Why do we have a NEED
LIST? It is because we seek the last bits of information on a certain character
to further our goal of gathering all the information on comic-book superheroes
from around the world between the years 1936 all the way to 1960.Of course
we can't afford to buy every book we shall list here, but with this list
we hope YOU, the viewers, can help us locate these books and gather the
needed information on these last remaining characters. Our MASTER ALPHA
LIST contains almost 1100 entries. While we have a great deal of information
on most of these characters, we still need to locate a few items to complete
the list. Thus we created the NEED LIST. This is Part One of a three part
listing of what characters we still need information on, and what books
they appeared in. If you can help locate this information, then you will
be helping us in our great cause, to preserve that part of 20th century
popular culture known as comic books. So please take a look, excuse the
format, and see what you can do to help us out. If you have any of these
books or know a store or person who does, please let know. We feel that
it is vital that we gather this information, so feel free to contact us
anytime. Thanks and see you in the funny papers!
