Try Key Collector. There's alot of good information on their site. It can be a little confusing to use but I use it all the time to find first works by artists.

Comic Book DB was awesome! Nothing compares to it IMO.

There's https://www.comics.org but it can be hit or miss.

This. Interface isn't as good, but only thing I've found that's close. And still free. When you get into the creator you are trying to find a book for, you should sort it by publisher.

I use that and Comic Vine now. I don't trust CV, but it's great for creators and to find stuff quickly. I sometimes double check info from CV on GCD.

you guys are so much cooler than I am. none of them showed up for me when i searched on my own. checking some of my slabs and couldnt remember why i had them signed instead of the usual suspects like secret wars 8 or most note able character that they did. but first robotech cover for them or first published work that they did. I do signatures generally by first published, and/or first batman cover and so on. so again thank you and any more sites i will check them out too

On GCD, use the Advanced Search window to get the specific information you want to find, and use sections for date limits or publishers or country.

It's all about using the right combo of filters when searching. Once you've figured out the best way to search for something specific, it's invaluable.
And you can contribute by adding or correcting info. Sometimes a credited writer/artist has a (?) next to his/her name, meaning it isn't a 100% sure thing. I've seen many credited work for Mike Royer, and I'd ask him if he did indeed work on them. If he didn't, I would then inform GCD that the info came straight from the source and they corrected them. After awhile they seemed to readily accept my info, and corrections happened faster.
