The DCM dataset is composed of 772 annotated images from 27 golden age comic books. We freely collected them from the free public domain collection of digitized comic books Digital Comics Museum. One album per available publisher was selected to get as many different styles as possible. We made ground-truth bounding boxes of all panels, all characters (body + faces), small or big, human-like or animal-like.
