THE GUIDE TO
Here are the beginnings of the long-requested index and/or guide to Comics Buyer's Guide and its precursor, The Buyer's Guide to Comic Fandom. Here you'll find nuggets of history as well as notes on who did what — where else could you find Klaus Janson, Neal Adams, and Jack Kirby drawing consecutive covers of the same title?
This is a long-term project. We expect this to come together slowly, a few months at a time -- and the initial content will be far from a full index. Thanks to Russ Maheras, we have clean specimens of all the covers from the first decade, plus his research into the cover artist credits for each (created for his fanzine Maelstrom #8). Commentary from the "Weeks of Wonder" chronologies will also be added — as previously published in Comics Buyer's Guides #1162-1168, #1616, and the 1997 CBG Annual.
The images should aid in the identification, particularly, of some of the earliest issues of TBG, not all of which had issue numbers or dates printed on them. We're also noting, where we can, how many sections each of the newspaper issues had. This can be very helpful in reconciling some of those loose sections with their parent issues.
This is not an attempt to archive the actual articles from those issues, although in cases where the articles have already been archived on this site, links will be provided. But we welcome more contributions about the content of these issues, and have set up a subforum for submitting such material — or for discussing it — on the site. We'll try to upload appropriate additions at regular intervals.
You can reach individual issues posted to date by clicking the menus for years, below — or by navigating withing the pages themselves. More issues will be added as we get to them.
1971 issues
1972 issues
1973 issues
1974 issues
Just added! 1975 issues
If you have information to contribute for a specific issue or issues or have a question or comment, start a new thread (with the issue number in the title if it's in reference to one) in the CBG/TBG Index Discussion Forum. We will try to make updates from time to time on existing index pages -- and will have your contrbutions available for the later issues when we get to them.

Russ' Maheras Cover Index to TBG #1-400 (1971-1981)
From Russ Maheras' excellent indexing work in Maelstrom #8, here's a quick thumbnail guide to who drew which covers of the first 400 issues of TBG, what's on them, and how many sections were in each issue. Records for individual issues will appear on site as we get them prepared.
Issue numbers and/or dates that are bolded/italicized did not appear on covers and are deductions based on careful examination of unmarked issues and/or surrounding issues. Newsprint tabloid catalogs consist of one section unless otherwise noted. Footnotes appear at the bottom.
No.

Notes:
Note1 • TBG 11 had “Feb.” on cover, but was actually January 1971 issue.
Note2 • TBG 18 was first bi-weekly issue.
Note3 • Though TBG was published bi-weekly at this time, only one issue was published in December 1972.
Note4 • The cover of TBG 38 featured four mini “Covers That Almost Made It.” Art by John Cody, Bob Conway, Mike Nicastre and Dick Kulpa.
Note5 • Cover dates for issues 46-52 are best guesses only. For issues dated 45 and earlier, deadline dates on Page 2 were two weeks after cover dates; when the next cover date appeared after a seven-issue lapse, the deadline dates on Page 2 were now two weeks before the cover dates. Issues 51 (Jan. 1, 1974) and 52 (Jan. 15, 1974) were the only issues with publication dates on the inside pages. These issues were dated on the upper right corner of Page 2, above the deadline information.
Note6 • TBG 82 shipped with extra eight-page, tabloid-sized Dynapubs catalog.
Note7 • TBG 87 was the first weekly issue.
Note8 • TBG 92 was misdated. It was the Aug. 22, 1975 issue.
Note9 • TBG 95 was misdated. It was either the Sept. 12 or 13, 1975 issue.
Note10 • TBG 136 was dated slightly out of sequence; should have been June 25, 1976.
Note11 • TBG 160 had extra 12-page Comic City catalog (tabloid-sized).
Note12 • TBG 188 had extra 16-page Moondance Comics catalog (digest-sized).
Note13 • TBG 190 had extra three-section, 52-page Mile High Comics catalog (tabloid-sized).
