Just found a new site called comiccollectorlive.com It's basically a comic collector community. You can buy, sell, and trade with other collectors.

The coolest thing, though, is a program they have to organize your collection. Here's the features:

* 100% FREE software!
* Organize all your comics!
* Download entire issue runs (no typing, no hassle)!
* Create a Wish List that notifies you when the comic is available!
* Group comics by event, title, writer, artist, story line, etc…
* Buy or sell with the click of a button!
* Store your collection locally on your machine!
* Lightning fast pricing updates and appraisal!

I'm playing around with it now. If any of you guys have used it already, let me know how you like it.

EXALT!

If I were an admin I'd super-exalt you. And I don't even believe in super-exalts. (That's cheating, man.)

I haven't had a chance to look at this yet, but if it works as advertised it is going to save me so much time. I'd been doing this in Excel and it's a bitch.

I downloaded it last night.

WARNING: THE PROGRAM AND SUBSEQUENT INSTALLS TAKE A LONG TIME on a phone line connection. I set it up last night at 9:00 and it was still doing it's thing at 11:30. I went to bed and left it chugging along throughout the night.

After I set it up I'lll let you know how it is.

Yeah, I figured if you were on dial up it might take a while. It's essentially an online database.

Shit. Can the software work on my computer without be being hooked up to the net? All I'm looking for is a way to catalog my comics without using an excel spreadsheet

I'm not sure if you can skip the "check for updates" step and all that at the beginning. I have DSL, so that's not an issue for me.

I've been fooling around with it a little, and right now I don't think it's for me. It only has a space each for writer(s), artist(s), and editor(s). There's no way to tell if someone was the penciller, the inker, or if two artists actually worked on two different features in the same book, or if one was the cover artist. It alphabetizes multiple artists, so you don't even get a clue from the order. For instance, on the early 80's X-Men the artists are listed as "Terry Austin and John Byrne." Which gave me a chuckle.

There's no way to tell if there were multiple features in a book or what the story title or titles were. It's just not doing it for me, I think I'm gonna stick with Excel. I sure appreciate the thought, though, Pun.
