Snap any comic cover and know what you are holding. Whether you are flipping through a long box at a convention, sizing up a garage sale find, or sorting comics from the attic, this scanner answers the questions every collector asks: what is this comic, which printing, which variant, and what is it worth? IDENTIFY IN SECONDS Point your camera at any cover. The scanner reads the title, issue number and variant, then pulls up the publication details: release date, notable creators and publisher. You know what you have before you buy, sell or trade. SEE A VALUE RANGE Every identification comes with an estimated value range in US dollars, so a find can be judged on the spot. Key issue context flags the comics collectors care about, with a note on why each one matters. ASK ABOUT THE EXACT ISSUE Ask follow-up questions about any identification, from the app's own openers or your own words. Answers are about the exact issue on your screen and read as reference. KEEP EVERY SCAN ON ONE SHELF Each scan files itself into your library: a grid of covers headed by what the collection is worth. Search, filter and sort it, group it in folders, mark favorites and key issues, add notes for what only you know, and export the whole collection as CSV. YOUR SHELF, YOUR DEVICE Your saved collection stays on your device, and no account is required. HOW TO USE 1. Open the app and point your camera at a comic cover 2. Read the record: title, issue, variant, condition notes and value range 3. Ask a follow-up question or file the scan on your shelf Free to download. A few scans and questions are free; a subscription keeps identifying and answering past the free allowance. Download and find out what that comic in your hand is worth.
