Detonator
Unity

Not sure what you are asking here.


Oni and Avelon were independent publishers

Unity was a story line in Valiant comics in the early 1990s.

Force Seven was a Lone Star comics series from 2000


You can look these up here at CPG.

Need to separate publishers from titles and you can look up publishers uniquely here using CPG Publisher search.

thats what I wanted to do was to be able to download it and it show what I paid and value but that's fine thanks for the help



When you enter the comic in the CPG database be sure to put it in a virtual "Box" or you choosing

You can download the contents of the virtual box and it will show both the value and the price you paid.
CPG downloads in PDF format - but it is fairly easy get the PDF File into Microsoft Word - then you can manipulate it.

I have about 4000 comic for sale here at CPG and will give discounts up to 30% on modern comics
- not sure that would be enough for you but you can take a look and see if you find any of interest.

How to download my collection in one download?

Agree - this has been requested for a very long time.

I have gone to downloading by box rather by publisher - a lot of manipulation is still needed but a least they are sorted how I want them and not by publisher.

I suspect this is in the database but I cannot find it under title or publisher.

The cover is different than the cover shown on the database for Sad Sack's Army Life #61

This is simply Amazing Spider-Man Vol 1 Annual 13

The "King Size" was a promotional descriptor back in the day. It does add confusion as there were Giant Size and King Size specials.

Just search "Amazing Spider-Man issue 17" - sometimes less search criteria yields a better result

yeah, they have the wrong pic for #61, there's is #41. GCD states that the 'Today' issues #58- 61continue from Sad Sack Army Life Parade, which is not how CPG lists that series, so that looks to be a mistake too. https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/sad-sacks-army-life/61/pnwsnp is the offending wrong pic, your pic is correct. GCD page for it: https://www.comics.org/issue/223952/




Thanks for the reply. Seems confusing as picture in CPG does say issue #61 as best as I can tell.

Thank you for correcting. Who knew one of the most confusing titles would be Sad Sack Army Life / Sad Sack Army Life Parade / Sad Sack.... ???

Thanks KDS!


Check the publication print (indica).
Those King Size / Special / Annuals / Giant-Sized from the 1970s can be mighty confusing.
Plus see info above from collectables shop. There are some good FAQ videos in the links.

I had no idea that there was a revision to the CCA in 1971 that set the path for the next few years in comics.

Very glad you are moving Free Comic Book Day Comics to the FCBD title with the year.
This makes them much easier to find.

Not big value but previously some were difficult to find.

Thank you

We are in the middle of some serious data structuring. So, I wanted to let you know that when you see things moving around, there is a purpose.

Completed
1. All Wizard Ace books have been moved into their own titles and labeled.
2. All Image Firsts books have been moved into their own titles and are labeled.
3. All Dollar Comics have been moved into their own titles and are labeled.
4. All FCBD comics have been moved into their own titles and are labeled.

Currently in Process
1. All Annuals are being moved into their own titles and labeled.
2. All Facsimiles are being moved into their own titles and not in the main title.

We are also working on eliminating the comments field. We have started tagging things and making those tags searchable. This makes the cover artist, specifically the penciler, the key piece of information. We have changed the text on the site from cover artist to cover penciler and are removing any inker or colorist from those areas. These features are designed to make it easier to search and sort on the website.

All the best,
Ron
