Going back to the earlier comment "I was going by standard scanning practice which counts the cover as page 1,"...
Is there a 'standard' scaning practice? I always start with page00fc... page00ifc... page01..., with, of course, the comic's name & number in place of 'page'.
A few publishers did number pages starting with the fc (eg fawcett, street&smith) for a while, but most used the standard 1-64, and page numbers mostly diappeared when comics began shrinking.
I've seen that some scanners do use generic scan01, scan02 etc...; maybe it's easier that way, but is it a 'standard', or just the default way that scanning software numbers scans? To me, 'scan01 and 'page01' are two different things.
