Is this a series? Should "Hinkler" editions remain separate or do they need to be combined?

Same question for this series:
https://www.goodreads.com/series/1242...
Is this a valid series?
These looks like comics, so I think they should not be combined with the books. Some are combined.

I have no problem doing the combining/separating. When these series are not valid, please do not delete them until the combining is done.

Philip (burnnerman) | 5912 comments #1 - Deffinitely not a series.

#2 - Do not believe that should be a series.

On the combining it is hard to say without see the books, but I believe from other threads that if it is a comic and not the book, it should not be combined.

Also, I think the author needs to be fixed on almost all of the books.

The Hinkler ones should have the original author first, from my understanding.

The other's I am not sure, what to do about the authors.

Those are both imprints and should be deleted. They all appear to be adaptations, which means the adaptor should come first, and they should not be combined with other versions of the work.

Philip (burnnerman) | 5912 comments Thanks, was not sure about the author thing, since all teh Hinkler ones showed just the Original Author name on the cover.

I will leave it up to Arenda if they want to deal with all the separating, otherwise I will try and get to it a little later.

Thank you.
I'll start separating the ones that are combined.
