About The British Comic Catalogue, 1874-1974
"This is the world's first attempt at a catalogue of comics. It aims to list the title of every comic published in Great Britain, from the first one in 1874 to the latest in 1974: some 1,900 titles in a century of comics. The entries contain details as to date of first and last issues; total number of issues published; names of publisher and distributor; original price and subsequent changes; amalgamations and incorporations of and into other comics; names of comic strip characters and their original artists with years of first appearance; names of editors, and even details of 'Grand Free Gifts'."--Introduction, page ix.
