Skipping sports albums, various films (culling Dune and Pete's Dragon), celebrities (pop stars mostly) and the odd wildlife and automobile albums, the list of comic-related titles (or those of interest), confirmed, and with at least some information on content, makes for a rather small list. There aren't as many people collecting sticker albums as I had hoped, which made getting the list together rather more difficult that for some of the rarer comics. Sticker albums really are a pain to track down information on.

Magazine Dates
Most magazines aren't considered important enough to have their launches chronicled in the same manner as comics, and certainly not to the extent of presenting them en mass as here - while this is incomplete, and shouldn't be taken as representative of the numerous titles of interest to collectors of comic strips, there is enough to be getting started with.
Many of the comic strips and pocket cartoons which adorn these titles have never been reproduced, and the only means of indexing them is to use the titles themselves. As the contents are represented in the database (albeit to a limited degree), then the titles themselves are notable. While some are included for rather obvious reasons (various Newsfield and IPC titles, and magazines related directly to comics) the remainder earn notability through featuring creators of note, comic strips, pocket cartoons, illustrations, or other material.
There are, alas, gaps in the information. The listings were not originally intended to anything more than notes I was making as I went along, though the more I considered their place in publishing history, the more I realised that they ought to be given as much respect as books, or other tangential texts. While there is no pressing intention of augmenting this list, additions to the following, with sources, are welcomed.
