Presumably duplicates of #2777093 and #1168905

It is rather "weird" that the series name is also listed as a series name.
That seems quite irregular to me.

These were duplications. Can someone explain to me how it can be done differently? Thank you

Hello, there is a cacophony of titles throughout the EC - approximately 30 and hundreds of editions and reprints - further mentions such as comic magazine - album - tpb and many more publishers. There are simply a lot of duplications or the wrong title. I'm trying to filter them - as a simple administrator I just don't know how to remove these doublues. I have gained quite a bit of knowledge in the last 50 years in the field of comics and EC comics in particular and wanted to create some order in the chaos - so I could use some constructive criticism

Change title (entirely) to Duplicate of XXXXXXX.
(XXXXXXXX = catalog number of the item that must remain.
The relevant (super) administrators will clean this up regularly.
More information about duplications can be found:
---> just type the word 'duplicates' at the top of the forum search bar and choose from...

Have you ever read the Comics Handbook ?
This explains a lot and makes it clear.
In this case the Series/Hero becomes Weird Science
It will be like a Series
EC Archives: Weird Science [2006-2008] HC [USA]

Open the manual every now and then to look for problems, but the difference between series and series is not very clear to me.

Series- EC Archives: Weird Science [2006-2008] HC [USA]

Is/can the publisher also participate in this series: sometimes there are 15 publishers or more with reprints of one and the same comic?
Make the changes as soon as possible. Then please let me know if it is right or wrong? Thank you

Series / hero is the main character or characters of the story or series. For example Tintin or X-Men.
It is possible that there is not a fixed main character as in this case. Then the series/hero is Weird Science.

Publisher is only filled in the publisher field.

MandersH ,

Publisher is only filled in the publisher field.

HI, if multiple publishers publish the 'same' comic, different periods/comics/numbering
then they are different items and the publisher has to
must be mentioned in the name, otherwise it is still there for the collector
no recognition/distinction.

What is the Publisher field for?
'Fields' and 'Filters' are there to make a distinction.
> Go to Series/Hero
> Select Weird Science
> Then select the Publisher filter on the left
> Select All publishers
> Now you see all publishers that have ever published 1 or more 'Weird Scvience'.
And it can be even easier if you are looking for a specific title, for example.
Then simply type the title in the search bar at the top (for comics).
Then you will receive all results that contain the title neatly per collective category.
It's actually just a matter of 'targeted searching'....

But most editions from different publishers all differ in size, number of stories, number of pages. Maybe not in the small amount of comics that are currently in the catalog, but if I release all EC comics on Lastdodo you will get a huge amount of different items.

The vault of horror 13 is not always The vault of horror 13 - the publishers in the USA are making a mess of it

Okay, but then the information has to be good and I am now trying to channel that a bit. Some Ec comics suddenly get different numbers and number of pages from another publisher. The publisher and further information must be mentioned otherwise you are looking for an accident.
As an example of the quantities of publishers you can encounter, even with 1 title, here is a list:

Weird Science [m] (Gemstone) 14 issues in 1994 - 1997
Weird Science [b] (Akileos) 3 issues in 2012 - 2016
Weird Science [b] (Diábolo Ediciones) 4 issues in 2021 - 2023
Weird Science [m] (Gladstone) 4 issues in 1990 - 1991
Weird Science (001 Edizioni) 4 issues in 2006 - 2008
Weird Science [m] (EC) 4 issues in 1950 - 1950
Weird Science [m] (Norbert Hethke Verlag) 3 issues in 2002 - 2002
Weird Science [m] (EC) 18 issues in 1951 - 1953
Weird Science [b] (Russ Cochran) 4 issues in 1980 - 1980
Weird Science [m] (Russ Cochran) 8 issues in 1992 - 1994
Weird Science [m] (Superior) 20 issues in 1950 - 1953
Weird Science - Intégrale (Akileos) 2021
Weird Science-Fantasy (EC) 2 issues in 1952 - 1953
Weird Science-Fantasy [b] (Russ Cochran) 1 issue in 1982
EC Weird Science (Riedl Verlag) 1 issue in 2023 - Present
Weird Science-Fantasy [m] (EC) 7 issues in 1954 - 1955
Weird Science Annual (Gemstone) 5 issues in 1994 - 1997
Weird Science Illustories [m] (Cartoon Art) 1 issue in 1952
Weird Science-Fantasy [m] (Russ Cochran) 7 issues in 1992 - 1994
Weird Science-Fantasy Annual (Gemstone) 2 issues in 1994 - 1995
EC Archives: Weird Science [b] (Dark Horse) 3 issues in 2022 - Present


I'll end it...
kind regards, pinekop
