ComicBase 15 Has Arrived!

ComicBase 15 has shipped: it has all the features collectors love, such as thorough data on more than 450,000 comics; easy data entry, with or without the optional bar code scanner; and (with paid subscriptions) a year's worth of issue and cover updates.

We've also improved our mobile device support, so among other things, you can now preview cover with reports on your iPad, iPhone, Android or other internet-capable smart phone. And our New Comics Wednesday feature lists the new comics expected each week--so you can check off what you've bought and enter it to your collection as soon as you get back from your favorite comics retailer.

If you're a registered Pro or Archive user, you can upgrade to the ComicBase 15 Archive (with full size covers and the ability to download new covers at any time--even filling in subscription lapses) for just $99.95 until September 15, 2010. That's a $200 savings!

Go to our Products section and log in to see all our deals for buying or upgrading your copy of ComicBase now! Or give us a call at 408-266-6883.

Congratulations to our iPad Winner!

If you were at Comic Con, you may have noticed smartphone users looking at a certain icon at our booth to find out how they could enter our contest to win an iPad--one of the many mobile devices which ComicBase runs on. And now, we're proud to announce, we have a winner: Kevin Koerner! A 16GB iPad is now winging its way to him, so he can take his comics with him wherever he goes.

Our Backstage Pass Winner!

Congratulations to our Backstage with ComicBase winner Wes Amann! After getting the news Monday morning, Wes made last-minute plans to make it out to Comic Con and we've loved having him as one of our team. We'll have pictures soon, but in the meantime, if you're at the show, be sure to stop by our booth easily found under the Atomic Avenue rocket ship.

Bullseye's Features ComicBase on Free Comic Book Day

If, like many comic book fans, you stopped by your local store on Free Comic Book Day, you were in for an extra treat at Bullseye's in North Syracuse, New York. There ComicBase customer Ken Fike was showing off ComicBase 14, so fans could learn more about keeping track of their personal collection and its worth. Ordinarily, you'd have to fly out to San Diego in July for such a demo, but clearly, one of the less-publicized advantages of ComicBase (which we sometimes forget), is our nifty customers, like Ken.

Action Comics #1 sold for $1.5 Million!

Once again Superman flies high above everyone else. It was only a few weeks ago that a copy of Action Comics #1 in 8.0 condition sold for a cool $1 million. Shortly after, a copy of Detective Comics #27 sold for $1.075 million. Today, the Associated Press reports that a copy of Action Comics #1 in 8.5 condition sold for an amazing $1.5 million. Makes you wonder if a higher graded copy exists out there and how much it could be sold for.
