Resources

A list of articles needing cleanup associated with this project is available. See also the tool's wiki page and the index of WikiProjects.

Good databases:

• Grand Comics Database - good breadth and depth. Templates: {{gcdb}} and {{gcdb series}}
• Comic Book DB - similar good coverage with a cleaner and more accessible front end. Template: {{comicbookdb}}
• Big Comic Book DataBase - useful as a back-up but coverage isn't as wide but it may be deeper for some titles
• CBDB - another option but a bit less user-friendly

Useful for news, reviews and interviews:

• Newsarama - good for news updates and announcements as well as interviews
• Comic Book Resources - ditto
• Silver Bullet Comic Books (soon to change its name - possibly through confusion with Silver Bullet Comics - we've had problems with that see the deletion at Silver Bullet Comics)
• Broken Frontier - can be another useful source for reviews
