Begun in 1992 by Peter Bickford, ComicBase is a popular program for tracking comic book collections, as well as the world’s largest published database of comic books. As of 2005, its version 10 software included listings on over 265,000 individual comic books—virtually every English-language comic pubished since the late 1800s. The database is loaded with millions of notes, creator credits, and current pricing (provided by Comics Buyer's Guide). Comics Buyers Guide (CBG) is the longest-running periodical reporting on the comic book industry. ...
Users of the software can simply select issues from this database and mark the quantity and condition of the comics they own, enabling even very large collections to be tracked with minimal data entry. As of 2005's Version 10 software, they can also download new pricing and titles, allowing users to keep their collections up to date as new comics are released.
ComicBase 10 exists in two editions: a Standard Edition on two CDs, and an expanded Archive Edition on two DVDs, containing over 12 GB of content. The DVD Archive Edition includes over 100,000 comic cover scans, as well as video interviews with noted comic creators such as Frank Miller, Julius Schwartz, and Mark Waid.
ComicBase lists over 18,000 comic titles from the 1890's to the present, ranging from manga to mini-comics, sword-and-sorcery to super-heroes, along with thousands of write-ups and cover illustrations.
ComicBase also stands as the world's largest and most complete comic book price guide, with current and historical pricing on each of its 225,000+ issues.
