The Grand Comic-Book Database and the goal to 'contain information on every
comic book ever published'.
The newly formed GCD grew slowly, using the new medium of e-mail to canvass friends and acquaintances from APA-I as well as other contacts in
comics fandom. Early work consisted of indexing information, setting goals, and deciding on file structure. Information was distributed on floppy discs and via surface mail. The use of e-mail to canvass friends and acquaintances from APA-I as well as other contacts in

The use of e-mail to knit together the group through constant communication has proved important to this day. There had been several previous attempts to set up similar groups that did not have this advantage. The original file structure has changed, and data distribution and collection methods are now almost exclusively over the internet. It is one of several online databases of
comic book information, with the aim that this database will be easy to understand, retrieve information from, and contribute to. The GCD project is cataloging information on creator credits, story details, reprints and other information useful to the
comic book reader, comic collector, fan, and scholar. The GCD is a non-profit organization incorporated in Arkansas.

I'm just getting back into collecting comic books again. Does anyone know of a good comic book database that is updateable? I'm running Windows Vista. I want something preferably in a retail box on a physical CD-ROM. Trying to avoid downloads if I can. Suggestions are appreciated.
I used to use something called "The Comic Collector (?) by Ablesoft, I believe was the company's name. Does anyone know who makes that software now?

I've been searching, but with no luck. Free or fee, it doesn't matter. If anyone has used said programs, all the better.
