Question:
Does anyone know where I could find a information on Superman and
other DC comic books? I need specific information such as Cover
Price, Issue Date, Artists, Character App. ect. for each issue.
I need this information to complete a comic book database that I
am working on.
Can anyone help?
Answer:
If you don't already have these sources, I would suggest:
1) The Comic Book Price Guide by R.M.Overstreet
This is released annually (?I think) and is mostly
a guide to the current market value of comics. Although I
wouldn't necessarily assume the market value is correct in any
given case, the guide does have its uses. It is fairly
exhaustive. It doesn't contain all the information you're
looking for, but it does usually list character appearances
and usually artist/writer. Some interesting tidbits of
info get thrown in as well.
2) The Great Superman Book by Michael L. Fleisher
This may be hard to find, but it details every issue of
Superman and Action Comics up until sometime in the sixties.
There is a similar book by Fleisher on Batman.
