Hopefully. Thanks for the update.

Not sure if this is the right place to ask this question, but here I go:

I'm currently indexing all of my Hellboy (and related) books and just for the sake of it I want to list information about the printing # (mostly only for the trade paperbacks and some hardcovers, so not for single issues/floppies.

Since different publishers use different methods I found it impossible to find out on my own just by searching for info online.

Anyone in on how Dark Horse does this?

Some examples from my TPB collection:

Hellboy: Seed Of Destruction
First Edition: October 1994
Second Edition: June 1997
Third Edition: November 2003
10 9 8 7 6 5 4 -> I guess a 4th printing?

Hellboy: Wake The Devil
First Edition: May 1997
Second Edition: November 2003
10 9 -> I guess a 9th printing?

Hellboy: The Chained Coffin And Others
First Edition: August 1998
Second Edition: November 2003
13 15 17 19 20 18 16 14 12 -> No idea...

Hellboy: The Right Hand Of Doom
First Edition: April 2000
Second Edition: November 2003
10 9 8 7 -> I guess a 7th printing?

Hellboy: Conqueror Worm
