My Comics

Your long boxes,
on shelves.

Every scan can go straight into your collection, with its photo. It sits on shelves by publisher, it answers one search, it stays on your phone, and it never pretends to know what a comic is worth.

Eighteen invented comics on four shelves. The search works the way the app's does: title, issue number, year, creator, key facts, notes and signatures, all at once.

Everything it keeps

Everything you have, in one search.

  • Shelves by publisher

    The way the long boxes are, with a count on each shelf.

  • One search

    Title, issue number, year, creator, key facts, notes and signatures, all at once.

  • Runs at a glance

    Sort by series run and see what you have of each, and the next gap. Hunt Mode buzzes when it passes one.

  • Signed copies Signed

    Who signed it, and how it is backed: not verified, witnessed, a certificate, or CGC or CBCS Signature Series. The eBay link searches signed copies.

  • Read, and next

    Mark what you have read, and keep a Read next pile.

  • Your own stars

    A five-star rating for each comic, yours and nobody else's.

  • Which cover is yours

    Every cover the catalogue records for the issue, by name. Variants and later printings filed as what they are.

  • Export

    The whole collection as a spreadsheet, with your grades, prices, notes and signatures, whenever you like.

Why no values

The app does not invent numbers.

There is no free source of sale prices the app may show. Guides that publish values either license them, which costs money the app would have to pass on, or estimate them, which is the thing collectors are right to distrust.

So Mint Menace does neither. For any issue it links to eBay UK's sold listings, which are real transactions, and lets you draw your own conclusion. What you record as paid and sold stays on your phone.

Price guidance in pounds, built from real UK sale records and aware of pence copies, is on the plan. It launches only when it is real, and the site will say so when it does.

What is coming, in order, on page 8

Private by default

On the phone. Full stop.

Your collection and your scan history are stored on your phone. There is no account and no copy on a server. Screen Alert and the signing lists check your collection on the phone too. Nothing leaves it unless you export it, and then it goes where you send it.

Delete the app and the collection goes with it, so export first if you want to keep it. The privacy policy says the same in more words.
