ComicbookCovers

Webscraper for DC, Marvel and more Comicbook Wikias to download CB covers.

Currently works with the wikias of: DC, Marvel, Dark Horse, Image, Valiant, Dynamite

This project is entirely dead. It was one of my first coding projects and mostly a fun exercise around web-scraping but then most wikias changed their layout and I never got around re-writing the code. 😃
