I've picked up on some good comic links mentioned in some posts on these boards. What does everybody think are the best comic links out there & why?

Great question - surprised this hasn't come up more often.

Resource material:
http://www.comics.org/
(The Global Comics Database - still the most authoritative source out there IMO)
http://dcindexes.com/
(Mike's Amazing World of DC Comics - chock full of covers, indexes, and even a time machine that allows you to view a month's output of DC comics at a time - brilliant!)
http://darkmark6.tripod.com/indexintro.html
(DarkMark's comic indexing domain - no graphics, but a painstakingly detailed index of nearly every DC character of the Silver Age)

Specific info. on DC Archives:

http://www.collectedcomicslibrary.com/
http://www.dcarchives.cjb.net/
http://futurearchives.tripod.com

Comic relief (no pun intended):
http://members.fortunecity.com/toywonder/SlowDCDirectory.htm
(Cheeks the Toy Wonder - some of the graphics no longer come up, but Unca Cheeks had the most laugh-out loud commentary I've ever read on the subject)
http://www.comicbookresources.com/columns/oddball/
(Scott Shaw's Oddball Comics - each day of the week, he dissects a bizarre-looking comic of yesteryear)

If you like the Marvel Masterworks series as well, you can't find a better site than: http://www.marvelmasterworks.freeservers.com/

Good news site and links for conventions: http://www.comicon.com/

Bob Rozaskis (sp?) column makes this site a must read on Monday's: http://www.silverbulletcomicbooks.com/

Captain Comics is often an interesting read. http://www.gomemphis.com/mca/captain_comics/0,1426,MCA_487,00.html

For a more highbrow look at comics: http://www.ninthart.com/

And, finally, I like the reviews given by the two guys at: http://www.thefourthrail.com/

I neglected to include the indispensable Don Markstein's Toonepedia to my list of references. I use it constantly, and it should be on everyone's "short list":
