It was likely the first catalog to get widespread distribution. This guide is sometimes referred to as the first best attempt to list factual information beyond the superhero comics. The next big step in organizing data about comic books was Robert Overstreet's Overstreet Comic Book Price Guide, which is still being published. Bails' The Collector's Guide to the First Heroic Age of Comics, and Howard Keltner's Index to Golden Age Comic Books, and their collaboration on The Authoritative Index to DC Comics. Jerry Bails and Howard Keltner put together some projects to catalog the comic books of the " Golden Age." These efforts were Dr. I've got other Omnibus books so I'm just see'ing who I can fill in from those who are still around.One of the earliest published catalogs of comic books appeared in the 1960s, when Dr. 1 #21 cover, when I originally only thought Dave Cockrum had worked on it, but it brought joy to Rubinstein to reminisce, also with Howard Chaykin and his work Marvel Team Up 77, Michael Golden with Avengers Annual 10, which I had no idea they had done the pencils in those books. It was fun talking with Joe Rubinstein about his Ms. I have a Captain Marvel OMNIBUS and I had at least 8 people who were in attendance at PHX Fan Fusion last year, who worked on a story in that book, some I didn't even know if I didn't have the info from CDB. I have a label machine and all the I get signed I put a label under the signature to identify who it is, which is work I do on my own but that I'd want to make sure I get them to sign my omnibus. If I knew certain inker's, interiors, cover artists worked on certain book somewhere in that run, say for instance 172. Let's say I have Wolverine Omnibus, of Volume 2 which is a a 308 book run. So one person may have just ink'd a story, in that OMNIBUS but not done much, I'd still like to get them signed in there. I like to take OMNIBUS books and get them signed. Then I'd do another name and so forth, and then I'd take the list I've written down and go to my collection and pull those out. CDB made it easy because it would show images to his variants, a lot of site would say variants but not show the picture, or if he ink'd a page. and write those down to pull out of my collection. I'd type of his name and all his books that he has ever worked on pop'd up, it would say books he has written, ink'd, colored, was a cover artist on and so forth, and I could just go down the list and be like, well I got this book, I got that book, etc etc. Well I for instance what I liked about CBD was that let's say for example, I saw on a convention site Month will get you some nice bells and whistles - import/export, sales tracking to source, etc.Īpologies folks for the self-promo, but this is, IMHO of course, a decent option. You don't have to pony up a dime - the Basic Account goes a long way. Working on Version 2.0 now behind scenes. It's almost "The 1990s called, they want their site back". Remember what I said about User Interface for ? Yeah. The other sites mentioned here are great, don't get me wrong, but our core pricing algorithm was written by a guy now doing machine learning at Google. Other sites often only provide values for items frequently sold, or the values drift too far from reality. This is not easy, and we work hard to get it right. * It will keep your collection value up-to-date with pricing superior to the other guys. * Nosto will let you track your entire collection - uncertified, CBCS, or even others we won't mention. If the latter, and with full disclosure I am heavily involved I recommend Nostomania. These guys have worked hard to assemble a lot of data for the community. Not a great user interface, but we can look past that. If the first, agree with is a huge and thorough database. uhhh now I'm actually going to have to work on finding out the - do you just need an overall reference site? Or are you looking to track your collection/inventory? I'm preparing my books for Convention season and I'm like. Anyone know any web sites similar to the now defunct Comic Book Database page?
