!! Calling all fans of the classic Pre-Crisis Kara Zor-El !!

Pre-Crisis Supergirl Chronology

This is a little fun experiment I've been working on recently; I'm putting this beta-test link out to check if the idea works, and get some feedback. It's a 'Semantic Web' page based on the adventures of the Silver Age Supergirl. This is a very early work in progress, with only about 15 to 20% of the full data present. If there's enough interest I may open the page up to allow volunteer Supergirl fans to help fill out the remaining data, and correct any errors. As it's a semantic page, the more complete the dataset, the more powerful the page gets. (Is anyone up for this?)

For web designers and coders who may be interested: the page itself (excluding images and the code hosted at MIT) is less than 200k in size. This includes the HTML and data file. Even with all the cover thumbnails (only loaded when needed) the final site footprint will probably be less than 5Mb of hosting space. The Web 3.0 mechanics are based on the experimental work of a team at MIT lead by Tim Berners-Lee -- the page is based on their software toolkit.

This is pretty neat.

It will probably help me track down a few stories I need to read.

Okay, all the data is there now. If anyone spots any errors or omissions then let me know.

This is a fantastic resource. I always thought I had a decent collection of pre-crisiis and crisis issues, but I realize now how paltry my collection is. Kudos for such an exhaustive database.

I commented to this effect before, but i'm using this to fill in my collection and figure out what issues to buy. This is VERY helpful. I found the issue where she graduated college (and now have it!) and my next target is the first hot pants issue! ;-) Hopefully I'll pick that up in November at a convention in Akron. I'd seen it before, but not realized it was the FIRST one, so ... now I must have it!

I didn't really pick up Supergirl other than the random issues until about the 80's, so I have a haphazard collection. Now i'm trying to get my collection in order -- YEARS back some of it was in a basement that flooded and I was too depressed to properly inventory it and find out what I lost. So lately as I go to conventions I'm buying up old Supergirls (Adventure/Supergirl/Superman Family) as I know that I didn't have most of them. They're safe bets.

I'm finally getting around to cleaning up some things, and I'm making lists -- lists that would probably mean something to people here as they're almost all books with super-femmes in them. A convention is commissioning 1-2 pieces of original art, and buying $40-$80 of old comics. Now I'm actively archiving trying to find my nice uber-girl comics of my youth and see if I still have them, and re-buy the damaged ones. It's a fun way to spend a few hours a convention looking through boxes of comics for things to buy and take home...

This has been a big help to me.

email me a zip file of the stuff you want hosted and any instructions and i'll get it gone.

getting FTP accounts set-up is proving to be a pain in the neck.
