Thanks guys. Glad to help.

BountyHunter · « **Reply #26 on:** July 03, 2009, 09:28:30 AM »

I have a line on issues 80-84. Hopefully I'll be able to get em. This is actual copies I'm talking about, not scans.

well, now we really want you to get that new scanner! (or used, heck I see them at the Salvation Army all the time when I'm stuck there with Maw.

BH, you buying that or would you like me too and you can reimburse me when you can. So do you have artists lined up for your project or are you doing artwork?

Found all Big Shots that are on eBay as of right now:

BH have you checked out my Sparky Watts #4? I have a partial Big Shot that I included. Based on the reference to Skyman's return so it must be close to #95

Actually, I found another auction that includes that issue that I'll probably be getting, so no need. And I have an artist working on the book. If I drew it myself, it would look like one of those comics that you used to make as a 8 yr old. Meaning, horrible. LOL Did you find the other thread where I posted a page from one of the stories?

And thanks for the Sparky Watts #4, narf. I'm downloading it right away.

DOC · « **Reply #34 on:** July 13, 2009, 07:42:25 PM »

No I didn't but will check. Glad you can get those books.

BountyHunter · « **Reply #35 on:** July 02, 2011, 11:03:43 PM »

Still looking for these issues. Just thought I'd bump this.

My Big Shot 83 is available here

BountyHunter · « **Reply #38 on:** July 16, 2011, 04:00:37 PM »

I've come to the conclusion I'm never going to find all these. blah.

lol

I just bought Big Shot Comics #72 on ebay, so one down.

narfstar · « **Reply #39 on:** July 17, 2011, 02:45:38 AM »

Look forward to the scans of 72

BountyHunter · « **Reply #40 on:** July 17, 2011, 12:45:03 PM »

I still don't have access to a scanner. That's the problem.

Try setting something up with one of the scanners here who lives close to you to scan it for you.
That would work.

Wow, I can't believe how hard it is to track these stories down. I've been up one hill and down the other side, and I'm still pretty much where I was when I started this thread.

Anybody else had any luck?

narfstar · « **Reply #43 on:** January 05, 2013, 07:24:16 PM »

Actually we had very few Big Shots now there are serveral. I have been able to fill a few holes. Big Shot is not usually one of the cheaper titles. A lot of the strip reprint books go cheaper but Big Shot had several originals like Skyman, The Face and Sparky Watts.

BountyHunter · « **Reply #44 on:** January 17, 2015, 08:08:53 PM »

Oh wow, sorry for the necro post, but are these actually on the site now??? YES!!!

narfstar · « **Reply #45 on:** January 18, 2015, 03:32:28 AM »

It is amazing the books that come here.

BountyHunter · « **Reply #46 on:** February 07, 2015, 01:07:31 PM »

Well, I'm a happy guy now.

Ron Frantz and Mort Todd, the guys who did the Return of Skyman comic, are on facebook right now still claiming to own Skyman. I guess they've been causing a stink with Dynamite and now with Dark Horse for using the character. They still claim they bought the rights from the owner, but I have yet to see any evidence that they do, in fact, own the character. I'm pretty sure you can't own a public domain character. I'm trying to find out, but I'm not having any luck so far.

Ron Frantz, via facebook:

This is Ron Frantz here: I guess it is appropriate that I should address your question instead of Mort. First, let me say that simply because someone (anyone) might claim that certain comic book characters are PD does not make it so. In the case of Skyman and The Face, I base my claim of ownership on the fact that I purchased the rights in 1986 from the creator and original publisher, Mr. Vincent Sullivan. I have addressed this situation several times recently in Ditkomania and elsewhere. As you probably know, I published comics featuring the characters in 1987. I still have the cancelled checks and my original correspondence with Mr. Sullivan. I am represented by legal counsel and I am both willing an able to produce these documents in Federal Court if push should ever come to shove. Now, as to why I have "allowed" other publishers to use the characters in other publications, I have not. This has ordinarily been done without my knowledge or consent. I have most recently brought these matters to the attention of one particular publisher, who has been informed that I am prepared to pursue litigation if necessary. As you put it...I am not "trying to be a dick or anything," but it is simply a matter of necessity to protect my rights and legal ownership of the characters. By my way of thinking, this is only fitting and proper. I hope you (and others) will respect this. As the matter now stands, ACE Comics is the only publisher authorized to use the characters in comic books or any other media.

Had most of them and sold them last year (Sorry) as we are moving and I have t odrasticall yreduce the amount of comcis I own would love to see a scanned version so I could read it again

BountyHunter · « **Reply #48 on:** August 21, 2017, 03:43:50 PM »

Skyman just appeared on Project Superpowers Herokillers #2s cover. I guess Dynamite still hasn't gotten the memo that Skyman isn't public domain? 😄

Or perhaps Dynamite paid the appropriate royalties...
