1960s, when <a href="/wiki/Jerry_Bails" title="Jerry Bails">Jerry Bails</a> and <a href="/wiki/Howard_Keltner" title="Howard Keltner">Howard Keltner</a> put together some projects to catalogue the comic books of the "<a href="/wiki/Golden_Age_of_Comic_Books" title="Golden Age of Comic Books">Golden Age</a>". These efforts were Bails' <i>The Collector's Guide to the First Heroic Age of Comics</i>, and <i>Howard Keltner's Index to Golden Age Comic Books</i>, and their collaboration on <i>The Authoritative Index to DC Comics</i>. The next big step in organizing data about comic books was Robert Overstreet's <i><a href="/wiki/Overstreet_Comic_Book_Price_Guide" title="Overstreet Comic Book Price Guide">Overstreet Comic Book Price Guide</a></i>, which is still being published. This guide is sometimes referred to as the first best attempt to list factual information beyond the <a href="/wiki/Superhero" title="Superhero">superhero</a> comics. It was likely the first catalogue to get widespread distribution. Today there are several other <a href="/wiki/Comic_book_price_guide" title="Comic book price guide">comic book price guides</a>. </p><p>In 1978, the GCD's immediate predecessor, APA-I (<a href="/wiki/Amateur_press_association" title="Amateur press association">Amateur Press Alliance</a> for Indexing) was formed by a few fans who were interested in exchanging information on comic books in index form. These people were generally interested in either one of two things — either following the plot threads and <a href="/wiki/Continuity_(fiction)" title="Continuity (fiction)">continuity</a> of the stories, or the creator credits. APA-I is also still running, as a paper-based index. The organization publishes a quarterly magazine. APA-I members have gathered editorial records and conducted interviews with comic book professionals, to add to the information that could be gleaned from the books themselves. </p><p>In late 1993 and early 1994, three members of APA-I interested in comic books started up an e-mail correspondence. <a href="/w/index.php?title=Tim_Stroup&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Tim Stroup (page does not exist)">Tim Stroup</a>, <a href="/w/index.php?title=Bob_Klein_(comics)&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Bob Klein (comics) (page does not exist)">Bob Klein</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Jonathan_E._Ingersoll" title="Jonathan E. Ingersoll">Jonathan E. Ingersoll</a> soon began sharing indexing information in a common format using electronic media for storage and distribution. By March 1994, they had formed a new group to create an electronic version of APA-I related to comic books, giving it the name Grand Comic-Book Database and the goal to 'contain information on every comic book ever published'. </p><p>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 <a href="/wiki/Fandom" title="Fandom">fandom</a>. Early work consisted of indexing information, setting goals, and deciding on file structure. Information was distributed on <a href="/wiki/Floppy_disc" class="mw-redirect" title="Floppy disc">floppy discs</a> and via surface mail. 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 <a href="/wiki/Category:Online_databases" title="Category:Online databases">online databases</a> of comic book information. </p><p>In December 2009, a vote was held of the membership and it was decided to change the official name from "The Grand Comic-Book Database" to "The Grand Comics Database". </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Organization">Organization</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Grand_Comics_Database&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Organization"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The Grand Comics Database is a volunteer organization of hobbyists.

The database currently catalogues more types of information than originally intended, and the formats of presentation and data gathering have changed also. All data is available for research and use by the public at no charge. </p><p>The project is overseen by a board elected by the members. Decisions on changes are to be made by the board as directed by member consensus.

Casual users of the website also make contributions through an error reporting system. And, because several <a href="/wiki/List_of_comic_creators" class="mw-redirect" title="List of comic creators">comic book creators</a> are members, these creators often provide details on their own work or colleagues' work. </p><p>Several e-mail lists are maintained for communication of a variety of comic book-related information.

It also includes story information such as: title, feature of the story, genre of the story, page count, characters, and a short synopsis.

However, it includes small print run <a href="/wiki/Fanzines" class="mw-redirect" title="Fanzines">fanzines</a>, promotional giveaway comics, and <a href="/wiki/Minicomic" title="Minicomic">minicomics</a>. Although syndicated <a href="/wiki/Comic_strip" title="Comic strip">comic strips</a> are not indexed, listings include mentions of comic books reprinting newspaper strips. </p><p>Since 2004, comic book fans can index their favorite comic book using the convenience of a web-based interface. Anyone interested is encouraged to contribute, by using the interface, uploading a cover image scan, or even simply sending an e-mail with new information. The standards request that all indexing be done from an actual copy of the comic book, to ensure that data is verified upon entry. A group of editors then vets each entry before the information is added to the database. </p><p>The database currently has comic books from many countries representing over forty languages,<sup id="cite_ref-10" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-10"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>10<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> though United States issues represent the bulk of the data.
