Wolverine is one of the best characters ever created in fiction. I blew it by not coming up with the idea first.

Welcome to the Comic Gnome's Comic Book Resource! This is a comic book collection, my comic book collection to be more specific, while it is an
ever growing comic book resource, ultimately it is what I lovingly refer to as "A Resource of No
Recourse." I currently have issues spanning all three of the major comic book publishers, Marvel,
Image and DC, as well as some lesser known companies. I have started, and have dillusions of, providing
cover shots, credit information including publication dates, as well as issue summaries for every comic
book which comprises my collection. Originally intended as a personal comic book reference, this resource
was and will always be a direct reflection of the comic books which are currently owned by me, the Comic
Gnome. This comic book resource was never intended to be an all-inclusive depository of every issue of
every comic ever made by the hand of man, unless of course I come to own them all that is. Those comic
issues which are not a part of my collection will not be included, so please do not contact me with
information or pics regarding any unlisted issues or series. Donations however, of any of your unwanted
comics, whether they are duplicates or unlisted, will be gladly accepted, displayed, and cherished. On that
note, if you feel that you have anything to contribute to the Comic Gnome's comic book resource, please
don't hesitate in contacting me to learn in what ways you may be able to help, I don't just want your cash,
even though it is always nice. If you feel compelled to aid me, the Comic Gnome and don't want to just
give your money away, nor have any issue information to share, feel free to visit our fledgling store and
see which comic books, accesories, comic book related movies, or action figures we have to offer!
| Upload Coming Soon | February 06, 2010 | So I have discovered that after my long hiatus, comicgnome.com is indeed still up and running much to my pleasant surprise.
I have done a preliminary tidying of a few of the files and pages which make up this humble resource and it's looking like it is just about time to make a little online update.
There are still a few minor things left to take care of, but for now it's just about time to do some uploading! | | C. Gnome |
| What a Bitch! | January 03, 2010 | | So I had one of my computers crap out on me yesterday. Unfortunately it was the one that I had been doing all of my changes and updates on. Now like an idiot because I didn't have a backup made I am scrambling to remake all of the changes. Some are done and some aren't, but I'm on it. | | C. Gnome |
| Current Duplicates
Any of our duplicate issues can be purchased through the Comic Gnome Store! | Official Word from the Comic Gnome My comic book collection and resource just keeps growing and growing and soon I'm gonna have to ...
well I'm not sure what it is that I am gonna have to do, but I'm not half as intimidated of building
and maintaining this resource as I once was. For those few people who have managed to find and reference
this website, you may have noticed that the collection size was growing faster than I could update. Tah Dah,
I am proud to introduce the newest Version, Recently I hired an outside design team to come and clean things
up for me, making it easier to update and maintain, and I am proud to say that I am more than excited by
the results. Empty SAC Designs, I just don't know what to say, the entire site has been edited, rewritten,
and converted to this brand new version, with the entire project being completed in less than a week and that
was no small feat if I may say so (it used to take me a week to update 6 issues), but now I can quickly update
any page any issue so quickly it's near breakneck speeds. Simply put, WOW, and to all those who have donated
to keep this little ship afloat, without you it wouldn't be possible. Thank you!
That's right, You read correctly, there is supposed to be a Comic Gnome operated store (coming soon!) in which
you'll find such things as movies, action figures, comic book accessories such as bags, boards, and boxes, and
last but not least ... my duplicates... What, duplicates? That's right, my duplicates. Whether I'm forced to
buy large lots from eBay for those random sporadic issues of those elusive comics which I'm misssing, or if I
just forget what I've got at home when confronted with the hundreds of choices at the comic book store, really
regardless of how it happens (trust me it does) I have ended up with duplicates, and that number has been steadily
growing.
Now that the first essential site rewrite has been achieved and updating has become so easy, thanks again ESD,
my focus has finally started to turn towards the credit and issue summary information that is missing. During
this time, however, you can expect the store to be created as well as some work on the graphics and navigation
area! Keep checking back, now that it is so easy to update, sweeping changes are on the way! |
