Uh-oh
I haven't actually seen a graphic novel, believe it or not. I have just been thinking that all comic books are graphic novels. I think you explained this to me before Darb, but I need to go to the book store and see for myself so I will get it.
An example of a graphic novel omnibus is Neil Gaiman's Sandman (which is in the database).
An example of what not to enter would be one of the original individual first-run issues that preceeded the omnibus.
It's an awkward and imperfect line to draw between novels and comics, but that's where it currently is. That's not to say it may not change at some point in the future, if this place ever takes off in a big way.

I assume you are asking me to make sure he is up to date. I think we have most of his novels, and I am adding all the anthologies that I can find for him. Anthologies take me longer to add, but I should have him in pretty good shape in a couple of days.
I could add some of his short stories that are listed in IBlist.

Too bad I was there on the wrong night.
By the way, when I was there (this place), I picked up this book. Not bad. Not great, but not bad either.

We really need to get a touch tracking system going, so we can simply select an editor, enter a date range, and get a printout of everything added new, or modified ... then we could simply cut and paste this stuff.
