I don't find it either, despite CPG listing a bunch of other Marvel Illustrated books. More info at comics.org: https://www.comics.org/series/82601/
more info from memory-beta.fandom wiki: "This collection was unusual in that it reformatted comic book pages panel-by-panel so that text and images could fit legibly on much smaller paperback-sized pages. This meant that only a few panels were printed per page. However, they were reproduced with much higher quality than in the original comics....reprints 3 Marvel TOS series: Tomorrow or Yesterday" (#7), "... Like a Woman Scorned!" (#11), "Eclipse of Reason" (#12)."

So Casper or Gilgandra has something to do now smile

Missing - IDW Snake Eyes: Deadgame #5 Alt Cover

well, you're not making it easy smile
your 1st link goes to Star Wars Adventures somehow. let's try https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/snake-eyes-deadgame/5/phuqovw
Your date is a year off, should be 2021
the link to idw doesn't show the Unknown Comics variant, so doesn't do any good.
your pics are of a graded copy, and upside down for the front.
There's multiple other Unknown Comics variants for #5 and probably the other issues. Whoever programmed Unknown's site search results needs a lesson in how they should appear, they're all out of order. Here's a search results link so maybe an admin can add all the missing variants:
https://unknowncomicbooks.com/search?type=product&options%5Bprefix%5D=last&q=snake+eyes+deadgame

CPG series page: https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/snake-eyes-deadgame/pktpmw
you can add missing variants yourself too, which is posted a million times in the forum. Here's how:

Get a good square-on scan, .jpg format preferred, cropped to the edges of the comic. If you can't, then find them on the net, with no watermarks, no signatures, no pro-graded ones, and try to make sure they're a published version, not a pre-production pic (like a Previews solicitation often is), as those get changed in production all the time. Best to resize them if you can to about 350-400px wide, but CPG can do that too. Use the "Report Missing Variant" function found in the listings for individual books. You must be logged in to do this.

-Navigate to the specific book that is missing a variant.
-Select the 'Variants' tab found next to 'Values'.
-You should see a red box titled "Report Missing Variants" on the right side below any listed variants.
-Clicking the box will bring up a page where you can enter information specific to the variant you are reporting (not all is required). This includes what it's called, price, artist, publication date, etc. This makes it much faster for the admins to process the request.

It's possible this exists... While I don't know where it is (I have about 40,000 books), my database shows I have a copy of Battlestar Galactica: Origins "Special Edition ashcan giveaway". I am in Canada, and I was buying the BSG DVDs from Future Shop, so this might be it. I will keep an eye out for it.

A "Special Edition ashcan giveaway" is going to be a different book. google had nothing on a search for that either, but didn't spend much time looking or tweaking search terms. The book in question is a regular size/edition comic, and from all available info was just the regular version tossed in to the dvd tins. what you may have sounds like something else, so dig that puppy out and post a pic, inquiring minds wanna know!

Kind of a pain trying to find production pics of the Doctor Who issue, most everyone is using pre-production pics without the issue # on them and there's 3 regular covers and 4 virgin exclusives, so here's some links for the admins:

they're missing the Space Bastards special, so here's the publisher's page for it: https://www.humanoids.com/y_catalog/book/id/1276
ALWAYS try to provide more info and links to pics or attached pics, it really helps. read this forum post that's at the top of the forum too, that's what it's there for: https://comicspriceguide.com/forum/topic8-guidelines--please-read-before-posting.aspx

not sure why Serial #10 isn't up yet, but here's a pic on comics.org they can use: https://www.comics.org/issue/2305051/
https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/serial/pkvqnp for the series.

have fun admins...

if there are creators listed in the comic, you can post that info to help speed things up. comics.org doesn't have any creator info on it. since it's a different title than the 1st one, I think you'll have to wait for an admin to add it, vs using the 'report missing issue' button under the 1st issue's listing.

