that way too, seeing as how there's so many now? I'm sure this has been suggested already and I know there's lots of WM variants, but surely the in-house search can find the ones with 'WALM' in the title area.

Since this reprints the 2011 New 52 JL #1, it's up to CPG to decide if it should also be listed with the variants of that, even tho this ish was published in 2016.

Hi there. Ron or another admin can comment on the search thoughts you outlined.

For finding all the Walmart variants, it sounds like you are performing a Title Search. Since Walmart variants are Exclusives, you should perform an Exclusives search. It is located under the Price Guide option in the main toolbar:


If you then click the "W" for Walmart, it is the 3rd one down and has 144 issues tagged as an Exclusive


Clicking then on the Walmart will give you the option to see all the Walmart Exclusives across Publishers or you can change the view to view just a single one.

Let me know if that is what you were looking for.

thanks David, I wasn't aware of the Exclusives search as I rarely use that drop down, and don't collect newer comics regularly, or the Walmart stuff (the one I bought was a case of mistaken identity), so haven't had a need to search for exclusives much.
I see some info has been added to the listing and it shows under the 2011-2016 series as #1-WALM, but since you all use the indicia for the titles, it still needs to be changed to Justice League Special Edition #1 like the indicia says (just trying to follow the 'rules') so it can be found that way too, even tho the cover doesn't say special edition, and few will check the indicia to see the 'real' title', and of course most people will probably search Justice League #1 for it anyway. I know this book is probably rarely searched for, so not a big deal, but every little bit of info in listings helps.

Thanks, I learnt sumthing!

It's the little things that bring us joy.

Each of the various searches in the drop-down can give some interesting information on Exclusives (obvi), Story Arcs (some great summaries), Creators (photos, Twitter, Facebook, IG links), Characters (bios), Genre (looking for something new), Cover Scans (where do you rank?), etc.

Of course, these are all dependent on information being input.

Enjoy! -Dg
