I can't log in at ALL; not even as a normal user.

Hopefully this will be fixed soon.

And Real life is going to be hitting me hard the next few weeks; but I'll get some scans up when I can.

Thanks to Ontology and a cast of dozens, we now have the fills for JVJ's copy of Fantastic Comics 22! I can't get onto the main site right now, but it's in the FTP for those of you with access and I'll post it to the site as soon as I can log in again. This is a very hard to find book; Heritage has only handled one copy and that one was relatively low grade. Now thanks to JVJ and Ontology we have it for you, cover to cover, mostly paper, and ready to enjoy!

Great work, guys, and thanks!

Another tale of the Banshee...another Black Fury...the origin of the Queen of Evil...and yet more! This is certainly an issue I've been witing for! Hurrah!

All thanks to Jim and OtherEric for the scans.
Great job guys!

OtherEric · « **Reply #278 on:** October 20, 2009, 05:53:50 AM »

And Ontology; he deserves full credit as well on this one. His Fiche fills were some of the best fiche pages I can recall seeing.

OtherEric · « **Reply #279 on:** November 20, 2009, 04:21:04 AM »

And not QUITE back on track scanning yet, but...

I knew I had forgotten something earlier!

Target Comics v3 n10 now on the FTP; I scanned it MONTHS ago and returned it to JVJ but never got around to editing it. Slight damage to some pages but still a very readable book. And by some miracle, while JVJ's copy was missing the Spacehawk story completely I found that story (and ONLY that story) posted online a while back as well. So it's complete, yay! Enjoy!

Now to see if I can knock out a new book tonight...

Yoc · « **Reply #280 on:** November 20, 2009, 05:46:57 AM »

Thanks Eric!
I'll have the book up shortly.

Small suggestion - could you name the jpgs inside so it indicates the title and issue?
If by some horrible disaster we experience another server failure like 2008 that required the books be given names based on the first file name we'll have thousands of '01.cbz' books. That's how it happened in 08. Luckily many of the books did have enough info in the first jpg to know what it was and easily correct the file name.

I'll quickly rename the files in this Target scan of yours to 'TargetV3#10_pg..' before I add it.

Thanks again, take care,
-Yoc

OtherEric · « **Reply #281 on:** November 20, 2009, 06:02:22 AM »

Will do, Yoc, at least on the first page. Or is there a good program to add a leading name to every file in a folder? I don't want to name every page, which is the only way I know how to do it right now. (One page: easy. 68: still easy, but tedious.

)

Yoc · « **Reply #282 on:** November 20, 2009, 06:16:03 AM »

The first page is fine if that's easiest for you Eric.

ie: 01-TargetV3#10 works for me.

I know there are several multiple file renaming apps out there but I've been using Total Commander for years and it's an amazing app for everything it does. I highly recommend it to everyone!

Hopefully back on track finally, holiday not withstanding.

Now for a change of pace: Juke Box Comics #1 is on the FTP. An interesting book; what was originally a bunch of articles on contemporary artists is now a selection of historical pieces. But who can't love Toth drawing Spike Jones?

Enjoy!

Yoc · « **Reply #284 on:** November 27, 2009, 06:35:42 AM »

Welcome back Eric.
I'll have JBC1 up shortly.

-Yoc

OtherEric · « **Reply #285 on:** December 05, 2009, 05:59:18 AM »

Juke Box Comics #2 now on the FTP. Instead of early Toth we've got early Gil Kane in this one.

I wonder if anybody has the slightest idea why the first page of the King Cole Trio story has Ephrata on the road sign? It looks like a last minute change; and surely if you were trying to convey that you're as far from New York as possible (which seems to be the point) Walla Walla would be better known?

darwination · « **Reply #286 on:** December 05, 2009, 03:53:45 PM »

Wow! These are AWESOME! Spike Jones fits right into the world of four color madness.

Cheers,

Darwin (swing addict)

Yoc · « **Reply #287 on:** December 05, 2009, 05:17:44 PM »

Thanks Eric, it's going up shortly.

OtherEric · « **Reply #288 on:** December 05, 2009, 11:21:36 PM »

Glad you like them, Darwin. This is a decidedly oddball and obscure little title that won't appeal to everybody; but I think it's a hoot and a half. Luckily JVJ has the whole run and I'm working through them.

narfstar · « **Reply #289 on:** December 06, 2009, 12:02:46 AM »

Now I gotta try Juke Box

OtherEric · « **Reply #290 on:** December 17, 2009, 08:10:14 AM »

Juke Box 6 now available, courtesy of JVJ. As I mentioned when I posted my latest issue of Peter Wheat, this one took me much longer than usual. JVJ's copy is very brittle, and damaged to the point where he has taken it apart and put it into a binder, every page in a separate plastic sleeve. Which is a great idea, it makes for a very readable book and prevents further damage. However, I doubted my ability to get great scans through the plastic, and most of the sleeves had small stray bits of paper. So I had to scan sheet by sheet, which took extra care and killed any of my normal rhythm on scanning a book. So I wound up doing it in small chunks.

Anyway, it's here now and, if I do say so myself, is looking pretty sharp. Gil Kane art on one story. Enjoy!

OtherEric · « **Reply #291 on:** December 17, 2009, 09:45:25 AM »

And Juke Box #5 is now on the FTP ready for posting, as well. Give me a relatively clean book and some free time and this is how long I should take per issue. It's just getting that free time around the holidays...

darwination · « **Reply #292 on:** December 17, 2009, 11:15:27 PM »

Can't wait to see which musicians are included in these issues. In fact I'm raiding the ftp right now (ah the priviledges of scanning comics, heh heh

). Thanks guys!!

Yoc · « **Reply #293 on:** December 18, 2009, 01:08:20 AM »

Both are now up on the site.
Thanks to Jim, Eric and Narf!

OtherEric · « **Reply #294 on:** December 31, 2009, 01:08:18 AM »

And, with holiday delays mostly past:

Juke Box Comics #3 now on the FTP. Both Toth and Gil Kane art in this one. Enjoy!

narfstar · « **Reply #295 on:** December 31, 2009, 02:24:03 AM »

JukeBox 3 now available thanks OE

Yoc · « **Reply #296 on:** December 31, 2009, 06:16:16 AM »

Thanks very much Narf!

OtherEric · « **Reply #297 on:** December 31, 2009, 08:28:03 AM »

And Juke Box Comics #4 is now up on the FTP, completing the run of this title. It's a decidedly oddball book but I do think it deserves some attention and I'm glad JVJ has shared it with us.

OtherEric · « **Reply #298 on:** January 14, 2010, 08:47:06 AM »

And now, for something completely different....

Instead of an obscure, short-lived title from Eastern/ Famous Funnies from 1948 featuring early Toth artwork, JVJ and I bring you an obscure, short-lived title from Eastern/ Famous Funnies from 1948 featuring early Toth artwork.

Wait, let me check my notes here...

And now, for something somewhat different:

Sugar Bowl Comics #1, now on the FTP. Lots of rare Toth: a 10-page story, several text illos, and the cover. Enjoy!

Yoc · « **Reply #299 on:** January 14, 2010, 08:26:25 PM »

Rare Toth you say?!
Going up soon Eric and thanks!
