What I meant was I had comments from readers that there was no author displayed, just the title or file name. Unlike with the kepubs. It would make sense there's no metadata on cbz because it's basically some images in a zip archive...

And I should stop there. I don't read comics and, beyond some experiments, haven't truly explored the best way to handle them.
The Kobo readers seem to be able to do the same, i.e. they will give the file name, which if meaningful contains the title at least. I may look into metadata plugins: if the data can be downloaded and that process automated in some way, that would be useful in future.
