Re: Comics and periodicals, call for feedback: round 2 (was Re: Comics and periodicals in schema.org)

Does this mean that there's no field in which one can simply store the number of pages to an article/story?  In modern US comics, ads are interleaved with story pages and Marvel and DC in particular have gone through phases of barely allowing more than two or three consecutive pages without an ad being thrown in.  This is one reason why the GCD tracks page count instead of specific page numbers (although the latter has also been suggested).  GCD users are generally more interested in how long the story is rather than how much it was chopped up by ads.
