Hello and happy New Years Eve :). I wanted to ask if CLZ plans to go ‘all in’ on listing ‘comics-adjacent’ magazines [for lack of a better phrase]. Specifically I’m referring to the 70’s Kids magazines Dynamite, Bananas, and “KIDS Magazine” [the 70’s title started by Jennette Kahn]. They each have comic-related features but don’t know if they quite ‘fit’ CLZ Comics or not. I ask because I noticed the following random 5 issues of Bananas are in fact in the core. Fine either way, just need to know - if ‘no’ I’ll likely remove these 5 just to stay consistent with what I track. Thanks!
I understand the question, still these aren’t comics in the traditional sense.
I would advice to manually add these to your local database instead.
Ok thank you very much @CLZ_Rowdy !
Was about to edit Rowdy’s reply but you responded already

These aren’t comics in the traditional sense, however because these are in the same category as MAD magazine we have added this to core. This would be the same “guideline” we’d like to compare other magazines to. We are now adding the missing entries to the Bananas title. Since there isn’t much info, these entries are going to be pretty bare bone data-wise. I would advice to manually add the others unless you can find a source (preferably comics.org) with good data and covers. Wouldn’t say we’d go all in on magazines as there is much more to do in core before we can branch out into other territories 
Ah okay, thank you @CLZ_Justin ! I would presume Dynamite Magazine from the 70s would fit in this category as well? Just want to be sure before I start scanning 100+ covers lol! Should I wait until you guys have added what you have on Bananas and then fill in gaps? The only other mag I would wonder about is KIDS Magazine from 1970-75, started by Jennette Kahn of DC fame. It has quite a few comics in it, similar to Dynamite/Bananas, and in fact Kahn started Dynamite also. Just let me know what makes sense, again I don’t want to spend a lot of time if a title won’t be covered. Thanks!

Bananas is already complete in core

Um, wow, never mind on Bananas - looks like you guys just mass-added everything :). Wow, that’s fantastic! I will send some info later about 2-3 additional yearbooks that were outside of the numbering. This is great!! Thank you very much. Should I anticipate the other 2 mags I mentioned or just leave those off for now?
Dynamite Magazine & KIDS Magazine are fine. I see Dynamite has 165 issues. Maybe send the covers to us in a folder? Entries for that series have already been added. Couldn’t find much info on KIDS Magazine.
Thanks @CLZ_Justin ! I’ll work on the Dynamite covers as I have time and will send them to you guys. I’m not surprised you didn’t find KIDS, it is somewhat obscure although it’s historic - Jennette Kahn’s first magazine. It actually has some features that were later repeated in Dynamite. Thanks again!!