seems to be a mistake on the orange lettering comment. every 2nd print on e*** and on MCS etc looks just like the 1st print, no orange lettering, same with CPG's own pic. Now, the 2008 TPB printing has orange lettering, so maybe someone goofed up and thought that was a 2nd print of #1 also.

it's here: https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/franklin-richards-summer-smackdown/1/wixxou
the problem is it's misspelled with an apostrophe in it, instead of Richards. Lots of that going on, so always try adding or removing an apostrophe.
some admin will come along and fix the misspelling.

which volume of Fantastic Four? They have the 1965, 2001, and 2022 #40 & 41, although I don't know why the 2001 series is Volume 3, but the 2022 series is volume 2.

They do seem to be missing the Spidey Masterworks #23 from this series, https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/marvel-masterworks-amazing-spider-man/pksyi .
comics.org listing for credits, https://www.comics.org/issue/2325643/ , pic attached for CPG to use.
more creator credits: Writers: Roger Stern, Bill Mantlo, Tom DeFalco, Jim Shooter.

Artists: John Romita Jr., Ron Frenz, Ed Hannigan, Al Milgrom.

oops, you're correct. I had only searched on the issue numbers, not the whole series. so they need to move the 40&41 to the 2018 series. stuff like this happens when there's so many volumes of the same title.

As everyone has said, if you can measure it and it's about 10x13, it's the treasury size reprint. https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/famous-first-edition/4_treasury-size/piwynr
They had TWO covers, the outer cover says Famous 1st Edition on it and is a heavier stock. The inside cover is the the same as the original, EXCEPT some art elements are missing. The FFE reprint has only 1 bad guy flying out of the car, and fewer bricks flying about. See this thread with pics of both on the CGC forum: https://boards.cgccomics.com/topic/428289-whiz-comics-1-tell-me-what-i-have/

google searches would find you the answer too.

Mandrake the Magician

Those are published by L. Miller & Sons, a UK publisher, 1961 series, so normally they'd be under the UK in the Country dropdown choice, but CPG doesn't appear to have this series listed anyway. Searching by publisher shows 152 L. Miller titles, but not this one.

always try to post or link to pics and give publisher info, it really helps. There's multiple Mandrake series, so the more info you give, the easier it is for others to find. Lady Ermine is #8.

comics.org is a great resource when you can't find something here, but it's not a price guide. You can search by Story Title there, or 'Everything' if need be and most likely they'll have it. here's the series you're looking for: https://www.comics.org/series/26654/

so if some CPG admin wants to add it, there ya go.

Missing Warren Magazine Title

pic attached. odd that comics.org doesn't have it, but mycomicshop does.
and if anyone cares, found this on the CGC forums:
"The following is an excerpt from an introduction by Forrest J. Ackerman for the 1988 “Collector’s Guide to Monster, Science Fiction and Fantasy Film Magazines” price guide.

“This mysterious magazine American oneshot, House of Horror, missing from 99% of completists’ collections: here’s the story on it. There was such a magazine in England. Warren learned they were about to ship a number of copies to America each issue. He didn’t want any extra competition so he rushed into print a domestic magazine with the same name, reprinting 4 articles by me with a 5th reprint by Dennis Billows, an assistant of mine at the time. The edition was extremely limited ---only 400 copies, if I recall correctly, though on a nice white better stock of paper than FM ---because the publisher only had to satisfy certain copyright regulations, such as circulating 200 copies in 5 states (or whatever). This was in 1978. The unsold copies of the “ashcan” edition he gave to me. At one time an assistant (not Billows) stole about 30 copies from me and sold them to a dealer in a nearby city. After the perfidy came to my attention (and the assistant was gone) I bought back my own magazines because they had been sold for far less than I knew they were worth."

according to the CGC census, there's 35 graded copies, with one 9.6 as top grade. Heritage sold it back in 2014, not sure if it's been up for sale since.

well, they've sold 4 OF them, but only sold the 9.6 once, which is the one I was referring to smile
