The GCD encourages contributions from everyone who is interested.  The easiest way to contribute is to report errors through our [http://maelstrom.walton.uark.edu/errors/ Error Tracker]] or to upload cover scans.  The primary way for folks to contribute is to become an Indexer and add data for comics we don't yet have.  Indexers may eventually become Editors, who review the work of Indexers and the incoming error reports and make corrections to existing data.

Welcome to the Grand Comic-Book Database!

Or really, welcome to our documentation! If you're looking for the actual database it's at http://www.comics.org.

The Grand Comic-Book Database (GCD) is an ongoing international project to build a detailed comic-book database. Any questions you have that aren't covered here can be directed to the GCD Contact email list.

Info about the GCD

The best way to learn about the GCD is to join our email lists, especially gcd-main which is where the day-to-day business of our project is discussed. We welcome new people! These links will provide some additional information:
