Hi Justin…I just looked at these, and I think the additions need to be corrected, as many of them don’t seem to be implemented.

Issue 4: Cover artist is listed as Bill Elder, but it is actually Harvey Kurtzman

Issue 6: “Artist Writer” is listed at an Artist, but it is missing Bill Elder and Jack Davis; Writer is missing Ernest Lawrence Thayer.

Issue 8: Harvey Kurtzman is missing as a writer. “Artist Writer” is listed at an Artist, but it is missing Bill Elder and Jack Davis

Issue 9: “Editor Writer” is listed at an Artist, but it is missing Bill Elder and Jack Davis. Harvey Kurtzman is also missing as a writer

Issue 10: Basil Wolverton is missing as an Artist, as are Jack Davis and Bill Elder

Issue 12: Harvey Kurtzman is missing as a Writer. Under Penciller, “Editor Writer” is listed, but Bill Elder and Bernie Krigstein are not

Issue 15: “Artist Writer” is listed at an Artist, but it is missing Bill Elder and Jack Davis. Bill Gaines is listed as Writer instead of Harvey Kurtzman. I have no idea if Gaines wrote for this issue.

Issue 16: “Artist Writer” is listed at an Artist, but it is missing Bill Elder and Jack Davis

Issue 19: “Editor Writer” is listed at an Artist, but it is missing Bill Elder and Jack Davis

Issue 21: “Editor Writer” is listed at an Artist, but it is missing Bill Elder and Jack Davis

Issue 23: “Editor Writer” is listed at an Artist, but it is missing Wally Wood and Jack Davis

Also, if possible, can we correct the cover dates for these issues?

Do you have any proof of this? There’s not much info I can find on the creator side

Aside from the fact that I own most of these issues, you can see the listings in mycomicshop.com . They have a pretty robust record of dates and creators.

But for some of the edits I point out, those seem like typos, relative to “Editor Writer” being listed as a name.

Got it, I’ll start correcting and adding them on Monday and keep working on this during the week
