Some background information first: Comic book barcodes involve an additional 5 characters in the UPC which help to identify the issue, cover, and printing of a comic. ISBNs for graphic novels also include 5 additional numbers which help to identify pricing changes.
The Comet Standard has a very good summary of the different UPC flavurs of comics - see: Comic Book Barcodes Explained.
Manage Comics is always looking for more scanners, so if you have a good scanner that works well with comics, please reach out to us and let us know the details to make it work and we will include it here.
Barcode Scanners:
We have had good luck with the Netum series of barcode scanners which come available in both wired and wireless versions.
They are inexpensive and have good support.
