He had learned to recognize such favorites as the work of Joe Kubert, Alex Toth and Lee Elias. While Jerry’s first published efforts along these lines were The Authoritative Index to All-Star Comics and The Authoritative Index to DC Comics (1963), co-authored with Howard Keltner, Bails was also busy behind the scenes researching the framework of all comic books published during what Dick Lupoff had called their “Golden Age,” a term that stuck. Toward that end, Jerry networked intensively with others of similar bent, such as Howard Keltner, Raymond Miller, Bill Thailing, Don and Maggie Thompson, Fred von Bernewitz and many others.
In addition, Ivie’s mailbox was frequently filled with requests for comic book and comic strip data. While not a hardcore data-indexer, he was a source of information to nearly all the earliest fans who were obsessed with gathering and coordinating such data. He was the closest thing to an authority on comics that was available in the 1950s. Ivie’s great disappointment was that DC Comics wasn’t interested in his proposed revival of the Justice Society of America, to be called the Justice Legion of the World, which would be made up of the sons and daughters of the original JSA.
Raymond began compiling his own data with information he obtained not only from Bill Thailing, but from an emerging roster of correspondents who became known to him through Alter-Ego, The Comicollector and The Rocket’s Blast beginning in 1961 when the fanzines came long. These included veteran collectors M. C. Goodwin, Jerry Bails, Howard Keltner, Dick Hoffman, Kenny Heineman, Rick Durell, Hames Ware, Richard O’Brien, Don Rosa and Don Foote, among many others. Miller discovered that he not only liked compiling comic book data for himself and his correspondents, but enjoyed sharing that data with others in the form of articles written for the amateur publications.
