Just a note that I did a bit
Just a note that I did a bit of sub editing on these two black flag issues. Whole issues of magazines, we should just basically tag them with the name of the publication, and if they are just on one issue then with the relevant tag. But if they cover lots of topics with lots of different authors, then we shouldn't add all of the topic and author tags.
