My Collection: Comic Scanner

Catalog your comic collection with a camera

My Collection: Comic Scanner is a comics cataloguing app from HipComic for people who want to turn a physical comic shelf into a searchable digital collection. Instead of entering every issue by hand, you can use the phone’s camera to scan a comic cover and add the identified issue to your collection.

Useful for mixed-age collections

The cover-based recognition approach is suited to collections that include older issues, where barcodes may be missing, damaged or unavailable. After an issue is identified, the app can provide collection details and market value information, giving you a way to review what you own and see an estimate of its worth in the same place.

• Scan by cover: Point the camera at a comic rather than relying only on a barcode.
• Keep an inventory: Build a digital record of individual issues in your collection.
• Check estimated values: Use available valuation data to add financial context to your catalog.
• Access your collection across devices: Collection information can be managed through the mobile app and web service.

What to expect

My Collection: Comic Scanner is a practical fit for casual readers with a growing pile of issues as well as collectors working through a larger archive. Recognition results can depend on the quality of the cover image, so clear lighting and a visible front cover should help when scanning. The app focuses on reducing repetitive data entry, while still leaving you with an organized record to browse and maintain.
