Holyoke is a Myth...
OtherEric:
One other thing about Sparkling Stars that I always find interesting: I'm pretty sure it's the last book to stay at 68 pages for a dime. Heck, even starting at that size was unusual in 1944, and by 1948 at least some publishers were down to 36 pages. Just another oddity to note.

Wish I had an answer for your "Holyoke One Shot" question, bchat. Mine are (dum du dum dum...) upstairs...
As for putting the books where they (historically) belong, we do it for Blue Beetle, don't we? You find the Holyoke issues under Holyoke and the Fox issues under Fox and the Charlton issues under Charlton. There may, indeed, be some confusion due to this, but (I was going to say that you'd find them all if you searched on "Blue Beetle", but every time I tried I got the following:

so I have no idea if it will work. Oddly enough, I get a similar error when searching for Blue Beetle on GACUK. Bizarre!!!)
Getting back to the question of where to file the books, I believe that in the end it's better to be accurate and let folks adapt and learn the real history than it is to cater to the "myths" of comic legends. YMMV.

will look into the error...
Captain DJ:
Ok error is caused by 5 comics in the system that are not linked to any category. Finding these 5 comics out of 8600 odd entries might take me little time.
BTW Blue search term works fine, its beetle that is the problem :-\
