If in need of a tool to keep your comic collection organized and easily searchable, Collectorz.com Comic Collector is a very interesting option to consider.
The program’s interface offers you an attractive dark-looking skin to make your comic covers stand out nicely, though you can use a clearer one instead. Besides, you’re offered a wide choice of layouts for your main screen folder, list, and comic details panels.
The aim of this tool is to help you keep your paper comic books organized, so you know what’s in your physical shelves and which issues are missing or on loan and to whom. I don’t see any reason why you couldn’t include your scanned e-comics on your personal database using this tool, but it has been clearly designed to hold records of physical objects, not electronic ones, so you may miss some important or interesting fields when describing your electronic copies.
Comic Collector comes with an extensive database of well-known comic series to make it easier for you to tick those you already have, but it is flexible enough to let you include any new series or any new comic book in a series in case they’re not already there. The amount of detail you can store for each of your comic books is really amazing, as it is the way all of this information is displayed alongside the corresponding high-quality cover of each issue.
The program includes a useful loan manager and a few some other interesting utilities, such as the possibility of exporting your database as a Text or XML file, the option to batch-edit certain fields, add new covers, and store and synchronize your data using a free CLZ cloud service. These and many other features make Collectorz.com Comic Collector a nice and practical comic cataloging tool suitable for all kinds of users and all collection sizes. It works on a low-cost subscription basis that allows you to spend your money on enlarging your comic book collection rather than on paying crazy software fees.
