I'm sure I'll remember it too, now that I figured that little trick out. So the nicknames and aliases must be a hidden field that admins have access to? They aren't just entered as part of the last or first name?

I assume you're talking about the Creator Add form for individual issues, right? Cuz if you're using the search page for searching Creators ( https://comicspriceguide.com/creators ), you don't need the apostrophe when using nicknames, from a couple tests I did with artgerm and cafu. or maybe you know that already, it just wasn't clear in your post.




Yeah, I was talking about when you are adding the creators to an individual issue.

Great explanation! I'm a fan of Zatanna. I could easily see the 'Zatanna and The Ripper" Webtoon being made into a live action TV series. Kind of a DC response to Marvel's WandaVision.

Comic book grade question, markings on back

That sucks. At least it wasn't a retirement money book. I would say that it drops it quite a bit. I wouldn't put it higher than a 6. If it was on the front cover, it would be lower yet.
There may be a way to clean it though. Not sure it's something an amateur could do though. Someone with more experience with that will have to chime in.

Any value to items in with comics?

glorkar

Sealed comics with the goodies / extras may bring a small premium to the right buyer. But overall, the value is in the comic. So if the book itself is not anything special, what came with it won't make much of a difference.
In the example you provided, since the book itself is only worth $3-5, you could expect $5-7.

This book could use the note that it's the first appearance of Tamika Bowden (Wildstreak).

Just want to say I appreciate everyone that enters and verifies information for this site, both users and staff. I know there's a ton of stuff waiting in queues. I was hoping that maybe I could give a nudge to some creator additions? Pretty please?
These are for Antarctica from Image / Top Cow.
https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/antarctica/phtumx
It's up to issue seven now. The writer, artist and letterer are submitted to be added, but haven't quite made it through that process yet:
Simon Birks
Willi Roberts
Lyndon White


Also, the subtext for cover artist for issues 1A and 2A have Willi Roberts spelled incorrectly (only has one L, should be two):

Thanks again!

Got another strange one.
Clarice "Saowee" Menguito
https://comicspriceguide.com/creators/clarice-saoweemenguito

Just added her as the cover artist to White Widow 3B. Bit of a challenge. Sao, 'sao nor "sao prompted any results. I had to hit the webernets to find her real name. Started typing clari and it popped right up.
Not sure what is different with her alias, but it simply won't come up in the search.
I did notice that my other examples are listed on the creator search page (https://comicspriceguide.com/creators/) as carlos-alberto-fernandez-cafu and stanley-lau-artgerm whereas hers is clarice-saoweemenguito (no dash and the alias is in the middle).

For some reason this Marvel UK title is lasted as being a USA published book. I could be wrong (have been before), but pretty sure it needs the country changed.

This is listed as a One-Shot all by it's lonesome: https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/batman-and-robin-2024-annual/phvwhp

Shouldn't be listed under an Annuals tab under the main series? https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/batman-and-robin/phwrkv

Was it only Star Wars that had them? Or were there other books in early '78 that had them too?

By the Eye of Thundera, that's a lot of variants (sort of, since there's like, five versions of some covers)!

Found a couple oopses.

Ivan Tao Virgin Variant has a 7 in front of his name in the subtitle: https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/thundercats/1-RI-Y/piusmpv
David Nakayama Foil Variant has the Image by Lucio Parrillo: https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/thundercats/1G/piusmqs

The thing is, I'm pretty sure the description is correct, just the image is wrong. That's why I kept DNA in for the cover artist.

Just yupped a bunch of cover artists for ya.
Got a question on some prices you and Hammerstone73 have entered for Freelance Comics though. Since those are Canadian comics, the prices would be in Canadian, right? And CPG only puts the USD cover prices, doesn't it?
Just want to make sure since I haven't really dug into foreign books much.

How are comics named / posted???

glorkar
glorkar
Yeah, the fine print inside one of the covers is called the indicia. The title listed there is the official title. The one on the cover can sometimes be confusing or misleading.
There are a lot of recent indie (ie. Kickstarter) books that are not in the database, but most older ones should be.
Can you give an example of one you are looking for?

It's here: https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/strange-mysteries/pixrm

It's a Canadian publisher, so you need to change the dropdown to "All", "USA, UK, Canada, Australia" or "Canada only"
