Publisher Name Inconsistency [80s Red Circle/Archie]

The vast majority (46 individual issues) of the 1980s Red Circle titles show “Archie Comics Publications” as publisher in the CLZ core, however 12 individual issues are listed with different publisher names. While the 2 alternatives are probably legit in some ways I assume they should all be listed the same. Here are the 12 issues:

  • Mantech Robot Warriors - all 4 issues, publisher listed as “Archie Enterprises, LLC”
  • The Original Shield - all 4 issues, publisher listed as “Archie Enterprises, LLC”
  • The Black Hood - all 3 issues, publisher listed as “Red Circle Comics Group”
  • Thunder Bunny, Vol. 1 - one-shot, publisher listed as “Red Circle Comics Group”

One other detail that might be helpful - here are the other Red Circle / Archie Adventure titles from the 80s (with # of issues in parenthesis). Again, all of these show “Archie Comics Publications” as the publisher.

  • Blue Ribbon Comics, Vol. 2 (14)
  • Comet (2)
  • The Fly (9)
  • Katy Keene Special (1)
  • The Mighty Crusaders (13)
  • The Shield (3)
  • Steel Sterling, Vol. 2 (4)
