$100,000 Club

A multi-faceted project for exploring, visualizing, and managing high-value comic book sales data, inspired by the research and lists at It's All Just Comics.

Overview

This repository contains several related applications and datasets focused on comic book sales, records, and pedigrees. The project has evolved from AngularJS-based interfaces to modern TypeScript, D3, and Node.js web applications.

Key Features

• Interactive Data Visualizations: Modern D3/TypeScript apps for exploring comic sales and pedigrees.
• CRUD Web App: Manage books, sales records, and pedigrees with a Node.js/Express backend.
• Historical Archives: Legacy AngularJS code and static HTML for reference and preservation.
• Rich Datasets: JSON files with sales, book, and pedigree data, licensed for public use.

Project Structure

• 100k-club/, record-sales/, silver-age-pedigrees/, timeline/: Modern D3/TypeScript web apps for data visualization.
• crud-webapp/: Node.js/Express CRUD app for managing comic book and sales data.
• core/: Shared TypeScript modules for data models and utilities.
• archives/: Legacy AngularJS code, static HTML, and historical notes.
• data/: Centralized JSON datasets for books, sales, and pedigrees.
• _timeline/: Standalone D3 timeline demo.

Getting Started

Most modern apps use Node.js, TypeScript, and D3. To run a visualization app (e.g., 100k-club):

cd 100k-club
npm install
npm run start

For the CRUD web app:

cd crud-webapp
npm install
npm start

Then visit http://localhost:3000.
