The Keith Giffen Bibliography version 4.2
The following is a list of comics contributed to by Keith as of 13 May 2008. Comics are laid out alphabetically (with the exception of Ambush Bug, Justice League International, and Legion of Super Heroes for which Keith is probably most well known) with Keith's input in brackets afterwards.
Comics surrounded by [[....]] are as yet unconfirmed. Confirmations, corrections and additions are always welcome to my email.
In the past I've experimented with another format for the bibliography: individual issue details. Have a look and let me know what you think.

I'm thinking that more than qualifies me to write the He-Man and the Masters of the Universe comic book. Well... that and the fact that I so want to. I mean, c'mon... it's He-Man!"
