Syndicated Comic Strips and Artists is a comprehensive compilation of every comic strip and panel, and every creator, illustrator, and artist, that was listed in the annual Editor & Publisher Syndicate Directory from 1924 to 1995. It's the only index of its kind currently available.
This compilation includes an alphabetical list of 4700 comic strips and panels and dates of syndication, along with all individuals associated with each strip and their dates of association; an alphabetical list of some 3300 artists, writers, and creators, linked to the strips that each worked on and the dates of their work; and a translation of nicknames and pseudonyms that appeared in the Syndicate Directory.
