NEW IN COMICBASE 2024

The world’s #1 program for managing comic collections is now bigger, faster, and more powerful than ever before!

ComicBase 2024 brings collectors detailed information and current market pricing for more than a 1.25 million comics, as well as millions more books, magazines, and newspapers. This vast store of information allows collectors to simply track the issues they have, get accurate values for their collection’s worth, and use checkists, reports, and more to manage even the largest collections.

NEW IN THIS EDITION:


  • The World’s Largest Database of Comics

    Bigger than ever before! Includes listings and current prices for over 1,250,000 comics, plus over 3 million book, magazine, and newspaper listings.

  • NEW! Streamlined Setup and Installation

    Get going in minutes with a simplified installer which automatically downloads everything you need without the need for separate picture installers. We’ve particularly streamlined ComicBase Archive Edition’s setup, getting Archive users up and running with over a million cover images at their fingertips in mere minutes--with greatly decreased disk space requirements, and without the traditional need for separate picture downloading and installation.

  • NEW! Turbo Download of New Covers (Archive Edition)

    Archive Edition users can have new covers downloaded as part of the weekly update, and a new "Turbo Download" option makes this download dramatically faster by quickly downloading smalller thumbnail images of all the new items, and instantly replacing them with brilliant, full-size images the moment you interact with any comics of interest.

    You’ll save time and disk space, while getting higher quality images of the comics you care about than ever before. Magic!

  • NEW! Almost 4 Million Creator Credits (Pro, Archive Editions)

    ComicBase’s vast index of creators has now grown to almost 4 million credits, and ComicBase 2024 comes with a sweeping cleanup of that data, standardizing creator names so that you’ll see everything the creator has done--whether they signed a particular book as "Art Adams" or "Arthur Adams".

    We’ve even handled all the accents and diacritical marks that are part of the proper names of our favorite creators, whether they be George Pérez or Stjepan Šejić (and we’ll take you to the right creator credits, even if you don’t want to take the time to hunt down the special characters when you type!).

  • NEW! Search History

    By popular request: our new Search History icon keeps track of the titles and items you’ve searched for, and lets you instantly bounce back in time to previous searches.

  • Weekly Price and Content Updates

    Weekly content updates to keep your collection current with real market data to give you an accurate portrayal of your collection’s value, along with which comics in your collection gained or lost the most value each week.
