League of Comic Geeks (LOCG) is one of the most popular comic tracking platforms. Here's how to move your data to VerseDB.
Quick Summary
- Export your collection from LOCG as CSV
- Supports collection, read status, and wishlist imports
- Pull list and following are not supported from LOCG
Step 1: Export from League of Comic Geeks
- Log in to your League of Comic Geeks account
- Go to My Collection (or Wish List / Read List)
- Look for an Export or Download option
- Download as CSV format
Note
LOCG's export options may change. Check their help documentation if you can't find the export feature.
Step 2: Start Your Import
- Go to Dashboard > Imports on VerseDB
- Click New Import
- Select your import type:
- Collection — Comics you own
- Read Status — Comics you've read
- Wishlist — Comics you want
- Select League of Comic Geeks as the source

Step 3: Map Your Headers
VerseDB will detect headers from your LOCG export. Common mappings:
| LOCG Header | VerseDB Field |
|---|---|
| Series | series |
| Issue | issue_number |
| Publisher | publisher |
| Date | release_date |
Tip
If LOCG includes their internal IDs, you can map them for reference, but VerseDB primarily matches on series name, issue number, and publisher.
Step 4: Review Matches
VerseDB attempts to match each row to an issue in the database:
- Matched — Found an exact match
- Multiple Matches — Found several possible matches (you'll choose one)
- Unmatched — Couldn't find a match (you can search manually or skip)
Step 5: Complete the Import
- Review your matched items
- Resolve any conflicts or unmatched items
- Click Import to add items to your collection
Warning
Large imports may take a few minutes to process. Don't close the browser tab until it completes.
What Gets Imported
For Collection imports:
- Issue identification
- Purchase date and price (if in your export)
- Condition and grading info (if available)
For Read Status imports:

Many unmatched items? LOCG may use different series names or numbering. Try adding publisher and year data to improve matching.
