And unlike the offerings at academic archives and public domain archives like ComicBookPlus, DC and Marvel’s digital comics apps are not fully indexed. You can’t reliably search these archives by subject matter or genre and creator credits are often incomplete. 6/13

It’s always important to engage archives critically; whether corporate, academic, or fan-made, archives are political projects. But fan-made archives are indisputably an invaluable resource for fans and scholars, preserving art and knowledge in defiance of capitalistic neglect and distortion. 12/12

Both sites also include search features that clearly advertise archival impulses. ComicBook+ lets users filter search results by publication date, medium, genre/category, title, and publisher. The genre/category filter is particularly archival, evoking common principles of library science. 10/12

Per DCM: “All comics on this site have been individually researched by our staff and community members to verify that they are copyright-free & legally in the public domain.” And ComicBook+ has a banner graphic modelled after the Comics Code Seal stating they’ve been “Free & Legal” since 2006. 4/12

I'm not sure what this is from - I found it at comicbookplus years ago, but I will try to revert the image back to the full page for clues. The mechanical lettering is pretty distinct, and someone more well versed could recognize the company who did it this way pretty quickly.

I think I’ve seen similar books by Craig Yoe, but not that one. I do love digging through Golden Age comics on comicbookplus to find bonkers characters like these.

Luckily a lot of this HAS been unofficially digitised on ComicBookPlus, but I’d imagine anything more official would most likely be a Finest collection at this point. Are those digitised?

The sites have a similar mission and access model. Both sites assert the right for volunteer members to upload, host, and download digital scans of comic books and strips that have entered the public domain or otherwise become copyright-free, usually due to lapsed publishing rights. 3/12

Just gonna say again:

Thank God for Tubi and ComicBookPlus

This impulse toward preservation is also implied by the name of the Digital Comics Museum, and by the general ways in which both DCM and ComicBook+ catalog and present their materials. Both sites use subject tags and include publication and creator info for most of the materials they host. 9/12

Hilobrow is a delightful old-school website, complete with annoyingly clunky navigation.

This overlaps strongly with ComicBookPlus, but it's worth checking out, esp. if one or the other is inaccessible.

I recommend looking at the pulp sections on those sites, as the b/w illustrations have a lot of gaming potential.

#shakeyourclz In the old days, we relied on fanzines that printed black and white photos of old public domain comics. Nowadays, thankfully, there are scans at Digital Comics Museum and ComicBookPlus, and POD publishers like Gwandanaland on Lulu.com

there's this short story in The Beyond 2 (Ace Magazines) from 1951, predating The Blob by 7 years, called "Bubble of Destruction" and its got some of the most visceral descriptions of gore I've come across-- I always think how you'd like it whenever I go back and read it
