I've added a few more School Friend and Schoolgirl to the pulp fiction section.  Tomorrow I hope to have more time for editing.

Thanks again, Bob. 

You've got the Pulp Fiction section growing in leaps and bounds!

The rest of my batch of School Friend for the pulp fiction section are now uploaded.
During my editing of these I decided that the length of time I was taking plus the wear on my ancient eyes was too great and on #166 I started doing less.  I prefer pages upright and it is fairly quick to do this but where I was cleaning up the pages I shall now only 'cut around selection' if it clears virtually all excess mess or do a straight crop including all the mess.  If I see any text that looks too pale I'll darken it but that is all.  If anyone wishes to edit any of my uploads and re-post as Improved they are welcome to do so.

My next batch of School Friend will be the comic version and if they just about fit the scanner I may only straighten them.

Before editing some more issues of The Schoolgirl from 1938 I'm going to take a break and do a few issues of Girls' Crystal.  They are only 12 pages and I will get through a lot more of them.

Note to administrators:- The Girls' Crystal annual for 1959 has a copyright sign on page 6.

Thanks Bob, all on site now.
I've been delving in my boxes and turning up some old obscurities but some of the European ones are too big for the scanner.  I assume the Girls' Crystal issues are the text issues.

The Girls' Crystal more or less carry on from what is in the Pulp section.

If you use Microsoft on your computer there is a FREE program to solve the overlarge pages.

The Wizards which are now being entered into the pulp fiction section are some I found that I'd edited earlier.  I had the year 1935 in two bound volumes and they were badly trimmed and stained.  I've combined the coloured pages with scans from photocopies.  I haven't checked many of the cbz s so I hope Comic Converter worked properly.  Some day I'll edit the last four months of the year.

More copies of The Schoolgirl and The Wizard now up.  I've more to edit in this area when time permits.  Some of the Wizards will be B&W as I never got hold of the originals.

I've now finished uploading 1934 Wizards.  I meant to note on #625 that the quality was not as good as I would like.

A few more Rovers and some Skippers.  Many of the latter are from photocopies.

I've added a few more copies of Boys' Magazine to the Pulp fiction section.  These include two more episodes of the Edwy Searles Brooks SF serial although the final part is only one and a half pages long.  The air new war serial starting in #291 looks good judging by the artwork.

What a discovery - SCOOPS, considered the first British S.F. paper.  Thanks to Bob, we have the majority of the 20 issues from 1934.  Poor quality but the illustrations are excellent and issue 13 sees the start of a serialisation of "The Poison Belt" by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.

I am curious as to the story involved in THE STRIDING TERROR. Have you read it Paw? If so can you summarize?

Not read it yet - too much stuff, so little time.  I'll go and have a look now.

Definately owes more than a bit to King Kong - and he's misunderstood.  no Empire State Building, so he climbs Big Ben.  That's as far as I've got.

I've uploaded a varied lot today.  One coverless US Adventure magazine, a few UK Adventures and Rovers and a Wizard.  I'm still waiting for a slot to put an issue of The Captain in.
I think I left several ending with .cbz.

Another mixed bag of uploads today.
Single items are Boys' Magazine, Skipper, Sexton Blake and an issue of The Captain, a boys' magazine.  The P.G.Wodehouse serial in the latter was later retitled in book form as 'Mike', part of, 1909 and then 'Enter Psmith' 1935 and 'Mike and Psmith' 1953.
There is a run of Wizards and a few Rovers, two of which went in the Wizard section before I noticed.

If I remember right the "P" was silent, and he put it on his name to make it a bit more exotic than Smith ... my favorite Wodehouse character is Lord Emsworth, but I digress

I liked Lord Emsworth also and the first Psmith book I read was 'Leave it to Psmith' which was a Blandings novel.

Yes indeed, a silent P.
And my favourite stories are Blandings.  I always feel so sorry for Lord Emsworth especially when Lady Constance has plans for him.
