Greetings to one and all.  Herein is a site devoted to one of my favorite endeavors:  comics indexing. I've had several such indexes published and been consultant on others, and have been compiling these sort of things for about as long as I've been a fan.  I find them useful and quite a bit of fun, so if you're into super-heroes, particularly those of the Silver Age, you might give these a try...there's a lot of information in them, and a lot of detail on comics that you may never have had the chance to read, or some old favorites that you have.  Or perhaps you're just curious about the history of some long- or short-running heroes, as I've been.

These indexes aren't meant to infringe upon the copyright owners to the characters, nor are they meant to compete with already-published indexes such as George Olshevsky's Marvel indexes, or Murray Ward's DC indexes for ICG and Marvel indexes.  In some cases, such as in the Legion of Super-Heroes index, my entries begin where their publications left off.  So if you want information about the Justice League, the Teen Titans, Hawkman, the Doom Patrol, or most of the earlier Marvel heroes...buy their books!

Many thanks to those who have loaned books or provided information, among them Murray Ward, Mark Waid, and Mike Tiefenbacher.  And in passing, I'll mention my fan-fict site, DarkMark's Domain, where you'll find unofficial prose stories covering a large number of these heroes and others.   Plus I've started a reprint indexing site here.  Check them out, and thanks!

I'm also looking for data on missing books, so you might check out my Data Wants page if you think you can help.
