Description:

Welcome to the International Catalogue of Superheroes. The purpose of thissite is to build up a database of information about various superhero charactersfrom around the world. For decades American comics, and especially thosefrom two prolific publishing houses, have dominated if not the market, thencertainly the public's perception of it. There are few people in the worldwho would not recognise Superman, Batman, Spider-Man or the X-Men, and thereare hundreds of websites devoted to those characters. That is not the focusof this site. One day, perhaps, I will start to index those famous characters,but that day, if it comes about, is some way off.Instead this site is intended to cover less well known, but no less worthy,creations. In particular it aims to showcase some of the international diversitythat exists in the superhero world. There are large sections devoted to heroesfrom Britain, France, Canada, Australia, Japan and many other countries,which continue to expand as I learn more about the heroes of each of thosecountries. From the U.S.A. I've tried to give coverage to characters whoappeared in many Independent comics (e.g. non-Marvel or D.C.), as well asfilm and television.It's an ongoing process and will never be finished, as there will alwaysbe new characters being created, old ones being unearthed, and furtherinformation on existing ones coming to light. The first thing I always dowith any encyclopedia or "Handbook" is look for certain favourite, but obscure,characters, to see what has been missed out. If you do the same, and findthat I am missing someone you think needs including, or have erroneousinformation (bear in mind that a lot of times, especially with older characters,I am going on second hand information) then pleasee-mail me. Contributions are always welcome.While I've tried to go to the original source material as much as possible,nonetheless some of my information has, by necessity, been taken from on-line.Where this is the case I try to contact whatever site I've cribbed from forpermission, and to give credit to the original source - if you see somethinghere that you think has come from your site, and I haven't contacted or creditedyou or you wish me to remove it, please e-mailme so I can fix whatever I've done wrong. I'll state it below in aproper disclaimer, but for the record I intend this to be a work of referenceso any copyrighted images I'm using are for those purposes only; copyrightstill belongs to the original holder; and if that copyright owner or theirrepresentatives want me to take something off the site I will do so uponrequest.I'd also like to take this opportunity to thank the many contributors whohave helped by sending in pictures or information; many of the national pagesin particular would be much less developed without their assistance. Whenthe site was younger and smaller, I tried to list them here, but that haslong since become impossible, so now the individual thanks tends to be onspecific pages; that does not make me any less grateful for the help provided.Browse the site by country
