The EC Archives series of books is a mess

The EC Archives series of trade paperbacks and hardcovers seem like a random mess of titles.

3011674

For example, The EC Archives: Tales from the Crypt. These volumes can be found mixed up in these series titles

  1. EC Archives: Tales From The Crypt
  2. EC Archives: Tales From The Crypt (EC)
  3. EC Archives: Tales From The Crypt HC / TP

Another example, The EC Archives: Shock SuspenStories.

  1. Shock SuspenStories (Archives)
  2. EC Archives: Shock Suspenstories TP
  3. EC Archives: Shock Suspenstories HC
  4. EC Archives: Shock Suspenstories. Vol. 2
  5. EC Archives: Shock Suspenstories. Vol. 1

I suspect that should be cleaned up one entry per with the Gemstone, GC Press and Dark Horse reprints as issues A, B, C if required. Or, as three series each split by publisher Gemstone, GC Press and DarkHorse. I’d love to see the series with The as a prefix with it removed in the sort title field.

Here is a Wiki entry with some publication years and ISBN numbers of the first prints.

I made a note of this. Can’t say when but it’s waiting to get corrected.
