Sounds like it could be either Who's Who in the DC Universe or the Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe.

I had (might still have, somewhere) a book called something like "An encyclopaedia of comics", or "who's who in the comics" or something along those lines. It was a paperback, about an inch thick that contained an alphabetical list of an awful lot of comics and characters, from various companies.

Who's Who and OHOTMU weren't just one book. They were both series.

Was it The Encyclopedia of Super-Heroes by Jeff Rovin? That one fits your description.
EDIT: Oops. Read the rest of the thread. Never mind.
