DATABASE COLLECTIONS

  • Grand Comic Book Database
    The Grand Comic-Book Database Project (GCD) is a volunteer project with the goal of documenting and indexing all comics for the free use of scholars, historians, researchers, and fans. Multiple search options are available, and a huge number of cover images can be viewed together with autorship information for individual comic books.

  • Mike's Amazing World of DC Comics
    The name of Mike Voiles's website is both accurate (it is amazing) and misleading (it's by no means about DC comics only anymore). His illustrated database is a real treasure trove, so be prepared to spend more than just a few minutes there. Especially cool: The Newsstand, where you can travel back in time and see what was on available in any given year and month.
