Official DC Index


The Official DC Index is a series of comic books released by Independent Comics Group (an imprint of Eclipse Comics) from 1985–1988, which featured synopses of several DC Comics series. The books, edited by Murray Ward, would often feature background information on the main characters in a particular series, and detailed information on each issue, including writer and artist credits, characters who appeared in the issue, and a story synopsis. A similar series of indices called the Official Marvel Index was published by Marvel Comics.

Due to poor sales, some series were cancelled before completion (the All-Star and Legion indices), and a planned Legends index was never released.

Five issues: August–December 1985. Covers by Chuck Patton (issues #1-3, 5) and Rick Hoberg (#4). Profiles of every Titans member and synopses of every Teen Titans story up through early 1986 (a sixth issue was in the works, but was never released):

Two issues: February 1986. Covers by John Byrne. Profiles of the Doom Patrol members and their supporting cast and villains, and synopses of every Doom Patrol story from:

One issue: March 1986. Synopses of all 12 issues of the Crisis mini-series and features a cover by George Pérez. The information in this book was reprinted and updated in Crisis on Infinite Earths: The Absolute Edition.
