Catalog comic books on your PC or Mac

I want to thank everyone at CLZ for their quick and friendly help whenever I had a question or problem. I specifically want to thank Sytske Hermans and Alwin Hoogerdijk for their help on January 4th and 5th.
I have completed the input of my collection into your great database software, almost 6000 individual issues with approximately a 1000 duplicates. This is something I have wanted to complete for several years. — Bruce Davenport (USA) on Comic Collector

You guys always have stellar support and the best product I have ever found for my comics inventory.. I will look for a roll of tissue paper at this point...
Warmest regards from the USA, tell everyone in the office thank you! — Rush Callahan (USA) on Comic Collector

I Discovered CLZ when i made a descision to start collecting comic books again. I had a small collection left from when i was a kid, it was something i did with my dad who passed away back in the early 2000's. After he died a big part of me was like "What's the point". Like many things at the time, it all kind of faded away.
So When i Made the Descision to collect again I Quickly realized i needed away to know what i already had. To This end, I found CLZ, it was affordable, and super easy to use, plus it was accessable on my phone which made it a great tool for when i hit the shops.
Then i realized I could also use it to Catlouge the Vinyl Records that got left to me. So now, I use it to catlouge both Comic and Vinyl collections, and in the process it helps me feel a bit closer to my father. — Kassidy Renault (USA) on Comic Collector

I have been using the Comics Collector sw for about 10 years to increase my happiness and joy with my collection. I had always wanted to organise my collection so that all the relevant publisher, creator information and the covers would be easily located and sorted. An attemptt to create a spreadsheet that would do this for me gave me the pleasure of a deep dive into my collection and a severe back ache from sitting with my laptop on a broken sofa. I came accross Comics Collector and tried it out and it has been contributing greatly to my happiness ever since.
Sometime I put on the cover flow and just roam through my collection, each cover is a vivid moment that reminds me why I love comics. I have organised and re-organised my collection as I have changed my mind about what is the best way to group the comics. I can do this easily, the interfaces are clear and natural. Comics Collector has increased my pleasure in my comics collection hugely by capturing what I wanted to be able to do with careful attention to detail and first rate customer care. The updates are seamless, in fact they give a good name to software updates...
As I have been writing this I have been thinking about why Comic Collector is so good and I realised that it has been written for collectors, it makes capturing the many details about comics easy, showing off the covers easy, sorting and re sorting the collection easy. It is a brilliant tool that really allows me reach into the detail of my comics and relish them. — Conor Carton (USA) on Comic Collector

I've been using CLZ for my comics for 3 or 4 years now and had been doing things manually before that. My collection currently exceeds 18,000 books and I've been collecting for decades.
When I started collecting, I kept a hand written ledger of my books so I wouldn't spend my hard earned cash on duplicates. When Lotus 123 came on in '83 (does anyone actually remember Lotus 123?), I procured a copy and transferred my entire collection to a spreadsheet. Awesome. My first actual backup, besides my hand written book, was to a 5.25" disk.
After Lotus was crushed by Microsoft, everything had to go to Excel. I believe that most everyone has a horror story regarding hardware and mine was a crashed hard drive in '96 that ate my data and left me with just a 3.5" disk that contained the backup of my comic collection. Needless to say, the disk turned out to have been corrupted at some point and I was back to ground zero.
With all of the writing and keyboarding over the years, I'm pretty sure I'm patient #0 for Carpel Tunnel Syndrome. It was then I decided the Comic Books gods did not want me to know what I had in my collection so that Marvel, DC, Charlton, and the rest could get more of my hard earned cash since I'd likely be buying duplicates at one point or another.
It wasn't until I found CLZ 3 or 4 years ago that I started to catalog my collection again. This has done many things:
It uncovered more than 3,000 duplicates (hard earned cash out the window. My ex-wife was angry about that tidbit).
It allowed me to actually get my collection under control and in numeric order in their boxes (currently 170+ short boxes and a couple of long boxes
The initial time of entering them into CLZ was considerable, but necessary. Now when I buy 2 or 300 books at a show, it's so easy to get them into the system.
It allows me to travel to Comic-cons and bring my collection with me so when I'm spending my hard earned dollars, I'm not buying dupes. (something my current wife appreciates)
I finally know exactly what I have and I know it's safe from most any tech disaster that I might have.
Most important in all of this? It provides a safe place for my database. Something I didn't have for 40 years.
I forget what I paid for this program when I bought it, but it's been worth every penny of my hard earned dollars since. — James White (USA) on Comic Collector

I have collected comics on and off throughout my life, starting at the age of 6 (when Mom would "bribe" me with 50 cents if I was good in church--hey, I could buy TWO books at the newsstand then!) and all the way now through my 54th birthday. During that time, like a lot of hobbyists, I have had 'hot' times where I've really been into my collection, and others when I've cooled down...
I now do a yearly show or two. Because of all of that, it would be almost impossible for me to remember how many books I have in my collection (6712) vs how many are in my "sale boxes" (1200) without CLZ. Your product goes everywhere I go on my phone--putting an end to the "I wonder if I have that?" stuff that goes on at dollar bins.
I am very thankful for your product and everything you guys do for the collecting community! — Mike Boyd (USA) on Comic Collector

I am a 56 year old lifelong comic fan...and still collecting. I have about 15,000 comics and before discovering CLZ I used a looseleaf notebook to add all my comics. Needless to say, this turned into a ripped, and disorganized mess very quickly. Of course, I was only able to catalog the title and the issues that I owned and I could never see the critical data or the comic covers.
I constantly use CLZ, not only for data entry, but to view my lovely collection. I also love the way that CLZ breaks down the stats to my collection and gives me possible value of the collection. The software support and updates are spectacular!! — Scott Farren (USA) on Comic Collector

I love this product and probably use it more than any other that I have purchased. I rely on it to keep my comic collection where it is accessible both at home and away.
I recommend it to everyone I think could benefit from it. — Kevin DeSain (USA) on Comic Collector

A while back I was looking for a good way to tabulate my comic book collection and, knowing that I was going to be buying comic books again, I needed a good tool to keep track of them all. I demoed a few software options as well as the tried-and-true Excel spreadsheet method but nothing worked so seamlessly as CLZ. The ability to use a bar code scanner, upload data to the cloud, ease of use, cover photos of all the comics, fast and friendly customer service all contribute to why I love the software and will continue to use it.
It's so awesome when I go to a comic store, see a comic that I think I need and able to check quickly on my phone on my collection, see that I already have the comic so I put it back saving myself money.
Now, I'm starting to collect video games so that will be my next collection to keep track of. I haven't begun looking yet, but CLZ will be the first place I look. — Jim Volin (USA) on Comic Collector

I started collecting comic books in the early 80s. Mostly Marvel but I branched out to some Image comics and DC in the 90s when Spawn was created. I began liking the darker comic books with more detail in the graphics. I stopped collecting until I got stable then began to board bag and catalog all of my books.
In the process I noticed I had some valuable books such as the first appearance of Thanos and Deadpool. I wanted to get insurance on my books and have a detailed list on a cloud based program to insure I would not lose my collection should something tragic happen. I found CLZ in my search of this app and found it to be easy to navigate, very organized.
I have 4240 comics cataloged and sent to my insurance agency. I then started to use to wish list when I would go to comic shows to quickly pull up books I'm looking for rather than using paper lists that would ultimately end up in the washing machine. Thanks to this great app. — John Miller (USA) on Comic Collector
