Hardcore comic collectors can start rejoicing for the much-anticipated
ComicBase Atlas has shipped. A huge upgrade for high-end collector
program ComicBase, it includes everything from mobile access on your
iPhone or Blackberry, to international currency support and cover
downloading in the Archive Edition. Its massive database which lists
virtually every English-language comic has grown to include foreign
editions, adding over 100,000 issues over last year’s version.
A program like ComicBase Atlas is vital to today’s savvy comic book
buyers and sellers, especially when it comes to keeping up with the
tumultuous changes in values we’ve seen in just the past year. Working
with Comics Buyer’s Guide, Heritage Auctions, and Atomic Avenue, Atlas
accurately tracks the verified pricing for over 420,000 comics. Weekly
updates add hundreds, and often thousands, of issues to keep the
program up to date with new values and information.
Furthermore, the program is now as mobile as its users. ComicBase
Atlas users can now keep their collection data with them on their
Blackberry, Palm, Symbian OS or Windows Mobile phones—even a
Playstation Portable! And, of course, the Apple iPhone is also
supported.
The top-of-the line ComicBase Atlas Archive edition ships on 3
DVDS packed with all the program’s copious information, as well as over
205,000 full-size covers. With ComicBase Atlas, Archive edition users
can also download new covers in real time. A Blu-ray Disk edition is
also available, containing over 26 GB of content with quarterly updates.
Peter Bickford, ComicBase’s creator, says “This is by far the most
awesome version we’ve ever done. Whether you’re checking your comic
list on your iPhone on the road, or downloading the pictures and prices
from this week’s releases, ComicBase Atlas is a version no comic
collector is going to want to miss.”
All full versions of ComicBase Atlas include a one-year
subscription with weekly price and data updates. ComicBase Atlas is
