WORK IN PROGRESS: SEARCH ENGINE FOR U.S. PRINT MAGAZINES ABOUT COMICS
"Out
of these titles - Amazing Heroes, Amazing World of DC Comics, The
Comic Reader, Comics Feature, Comics Interview, The Comics Journal,
Comics Scene, FOOM, Hero Illustrated, Marvel Age and Wizard Magazine - ,
Lars Ingebritsen announces: 'There’s now seven magazines indexed and
available for searching at kwakk.info. Now, I previously said that the
search interface on kwakk.info is geared towards research, and not
reading, so it deliberately makes it difficult to download full
magazines, and only gives you five pages at a time to read (for each
search result). I still thinks that makes sense for The Comics Journal (where Fantagraphics
is selling access) and Amazing Heroes (news possibly upcoming), but for
the rest of these long-out-of-print magazines, that doesn’t seem to
make much sense: The only way you can read these magazines is by
shopping on eBay. So I’ve now added buttons to allow you to page through
an issue (starting at where your search landed you, of course) for all
of the non-Fanta mags. (This only works on the desktop version of the
site).'"
