James Kochalka Checklist Project

At the suggestion of a reader on the American Elf Forum, I am putting together as comprehensive a checklist of James Kochalka's printed comics and graphic novels as I can. To do this, I need the help of my fellow Kochalkaholics. Please email me with any additions, corrections or suggestions. Especially helpful would be publication dates (where missing).
