Field notes
The homepage frames the project as a reference layer for disputed comic-book history rather than a valuation service. Its visible index claims 406,085 issues, 220,330 variant printings, 36,268 characters, and 112,588 credited creators. A sample entry connects Archie Andrews, Betty Cooper, and Jughead Jones to Pep Comics #22, while Veronica Lodge appears at Pep Comics #26. The site also separates first appearances from price-guide and census functions.
