When creating character or index profiles have there been times when two stories contradict each other (beyond different clothing/dialogue) but can't been explained away by alternate realities/successor characters or other simple means, and you've just had to gloss over the contradiction to avoid a really complicated explanation?
I think that might have happened with Brother Voodoo and the death of one of his supporting characters.

Re: The Official Handbooks General Q&A Thread
Given that when Barry Windsor-Smith drew Conan, he gave him the same look that he previously did Starr the Slayer, could Marvel still use Starr with the same look, since Marvel published the Starr story first?

Re: The Official Handbooks General Q&A Thread
Oh, hello! Anybody still here? Thought of another question: the most recent "full set" of Handbooks, the A-Z from 2008-2010 (wow, 15 years old already) later got a softcover edition in 2012, which I've heard has some differences from the hardcovers. Could you give me a run-down on what those are, or just "cliff notes" if it's a whole lot?
Thanks.

Re: The Official Handbooks General Q&A Thread
The softcovers only reprinted the first 5 volumes of the hardcovers before the series was cancelled. The major difference is that each softcover volume adds 16 pages of profile updates in the back. Other changes are pretty minor. RVCousin made a list of the changes in Vol. 1, and changes in the other 4 volumes are similar.
