In 1976 the first issue of 'L'echo de savanes special usa' was published, a spin-off of the weekly magazine 'L'Echo des savanes' that has been published since 1972.

Under the name 'L'echo des savanes special usa' are published from 1976 until 1982 24 issues.

In 1983 issue 25 appears under the name 'Special USA'. The next issue will appear under the same title but renumbered from 1. The magazine within the new count will run until the double issue 68/69 in 1993 and will change names two more times along the way: 'Special USA magazine' and 'USA magazine' .

How do I best bring these comics magazines into the catalog: All in 1 series? Split into 2 series (cf. new numbering)? Or a new series each time (in application of name change)? Please take your advice.

I would say under one title.

Ultimately, it's the same magazine. By splitting the volumes you still get a distinction.

Still, we split with real name changes. We just finished Sjors.

In case of a last number, we put at Particulars: Last number. Continued as xxxxx. And with a first number: First number. Continuation of xxxxx. (And where applicable: Numbering continues.)

Okay, I'm following BigBadArco's advice ;-). I see that there are already some USA numbers among the regular Echo-des-savanes magazines; I also include these when moving to the split series.

I'm not just saying it, of course. We always have to look beyond the Comics section. The Magazines section is automatically split and we want to be prepared that the magazines in the Comics section will ever be transferred to Magazines.

In the meantime, I have entered my magazines, each time under their respective title. The disadvantage is that this magazine, which has been renamed several times, is now completely fragmented in the catalog. And a reference under the section 'Particulars' does not help much. Is it an option to list all titles under which this comic magazine appeared in the 'Series / hero' section?

Looks great like this. In the meantime it has been arranged that those who search for one magazine automatically see the other in the results
