Database Cleanup

Creators

Other cleanup chores

  • Problem series that need to be worked on (this is an old list that used to be for Editors only)

New indexes and skeletons to add

Daily and Sunday comic strip indexes

Art checklists

Other Databases

There are many sites with databases of comics from all over the world - if you are interested in adding books from specific countries, languages or publishers, the links found in Useful indexer links will come handy.

Publisher Updates

  • A page on Publishers has been started in the wiki. The page and its additional information is incomplete.
  • A useful project would be to complete these pages.
  • Some of this information belongs on the GCD Publisher page and can be transcribed there.
