My name is Jamie and I am the creator of the DC Database. I've been a comic book geek since I can remember.

When I was about 15 (1997), inspired by the Who's Who books (and the Marvel equivalent) I created a 'database' of information on my favourite characters on my home computer. It was built for reference in a role playing game I was playing at the time, but later served as inspiration when I began planning the Database Projects in late 2004. Trying to research some piece of inane trivia, I was shocked by the lack of detailed information on the Internet about comic books, and so I set out to create the most complete comic book encyclopedias ever. (That's a reasonable reaction, right?)

To this day, I find it unbelievable how far we've come. The number of like-minded people that shared my passion for these projects is astounding.

So, your like, our supreme ruler over all. Nice ta meetcha boss! It's interesting to hear how the wiki began.
