Comicster is a free Windows program designed to catalog your comic books. It stores information about publishers, trade-paperbacks, titles, individual issues, characters and creators.
Comicster requires version 4 of the .NET Framework, which will be installed if you don't already have it. Updates to Comicster will be downloaded and applied automatically as they're made available.
