Welcome to the Grand Comics Database!

We're a nonprofit, Internet-based organization of international volunteers dedicated to building a database covering all printed comics throughout the world, and we're glad you're here! Give our search form a try, or read down the page to see how you can help us improve the site.

We need folks to add and correct data, as well as technical volunteers to help build the web site, add an API and overhaul our visual design.

We Need Volunteer Web Designers and Programmers!

Please email gcd-contact@googlegroups.com or join the gcd-tech group if you can help with any of these roles:

Web designer / front-end developer (HTML / CSS / JavaScript)
We'd love to overhaul our site design- do you have a vision for us?
Web Services API
We want to make our data available over a modern Web Services API, but we need to do it in a way that will let our data organization grow and improve without breaking API clients. Can you help us?
Python / Django programming
There are many features still missing in our system, and many more enhancements that we'd like to add, and data format improvements that we'd like to support. Here's your chance to help us and burnish your open source credentials at the same time!
Performance Engineers
Are you an expert at MySQL? Or do you know how to squeeze the best performance from a web application deployment? If you'd like to see an even faster GCD, we could use your help!
