#12 = A-1 #101
#13 = A-1 #104
#14 = A-1 #117
#15 = A-1 #135

Ditto
Undercover Girl #5 = A-1 #62
Manhunt #13 = A-1 #63
Jet Powers #1 = A-1 #30
Jet Powers #2 = A-1 #32
Jet #3 = A-1 #35  (no ads in this scan)
Jet #4 = A-1 #38  (no ads in this scan)
Great Western #11 = A-1 #127
Cave Girl #12 = A-1 #96
Cave Girl #13 = A-1 #116

Like on the GCD this series is a conundrum to deal with. On one hand it is the continueing A1 series but books are labeled as series within. People looking for it one way may miss it the other. Which is why it is one of the few GCD lists twice with a dupe.

Hi Jon,
I've got a few A-1 books in a folder on the FTP waiting for me to figure out just how to name them.
Personally I lean towards using the COVER number and having the A1 issue number in brackets.
ie-  Undercover Girl 05 [A1#062]
Manhunt 13 [A1#063]
Jet Powers 01 [A1#033]

I think collectors are likely looking for titles more than wanting the series in the order ME published them.

What do you guys think?  It's a project I've had on hold for months trying to avoid it.   :-\

Yeah like I said same problem at GCD. If we use cover series most would be unsorted in ME because few even go four issues. But if we put them all together under A1 they would still be unsorted there. We cannot anticipate the knowledge of our user. GCD goes for indicia primarily and have such as a pretty hard rule. I think most looking here would probably go by cover title. I say go with the cover title and put A1# in brackets. We can make categories for the series with at least 4 in ME. Alternative would be to make an A1 category with individual sub categories but am not sure how many would know to look there.

Myself, I like the idea of title then the A1#, it's easier to find the book you want. The other way is just to confusing to me if you didn't know the numbering of/on them.
