There have been a few others posting about the lack of classics illustrated correctness in ClZ. Some have been answered and some not. Basically the issue is this… classics illustrated collecting is not like collecting other series where you might have a second or third print. Some Classics Illustrated have as many as 25 printings. Some Collectors try to get each of the printings so just having original and reprint as many issues have in the app, it just doesn’t work for collectors of the series. Sometimes you can go by hrn (highest reprint number) and sometimes you have to go by both hrn and date, sometimes hrn and price, and sometimes the distinguishing factor is cover stiffness. I’m not even a really serious classics collector like my dad is and CLZ doesn’t work for my collection. I started trying to input it and 10/10 comics were missing from the app.
So the best place of information I know of comes from the over street comic book price guide. Here are the pages with the information that would make CLZ usable for collecting the American version of Classics Illustrated.
Issue 1b is hrn 169 which is printing 23 but that isn’t listed. 1c is listed as 25cent variant which is the same issue as either 1B or 1Q. 1d is 15 cent cover price which could be hrn 78-166 covering printing 10 through 21. 1H, 1L, 1P are correct. 1Q is printing 22 but it is not listed. And the abc… does not have them in order.
As you can see from 1 of the 169 issues how many errors and omissions there are, it is currently impossible to collect this series with the CLZ app.
I’m sorry Core is lacking the information you’re looking for regarding this series.
Please know you can always MANUALLY add any comics to your local database. So you at least have the correct information in your local database.
We strive to have this series listed in a correct manner. However I can’t put an exact date on that.
So my question is are you going to fix the missing comics? It’s been 3 weeks and I’ve seen no progress. I understand you can’t put an exact date on it but am I waiting in vain. I have no interest in manually adding hundreds of comics and want to know if I need to look at other comic collection companies.
Hi, in the process of correcting this. It’s a lot…now, that’s no issue but it won’t be finished quickly. Are there any specific issues in your collection that need fixing? All will be corrected eventually, I’d like to give the ones in your collection priority
Thanks for your offer but I have about 260 issues. I’ll just be patient and wait. I’m a teacher and it’s back to school time so I don’t have time to even add them right now. I also still have probably 10000 issues left in my collection to add that I don’t have time to do right now so I’m not too worried. I’m just glad it’s getting fixed. I’m sure all those who collect the comic will appreciate it.
