The publication date as printed on or in the comic, except with the name of the month (if any) spelled out.

We also spell out seasons, expand two-digit years to four. Don't know if this should be all mentioned in the form or just use a link to the style portiong.

The help strings cannot cover everything. For more, there are the links.

The help strings cannot cover everything, but the things they do say should be correct. The publication date is recorded per our style, not "as printed on or in the comic, except with the name of the month (if any) spelled out."
