THIS IS NOT ALL OF THEM.  I HAVE OVER 200 FLOPPIES, TPB's AND MORE!  I ALSO HAVE ABOUT 120 DIGESTS AND DOUBLE DIGESTS BACK UP IN ALASKA (I JUST CANT FIND THEM), ALONG WITH 20 FLOPPIES.  ALSO, I HAVE ABOUT 20 THAT I DID NOT INCLUDE BECAUSE THEY ARE NEW (ER) AND HAVE YET TO BE SORTED.  ACP HAS BEEN LATE ON MANY MAILINGS (I GET ALL DIGESTS) AND SOMETIMES I DONT EVEN GET THE ISSUES, EVEN WHEN I CALL.  MY SUBSCRIPTIONS ARE ALMOST UP (I HAVE 3 DIGESTS LEFT, WITH IT VARYING FROM THE GRACE ISSUE TO 4 ISSUES LEFT).  I WILL NOT SUB AGAIN.  EVERYTHING THAT YOU SEE I WILL BE SCANNING WITH A BOOK SCANNER, AND WILL PUT UP, SO IF ANYBODY NEEDS A COPY, PM ME THE ISSUE/S AND I WILL GET BACK TO YOU!  NOW, POST YOUR COLLECTIONS!

I used have a thread that made called Show Us Your Archie Collection. I loved posting pictures on that thread but now it's too hard to post pictures there now. So now I just post pictures of my wall that has 12 comic frames on my Twitter page. I update it a lot so can what comics I hang up.

This is an old list and doesn't include comics from the last few years or other Archie titles like Fly, Jaguar, Shield, etc.

Despite the seeming length of that list, it's shorter than I would have imagined it to be. It just gives some perspective on the relative proportions of the company's publishing output over 75 years, compared to other companies like DC and Marvel that have been around as long. I wouldn't doubt that even relatively younger publishers like Dark Horse, Image and IDW's output dwarfs it as well.


Still an impressive job of assembling all that, though. I think it's probably safe to declare you the winner by a wide margin.

I doubt if IDW has surpassed Archie yet.  There are around 9000 Archie comics including digests, but not counting Sonic, Mega Man and lots of their 1940s output iike Shield and so on.  I'd estimate their overall output in the 10000-11000 range.  Marvel and DC are probably in the 35000-45000 range.  Dark Horse has probably passed Archie since they've been around for 30 years themselves.  Image is a maybe.  Let's say they publish 40 issues per month.  That would equate  to around 500 comics per year or 12000 comics for their 24 years.  However, their output in the 1990s was a lot less than today so I don't think they've passed Archie yet, though it is only a matter of time.  Since Archie doesn't publish very many issues per year any more, their lead (if it remains) will diminish quickly.


update - I checked the Grand Comics Database before submitting this reply and they list the following output by publisher:

Archie - 10875
Charlton - 6495
Dark Horse - 9036
DC - 46196
Dell - 6885
IDW - 4664
Image - 9541
Marvel - 45838
Western (Gold Key/Whitman) - 6115

The new uploading process works well once you figure out the correct order to the steps, but where all the places to click are isn't the most intuitive layout. Order of steps+location of buttons seems to be confusing and confounding some people. It does require some little patience at first... many might just give up too soon. Then there's the upward/downward navigation in the folders itself, and a few leftover annoying bits like the folders' insistence on self-organization by way of last item uploaded first. (You can change the sort order when looking at it, but it seems like there's no way to save those preferences). Then there's the business of looking through items in the folder, and how do you copy the address of the full size image to paste into a post for display? Again, not the most intuitive system. I've figured it out, but I can see where someone less persistent would just get frustrated at one detail they can't seem to figure and just quit.
