- Required for Story, Text Story and Text Article type, Optional for all others
- The name of the story, usually from the first page.
- If the story is part of a longer story then that information is included after the chapter title. It is included in square brackets if it is not actually listed on the page but can be inferred from the previous or next issue or an outside source (which should be noted in the Notes field). It is included as it is written in the book if it is actually on the page.
- Untitled stories can be handled in different ways depending on the situation. The preferred way is to use the first line of script (["First line of script..."]). They can also be listed as "[untitled]" or a title can be made up by the indexer ("[Made Up Title]").
- Some Types (such as Cover and Pinup) normally don't have titles. This field can be left blank for those or the most prominent piece of text can be used.
- The Title is helpful in identifying reprints or coverless comics, so using the first line of dialogue is preferred to making up a title.
- Examples:
* Clash of the Titans - Title is clearly written * [untitled] - No title given * [When Titans Clash] - Title made up by indexer based on content * ["It was a dark and stormy night..."] - First line of story used as title * Hercules Takes Revenge [When Titans Clash Part 47] - Story arc and title inferred * When Titans Doth Clash Chapter 4 - As written in the book
