Classic Comic Store
Classic Comic Store publishers
Classic Comic Store Ltd'
Classics Illustrated

Looks like they are republishing all the old Classics Illustrated Line, which is very cool, but doesn't make them authors, but they've somehow been moved to first author position on a bunch of these. Ditto Classics Illustrated - there is a known adapter for almost all of these, so there's no need for fake authors.

So what needs doing:
1. Remove Classic Comic Store/Classics Illustrated as an author
2. Move the adapter to first position (with role)
3. Publisher seems to be Trajectory for the Comic Store ones.

Important: These are all adaptations. They don't contain the original text.

The adaptor's name should be first (check the other editions, you'll find it there somewhere usually). Don't put them back under the original author's name, or they will end up combined with the novel they are adapted from, and they are a nightmare to untangle again.

(If you're really energetic, go plough through the original novel's editions, because there is almost guaranteed more editions to separate and fix the authors to combine with these ones.)

(There is a database here with pretty reliable info on who adapted what (in the column "Story by", if you really want to do some research on these. http://dccomicsartists.com/classic%20...)

"Classic Comic Store Ltd'" didn't have any books listed. I've merged that profile.

"Classic Comic Store publishers" only had one book listed (A Christmas Carol). Corrected that one, and the other editions and combined all adaptations.
For this adaptation, Worldcat also listed the adapter.

Thanks Arenda, I have been working through them, I didn't actually check the other profiles (just saw them when I went to "add book/author")

I've added another "author" to the first post too.
