I've broken the bibliographies into
4 parts because the listing is somewhat
long:
-
Bibliographies by Michael Karpas
-
Bibliographies by Richard Arndt
-
Other
bibliographies by fans
-
Bibliographies by the artists themselves
Bibliographies by Michael
Karpas
Michael Karpas (my brother)
has put together some amazing bibliographies for Mike Carey, Garth
Ennis, Neil
Gaiman, Frank Miller, Alan Moore, Grant Morrison, Kevin Smith, and Matt
Wagner.
I know I'm biased, but they're really quite good in terms of their level of
detail and their completeness. See for yourself.

Terms Key
Month/year publishing dates are always taken from the book’s printed date. If
the book has no monthly designation, I use the actual ship date if known. If
neither of the first two applies, then the book is listed by the year it was
published.
{ } = The start/finish dates for a serial, or for a general run of stories.
[ ] = Publisher.
> = Ongoing series.
TPB = Trade paperback format.
HC = Hard cover format.
<a> = Artist.
<w> = Writer.
Acknowledgments
A big thank you goes out to Chris Staros of Top
Shelf Productions. His bibliographies in
The Staros Report 1996 were a direct influence on the format of the
following bibliographies. Check
out his publishing company at
www.topshelfcomix.com; he publishes many wonderful books and quite a few of
Alan Moore’s works as well!
The next big thank you goes to Grant Goggans. His 2000
A.D./Judge Dredd archive provided key blocks of information for Ennis,
Moore, and Morrison. His listing has been linked directly to the 2000 AD
links project site at
www.2000ad.nu/linksproject/. If you have
questions relating to 2000 AD and Judge Dredd issues, contact
him at gmslegion@hotmail.com.
Much praise must also be given to Lance Parkin’s paperback
book The Pocket Essential: Alan
Moore, which certainly helped fill in details on Moore’s earliest work.
Copies can be purchased at
www.pocketessentials.com.
Another piece to the Moore biblio puzzle was provided by
illustrator extraordinaire John Coulthart. Thanks John! Please check out his web
gallery at
www.johncoulthart.com . Haunter of the Dark, the Angel
Passage CD, and many other items can be purchased there as well.
Additional
thanks for help on individual entries certainly goes out to Graham McDonald, Joe
Camhi, David Bishop, Tom Tesarek, Steve Black, Leigh Penman, Greg Strohecker,
Sean Richardson, and Stefan Andersson (for keeping me on my toes)! Thanks to Luís Felipe Bisan
de Freitas for the info and link to Morrison’s Cosi Fan Tutti short story for
the Scottish Opera Company.
By the way,
Greg Strohecker is now (in my mind) the official Alan Moore literary
archeologist. By all means purchase The Extraordinary Works of Alan Moore;
a must-have book for any Alan Moore fan and it includes an intensely
detailed Moore bibliography by George Khoury, David Hume, and Greg!
Thanks to Walt
Simonson for help with an obscure entry in the Frank Miller section.
Scott Quimby, lead guitarist of Stone Misery, gets a shout
out for providing details for the extremely hard-to-find Pantera comic book (for
the Mike Carey biblio, and yes, Mike would appreciate it if this book remained
in obscurity…
J).
And one more very special thanks to Davey Snyder, for
“swapping” Gaiman biblios, and generally being extremely kind. We owe you one!
There are some excellent bibliographies available on the
web, especially for Gaiman, Moore, and Morrison. So why write another one? Why
write them at all? The bibliographies found herein are not yet “definitive”
(although they are fairly detailed in providing references for many obscure
books and stories), but I believe they represent an excellent chronological view
of the creative development of the following writers. My biggest hope is that
they provide enough information for readers/collectors (experienced or beginner)
to delve further into the works of my favorite creators. I also hope
that comic stores and dealers may discover inventory from the following lists
that have been unknowingly sitting in boxes collecting dust, or just been plain
ignored. Pull them out, push them, and sell them! It was only a few short
years ago that stores filed “Miracleman” issues in their 50 cent bins…
