Product Description

No publication in the history of collecting has included more information on more comic books than the Standard Catalog of[registered] Comic Books. Years in the making, this is the "Manhattan Project" of comics collecting books, covering more than 180,000 comic books published in North America since 1900! The catalog lists not just the issue and after-market price, but also lists the writers and artists who created them as well. Plus, it includes the original print runs for thousands of comics, as well as the number of comics graded by Comics Guaranty Corporation. Every comic book has a checklist box for easy use as a handy collector's utility - and this book is great reading, with page after page of reviews of some of the most famous (and infamous) comics in history.

Customer Reviews

Better than Overstreet
Excellent reference work. This is the ultimate guide for collectors of all eras & genres of US comic books in an easy to use guide. It does lack colour photos of covers but it more than makes up for that with the sheer amount of information and useful non-cerebral articles. This is a book for those who actually enjoy collecting and READING their comics - financial value being a pleasant side issue. As I say better than the Overstreet guide because this is much less cerebral & dollar driven. If you love comic books - buy it!
