Listings are alphabetical by title within Dewey Decimal classification. Each listing includes: title of comic book (some titles may be briefed); number of issue if part of a series; publisher; year of publication; format (H=hardcover, C+=larger than standard comic book; C-=smaller than standard comic book; PBK=paperback book; G=graphic novel; all others are standard-sized soft-cover comic books); P=primary source (part of Davidson collection); S=secondary source (culled from other lists). A few comics printed outside the U.S. are included; country of origin is shown when applicable. Since a full section of the Overstreet Comic Book Price Guide is devoted to Special Purpose (or Promotional) comics, these therefore are not included here. Price Guide also lists many Educational comics, but since they are not identified as such by P.G., it is difficult to locate the information. Still, P.G. may have additional facts about a specific title in this list. A primary source is Univ. of Florida, George Smathers Libraries, which house many sections of The Davidson Comics Collection. See UFL’s “ImageText” internet site for a parallel list of these Educational Comics.
