as found in the indicia (generally at the bottom of the
first page); however, "The" is deleted from the beginning of
titles so that "The Batman" would be listed as just
"Batman."

|
Issue Number
|

volumes are only listed when they differentiate various
runs. In the past comics would change volume numbers each
year without interruption in the issue numbering. More
recently, new volumes often begin their numbering with a new
#1.

|
Date
|
|
as in the indicia; however, when no month could be found,
the date is listed the same as other comics sold in the same
month. When no month could be determined, I have arbitrarily
and temporarily listed these books as "January."

similarly, where art was done in rough layouts by one
