Removing Books that I didn't author
date

I assume there isn't another artist with the same name as you who also happens to be a comic artist, so presumably your name has been added on those records incorrectly (and on Amazon as well, you might want to get that corrected too), and the name should be removed rather than moved to a separate author profile?

I would not remove an author's name from a book unless I knew for sure it was a mistake. There are many, many people who share the same name even if it seems to be an uncommon one.
It may be a publisher auto-adding author and illustrator names when they didn't have anything to do with a particular book, but we have to have proof of that.

No changes have been made yet.
The first are a series of fishing books by a different author with the same name as me:

The second is an edition of Shakespeare's The Tempest that I had nothing to do with (note: I did illustrate an adaptation of The Tempest, but not this one):

The third are a number of comics that I didn't author or illustrate:
