Michael Torregrossa's "Camelot 3000 and Beyond", fully cited in "Printed Resources", is a comprehensive annotated listing of American Arthurian comics of the 1980's and 1990's, and has been an indispensable resource for the information on this site. Rodney Parrish's "Camelot Illustrated", or "King Arthur in Comics" is another comprehensive site. Web sites devoted to specific works such as "Mage" have been noted throughout this site, as have other helpful web sites, including Mariano Tomatis' "The Holy Grail" site. Other sites that were helpful in my research included the Marvel Chronology Project, the Comic Book Database, the Grand Comics Database and the Appendix to the Handbook of the Marvel Universe. I have found that one of the best places to begin a comics-related Web search is the Yahoo directory, but other search tools are also useful, as are specialized compilations of links such as the Comic Book Resources Links Database and the Wahoo! Comic Book Website Directory. The various "rec.arts.comics" Usenet newsgroups provide an online forum for discussing comics and asking questions. (Newsgroups are not web sites per se, but may be accessed through such sites as Google Groups as well as through Web browsers.) Last but not least, in July, 2000 Michael Torregrossa began moderating an e-mail discussion group devoted to Arthurian comics. Details are available on the Arthurian Comics Discussion List page at the Yahoo! Groups web site.
For those interested in tracking down Arthurian comics and graphic novels, the Internet offers a wealth of possibilities. A number of English-language works are available in print in trade paperback format from major online retailers such as Amazon.com. Several publishers, including Caliber Comics and Fantagraphics Books, sell comics on their sites. Major online comics retailers in the U. S. include the Mile High Comics Internet Store, and mycomicshop.com. BDnet.com offers a selection of in-print French-language comics, as do the more general sites Amazon.fr and Alapage.com. There are many other sites devoted to selling in-print and back-issue comics; see the Yahoo directory for a long list. Another popular option is online auction sites, typified by eBay. The newsgroup rec.arts.comics.marketplace is yet another venue for posting comics "want lists". (Note: Although I have successfully used a number of these services, these listings are for informational purposes only and do not represent an endorsement.)
There are also a
number of more general Arthurian sites on the Web. Two excellent
starting points are Arthuriana
and The
Camelot Project. These two scholarly
resources have collaborated in the production of the
Arthuriana/Camelot Project 
Bibliographies
(of which Michael Torregrossa's is one). Both sites include other
interesting content as well as links to some other Arthurian sites.
John J. Doherty's Arthurian
Resources on the Internet provides a
longer, but still selective, list of links, and Yahoo's
Arthurian Studies directory has still
more links. Other Internet resources include the Arthurnet
listserv, the alt.legend.king-arthur
newsgroup, and the Arthurian
Popular Culture Discussion List, an
e-mail group located at Yahoo! Groups. This companion e-mail group to
the Arthurian
Comics Discussion List is concerned
with all expressions of the Arthurian legend in popular
culture.
