Is there a way to make a correction to a story? I submitted a story to the wrong issue. I was able to quickly delete the creator information and associate it with the correct issue but I can't figure out how to correct the stories I submitted.

Adding Artists

Hammerstone73
Hammerstone73
A few months ago I started going through some Golden Age titles and filling in details on artists, stories, etc. These are Golden Age titles that frequently have multiple stories in each issue with different artists, inkers and authors. I've found that a fair number of the Golden Age artists are not currently listed in the database. I submit them to be verified as I run across them but I haven't noticed any of them having yet been added to the database. I keep running into the same missing artists. Furthermore, I've found that some were already submitted by others and waiting to be added to the database.
I'm attempting to complete all the fields issue by issue and am running into this repeatedly. It doesn't make sense to me to add some artists to a title and omit other artists, as the issues will still need updating.
Is there a way to assist the process of adding artists?

All-American Comics #12 lists Jon Blummer as the cover artist. Both of my sources lists the cover artist as William Smith (pencils) and Stan Aschmeier (inker) as the cover artists.

BasementComics...Thanks! The single biggest addition was Superman #1. I also added Human Torch #1 and a few other books I've been looking for for a while. I also purchased a golden age collection this past fall that I've been slowly logging in.

Sorry, that was me, I didn't realize I'd been signed out when posting.

This is part of a series by Dell Comic/Western of this tiles. Issues #1 & 2 were published in 1942 &1943 (in CPG database). The title then moved to their Four Color Series (in CPG database) with a single issue being published in 1952 as an independent series with only a single issue published and numbered #1 (not in CPG database). I can provide a cover scan if desired.

Other appears not to be listed, so they have 1 to add now.

Thanks, I'm sure why I didn't see that!
