Sorry but page 12 is totally unreadable as with all of these issues. Can nothing be done about this? I zoom in but the resolution is so poor that the middle page spreads are completely indecipherable. Shame for the reader who can't read the story and the scanner who hasn't scanned a complete issue.

Shame on you for condemning someone for freely giving of their time and their efforts to provide any scans of their rare items.

indeed, also you'll note that this is only 23 pages, yet is over 41MB, indicating a pretty high scan resolution.

2 page spreads always appear small (especially text) in the online reader, the solution is to download the file to your computer or tablet and use a Comic reading program like Cdisplay (or any number of other FREE downloadable programs) to read the comic.

OR you  can change the file extension from .cbz to .zip and unzip the image files and read them individually.

bambos,  I've just noticed your comments on this paper and apart from echoing what narfstar writes, I'd like to add to Krac's notes.  I downloaded the file and went to the centre spread using CDisplayex and on my pc screen I found it readable.  Then I used the zoom and the quality of the scan became more apparent.  No problem reading it
So try what Krac suggests and take what narfstar has written to heart.  We do this for free, for a love of comics and story papers, and give our time and efforts because we want these treasures to survive.
Perhaps an apology to Bogoff would be appropriate as he is one of the most prolific scanners hereabouts and his work is greatly appreciated. 
I look forward to hearing from you on the forum.

I don't need an apology Paw.  The fact is that when I make scans they are not intended to be read online but are for people to download for their collections.  When this is done there is no particular difficulty in reading them as has been pointed out.  The remainder of the Thriller scans will be the same when I finish editing them.  I have another 26 to do.  They display well on CB+ and give members an idea what is there and whether to download or not.  If bambos doesn't wish to do this there are lots of other items on the site to read.
