What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
1.1.9, Ubuntu 12.10

Please provide any additional information below.
I suspect comictagger doesn't like the ½ (Unicode?) character in the filename.

I confirmed the ComicTagger GUI will pull the 1/2 Unicode character from 
ComicVine fine. For example look up the first issue of "Tommi Gunn" (London 
Night Studios; the actual date is 11/96 but ComicVine doesn't have it) listed 
as issue "1/2".
