Aman619 Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 hi. Im cataloging all my Copper and Modern books, and rather than scan them all, is there a website (either dealer or collection organizer) that has scans of all comics published? Including variants, 2nd 3rd etc printings?? AND where the snakes are not lo res that you cant read the print? Ive tried GoCollect, ComicCollector but they have a lot but not all. Free is preferred but Id pay a fee to access everything. thanx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steelrain41 Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 I use CLZ comics to catalogue my collection and it has all the pictures of the covers. There's been a few rare comics that weren't in there that I had to manually add but if I read your question right I think it will help you out.

Aman619 Posted March 4, 2020 Author Share Posted March 4, 2020 thanx does it include the 80s b/w garbage etc? I noticed that Overstreet doesn't have many of the indie comics published over the years. Im not surprised really, just that SOMEONE must be trying to be all inclusive! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffro. Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 Have you tried comics.org? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aman619 Posted March 4, 2020 Author Share Posted March 4, 2020 yes. Comics.org has what appears to be everything. problem was the scans are lo res. The details that determine a variant, or 2nd printing etc are hard to see or read. I know expecting hi res scans of everything is probably not out there, but I figured you guys would know if it exists! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I downloaded the CLZ desktop version and took a look around. It really does everything! Scans are soft though, so not a solution I was hoping for. (also the small insets are the same scans as the larger popup images when you click on them... so bigger image but same detail) But CLZ is a great reference - I can see why you recommended it. I created my own database and am hoping to add images (preferably in bulk) so an online solution would be more doable than a self-enclosed locked application Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're not going to find a high res equivalent (or anything close) to comics.org. I could be wrong but I don't think such a site exists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wardevil0 Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 I'm not sure how high resolution you want things to be, but Grand Comics Database (comics.org) is crowd-editable like Wikipedia. If the scan in the database isn't good enough to tell what's going on, you can upload a new one. There is something of a vetting process to become a contributor, but I would think adding to a publicly accessible database would be preferable to doing all that work just for yourself.

Aman619 Posted March 5, 2020 Author Share Posted March 5, 2020 (edited) yes it would. But Im trying to have scans at my "fingertips": meaning a click away, and not have to manually scan 1000s of comics! What Im after is to be looking at my copy in my database, with all its data but without a scan, and click once and SEE the book. I haven't figured out their system in order to solve that. the urls are not predictive or scriptable, or they might be with a lot more trial and error. Makes me wish I only had one magazine box of comics!! Edited March 5, 2020 by Aman619 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
