Blues & Soul		Blues and Soul issue no. 1 was dated Oct. 1967 if I remember rightly.

B&S was the successor to Home of the Blues which started in '66. There were 11 issues of
Home of the Blues, the first eight were mimeographed with glossy paper stapled covers.
The last three issues were professionally printed on glossy paper.

My original copies of Home of the Blues have long since disappeared but I think I have scans of the covers of most of them .. I'll see if I can find them.

... I've just had a look at the Wikipedia page .. they're wrong. The first issue of
Blues and Soul was John Abbey's twelfth publication but it didn't continue its
numbering from Home of the Blues, the first issue of B&S was no. 1.
I remember buying it at the news stall in Central Station in Glasgow. It's indelibly
imprinted in my memory as I had never expected to see such a specialist
magazine there .. previously it had been a case of scanning the small ads in
Record Mirror then sending off a postal order by snail mail.

Panic		It works for me .. I've no idea why it doesn't work for you.

Maybe it's something to do with the browser you're using .. I'm using Mozilla Firefox.

The first box has the drop down menu where you get things like writer, penciller etc.
Try it withuot touching the drop down box.
Just enter the comic's title in the blank box then hit "search"

Panic		"You can search the site by the letterer or inker, but not by the title of the comic?"

Of course you can search the database by title .. that's the default
http://www.comics.org/

1. Enter "Panic", or whatever the title is, in the blank box
2. click on the "search" button

That brings up
http://www.comics.org/series/name/PANIC/sort/alpha/
You then pick the exact title you're after.

You do have to have some knowledge of comics to get the most out of the GCD
but that applies to all databases.

Panic		RadoxTheGreen : "Perhaps (he says reluctantly as he knows what lurks in the loft) we should look at introducing a Comics World in the near future"

While I wouldn't say no to a Comics World being set up I really wonder if there's any point when
the incredible Grand Comics Database exists -
http://www.comics.org/

Panic was both a comic and a magazine
EC issued 12 issues of the comic (1954-1956) then relaunched the title in the larger format
in 1958.
