About

My Comics Collection

Read full description

My Comics Collection turns a stack of comics into a collection you are on top of. SCAN IT, IT IS FILED The barcode on the back is enough. Series, issue number, date and creators come in on their own. No barcode on older issues? Search covers a catalog of several million issues. WHAT YOU ARE MISSING, AT LAST VISIBLE For every series you follow, the app lists the issues you do not own. You know what to look for before you walk into the shop, and you stop buying the same issue twice. WHAT YOUR COLLECTION IS WORTH Record what you paid and the grade of each copy, and follow the value of the whole. Estimates lean on observed sales, not on a promise. KEY ISSUES AND GRADED COMICS Mark your key issues, record grading scores, signed copies and variants. YOUR COVERS, YOUR PHOTOS Photograph your own copies: that is your print run, with its flaws and its variants, not a stock image. UPCOMING RELEASES Follow your series and get the release calendar, week by week, publisher by publisher, with a reminder on release day. ARTICLES, INSIDE THE APP Buying guides, valuation, series history: it all reads here, without leaving the app. YOUR PROGRESS Ranks, tiers and trophies: the collection moves forward, and it shows. Your collection is yours. Export it whenever you want, and delete your account from the settings. A My Comics Collection account is required to manage your own collection. You can explore a demo collection without one.
