While indexing the Golden Age DCU books, I found that theft of radium is probably a national epidemic.

Re: Print Order

Just posting to see if there was any reason for putting the seasonal comics (Spring, Summer, ect) in a different location.

Re: *Waves from the other mountaintop*

I won't name names, because sometimes, I have to work with people, but I'm in the unique position of maintaining an obligation to the Project. So, yeah, there are plenty of times that I find myself reading a book, when there are other things I'd rather do, and if not for the Project, I'd never read...

When the number d...

Hulk vs Superman chronology questions

In indexing the book "Incredible Hulk vs Superman" for the Unofficial Guide to the DC Universe, i would like to enter before and after appearances for the characters. Since they are not standard 616 characters, would anyone have an idea where they appear in relation to the regular characte...
