Looks like this is a mess in the database. There were two versions of this comic. One is a regular $2.95 comic format edition, while the other is a $5.95 prestige format edition.

The $2.95 version is listed in the database as a comic, except the image scan is for the $5.95 version.

The $5.95 version is listed in the database as a graphic novel/trade.

I'm thinking the prestige vs comic format is similar to their Dick Tracy (1990) series that Disney also put out the same year. I think the graphic novel/trade title should be invalidated. I have the $2.95 version in-hand, so I can submit that as a variant to the $5.95 prestige version.

*I* would create a "B" variant for the title, move the $5.95 Prestige image to that listing (and credits...) and put "Prestige Format" in the caption. Then I would change the image and information for the standard version. And invalidate the Graphic Novel version.

Question: should the Prestige Format be the A variant? This is how they are laid out for the Dick Tracy title. I know the database likes the most common version to be the A entry, but I'm not sure which one that would be. I wasn't paying attention to these titles back then to know for sure.

I don't know that it really matters all that much. We don't have a hard-and-fast rule for this, as far as I know.

The graphic novel has been invalidated and the regular variant has been approved. Thanks.

I thought those prestige books collected the two issue minis of some Disney titles. Not sure what the prestige has extra. If it does, it's a separate title because different content. If not, variants may be fine.

Between comic.org and mycomicshop, they show the regular and prestige format versions of Arachnophobia both having the same page count (68 pages).
