Comics Research Bibliography 2025 and Addenda available online for free

If you're reading this notice, there's a good chance you're in the new 1800 page annual update of the Bibliography, on its 30th anniversary. We're also commemorating John A. Lent's 90th birth year, since John started the field with his 10 volume set. Tony Rose has been assisting for the past couple of years, and librarian Elizabeth Walker has just joined the team. 

The CRB is a worldwide bibliography of all types of comic art, including comic books, comic strips, caricature, gag cartoons, animation, editorial cartoons, biography, webcomics, political cartoons, history of cartooning, and comics scholarship.

Our 30th Anniversary Edition has been updated with 3,327 new entries. It's downloadable at https://archive.org/details/crb-2025-ebook and there will be print edition in the coming month.

An addenda of 2000 more pages of unsorted citations is at https://archive.org/details/crb-2025-addendum These citations have been formatted but not yet placed into the CRB. Many of them are from the first online iteration of the CRB, now preserved on the Internet Archive. For our 30th Anniversary and in honor of John Lent's 90th birth year, we are providing these as a resource the first time, since they are searchable by keyword. However, the goal remains to empty this document by placing all the citations into the main bibliography which is online now at Comics Research Bibliography. 

Comics Research Bibliography 2025 & Addenda combined e-book edition is now online as well.
