Thank you! So, since this character is the illustrator then the 600 and 700 are correct. Sarah

The context, however, must be that the fictitious entity is functioning in a role as creator (ch. 19), contributor (ch. 20), etc.; if the fictitious entity's role is only as subject of the resource, the RDA instructions do not apply.

Buck is the fictitious American engineer and adventurer who invented the steam-powered riverboat dirigible. This AF does not have the statement that is found in some other fictitious charactor as creator AFs e.g. ARN9436377 Richard Castle-- 667 SUBJECT USAGE: This heading is not valid for use as a subject; use a fictitious character heading from LCSH. Does that mean that under RDA this is changed? The OCLC record has both a 700 and 600 for Jonathan T. Buck. I have not been able to find anything in the RDA Toolkit but perhaps I am not searching effectively, I have just started using it.
