This fully searchable and sortable database includes information on creator credits, story details, and other information. It contains non-English language comics and English language comics. It is an index to printed comic books only. It was created by a nonprofit, Internet-based organization of international volunteers. Note that currently the GCD is effectively a database for comic books, rather than a database for comics, because it is limited to books and periodicals (of any size or binding) whose contents are 50 or more comics art. We are currently in the process of exploring how to add newspaper comics to our project, and other kinds of printed comics such as magazine cartoons may follow. At this time, web comics are outside of the Charter. This index contains many images of cover art. All cover images are copyrighted by their respective current copyright holders. (Updates ongoing)
