welcome to the site.

and please post if you come across anything that we can add or change to imporove our site.

Hey, I'm new to the site. I have 2 boxes of x-men titles from 91 to 96, I got married in 1997 and well, it was no more buying comics for me after that. I had almost forgot about my comics until I found this site. This is an excellent site. Thank you very much. Now I want to see if I can find a some comics to complete my collection. Where do you recomend I look?

Oh, and how can I submit a comic book cover?

welcome. 

to submit a cover, you can click the "N" in the "Img" column, whikch will bring up a cover submission tool, or you can go to the individual issue page and either click on the blue image or underneath the image is a link "Submit An Image".

as far as completing your collection, do you mean you want to see which issues you are missing from a particular series?  or just in general which stores you can visit that sell backissues?

You could look in JasonNewcombs' "Trading thread" and check out the interested members' stashes, there may be something you want and they're willing to trade or sell.

I honestly don't remember how I found it. But I do remember it was my second time desperately searching for a free solution.  So here's my idea:

I know some people googled 'comic collection database' and found it that way apparently.  I don't believe a lot of people know they are looking for a database per se so they don't search for that, you know?

This is what I feel a lot of people are searching for (what I was looking for initially) :

"free comic collecting software"

Now if you search that in google, I went through at least 5 pages and SMC did not pop up at all.

Just now I typed:

"free comic collecting website"

SMC was at the top of the second page.  I think maybe the homepage could use a few more of these buzzwords to give the search engines something to chew on.
