Key Collector Comics Database & Price Guide App
Catalog your inventory or build a wish list of key issues. Select what condition your comic is by using the CGC and CBCS grading scale. Get key issue notifications sent directly to your phone to know what's new and hot or spiking in value in the comic book world.
Key Collector Comics has been endorsed by Neal Adams, Alex Ross, Stanley Artgerm Lau, Brian Pulido and Valiant Entertainment
Here are some examples of what makes a comic book a valuable “key” issue:
* Character First Appearances
* Death & Origin Stories
* Variant Covers
* Iconic Cover Art
* Rare & Recalled Issues
* Classic Stories
Key Collector Comics simplifies the hobby of collecting. In the past, if one wanted to hunt for a character or title’s key issues, they would have to access four different apps:
App 1 - Search for information on a comic book title or character
App 2 - Determine a value and consider what you should pay
App 3 - Inventory what you own to a personal database
App 4 - Consult your notes app or carry around a piece of paper with your wish list on it
Sound familiar? Do any of the aforementioned headaches apply to you? Key Collector Comics has combined everything a collector needs into one, simple to use, FREE mobile app in the most intuitive environment available that requires absolutely no learning-curve. Now, with this one resource you can:
* Search by Title, Title and Issue #, Character, Writer, Artist or Publisher
* Browse by a changing list of categories like 100 Iconic Superhero Covers or Batman’s Greatest Arch-Enemies
* Catalog what you own with one tap
* Build a wish list of priority comics you’d like to own
* Select the grade of your book and notate if it has been professionally graded or not
* Choose to use our price guide or elect to input your own dollar value
* Record the amount you paid for a comic to accurately view the sum total of your investment as it fluctuates based on comic book market conditions
Key Collector Comics was created by a comic book collector for comic book collectors and the #1 priority is to make your experience more fun. How? By giving you the assurance that no key issue will ever slip through your fingers again and drastically cutting down the amount of time you spend looking through a box of comics. Just flip through issues with one hand and scroll through the app with the other. If anything on the app matches what’s at your fingertips then you just found yourself a key issue.
The database is updated at least once a week to include new character debuts that have been announced. You can add these comic books to your “wanted” list before they even hit the shelves so when Wednesday rolls around (when new comics are released) you leave the store or check-out online without missing a thing.
There are well over 7,000 individual issues organized in the database that have some instance of significance attached to it. You can search for over 2,500 characters in 1,700 titles from major publishers like Marvel, DC, Dark Horse, Valiant, Image and many independents producers from the Golden Age of comics (1935) to today. Key Collector Comics is your guide through the history of comics told through the key issues that defined the landscape.

EDIT / UPDATE: I had this as a TWO STAR app. I was having SEVERE issues with the app freezing and running EXTREMELY slow, even after paying for a premium subscription. After posting these issues here, I received a response, and, sure enough, after the latest update, everything works GREAT. Really appreciate the customer service there. Great resource for collectors, researchers, historians, etc. HIGHEST RECOMMENDATION!
This app is painfully slow and crashes so much. Love the amount of information available, appearance, simplicity and navigation but the speed is so slow and crashes so often that entering the comics you own isn't worth the hassle.
This is a super cool concept. Lots of great tools to utilize. However it constantly crashes. I'm finding it unusable. I'll keep checking back after updates to see if a fix is found.
Cool app the current prices are nice feature..would be nice to be able to add to any series thats missing a picture or even missing in the set. Great app overall
Little confusing. Cant find some of what im looking up. It should have a camera or scan option to search that way. And logg your whole collection. Would nice if linked to graders to.
A vital resource for any comic collector but it crashes constantly the last few weeks. Very frustrating.
I like this app. A lot of bugs, though. I would like to purchase the year membership, but even though I have verified my card, the app refuses to acknowledge it.
Only has 66 moon knight comics total need to add all of them. A scanning feature would also make finding comics a ton easier.
best heads up in the comic book business. if you want to know what is hot 🔥 before ebay. look no further key collector is the place to go. this site is even better when you become a member. 5☆☆☆☆☆ ALL THE WAY!
Whats the point of a "collectors database" if you dont have evey comic or issue of comic? 2 stars. Youre there but your far off. Give me all the spawn issues please.
an outstanding tool while combing through yard sale, back issues bins, and comic-con stalls. values are conservative and seem to be a very good indicator of FMV
easy to navigate. great amount of specalized subsets to search. very well managed site
Impressive but not perfect. It's really useful when you find a comic and it shows you the price ranges from its lowest to highest price especially if (like me) you're trying to value a collection. Unfortunately I can't give it more than three stars as I've found that there are lots of comics missing, forcing me to go online to check which kind of defeats the point of the app.
Loads of things are listed as keys, I wish you could filter by selling over cover price, or maybe over $10. Also wish you could filter by more recent, like maybe within the last month or year, something like that. There are quite a lot of lists to look at, almost overwhelming. I agree with someone else's comment it would be useful to be able to have favorite categories/lists at the top
Been collecting since 2008, always thought how cool it would be to have an app just like this. One that would send you updates on the latest trends and possible movie deals on books you might have passed on looking through the dollar bin at your local comic store. I've had it for a week on my phone, good app overall, I've had no issues with it.
Great app keeps you informed on what to buy and what's coming out plus gives you a price point for what your collection could be worth and has all the key comics you could want to find out about and they're constantly adding more all the time. Only down side is if you want to have all the features you have to pay a fee per year but understandable and it's small.
A great app needs some improved historic value data of sales and have provided feedback to the dev. Highly recommended and often updated.
Was good six months ago but now crashing everytime.
Eh... It works when it wants too. The app needs some touching up. Constantly force closes or freezes for like 3 to 5 minutes at times. Would also like a less time consuming way to add comics to my collection. Update 4/31/22 Still don't care for this app, prices are inaccurate and the term "Key" is thrown around very loosely.
Using the free version. Prices for most graded comics don't automatically update often as the quick graded comics, and have to be manually input to stay current. Would also love if the collection list page highlighted books whose values had changed, rather than just the green arrow on the book page. I end up looking through my whole collection to see where the difference in value came from.
Jumped on this app when it first came out...absolutely love it! Love the notifications and the ease of navigation. It has definitely been useful in helping me acquire comics I had been wishing for but had not gotten around to purchasing...with the notifications I was able to purchase my wish list comics at a reasonable price before they skyrocketed. Thank you!!
App freezes constantly and is nearly unusable
Solid app and great resource. I subscribe only to support, the subscriber cont isn't too exciting. Has a good ebay search button that will hunt down the issue you say you want,, sometimes adds stuff in the search bar that goofs it up.. Has a fine collection manager but doesn't include pic adding and doesn't have all issues. Customer service is great if you need it. Contacted 2x, not a problem just discussing stuff, and got really quick response.
Great app, but crashes sooo much. I tend to only use the web version as it is stable enough. The app lags while loading a title or scrolling, and then crashes nearly 100% of the time. I've exhausted every method to fix it. It's the only app of mine that does it, so it must be a bug. EDIT: Newest update has seemed to fix this issue. Changed to 5 stars now.
