What's wrong with uploading SILVER AGE comics if they're in the public domain?

I know this site is called GAC, but really why not have it be a repository for ALL Public Domain comics -- especially if the series was started in the Golden Age and continued into the Silver Age?

Why stop a series just because of an arbitrary date as long as the issue in question is in PD?

Look to the sky he is correct we are not accepting pd siliver age. Please post a not with the copyright info specifically looking for the copyright notice and date NOT to be there. If a mod thinks it OK upload it to the suspect folder until final approval

Exactly.  After all, it's the PD element that's most important since there are lots of Golden Age stuff that can't be uploaded to the site.

We have to tread VERY carefully when it comes to silver age stuff. I'd rather not have a book posted then get this site into any kind of trouble.
