I've just added a couple of items in the British Story Papers section.  The first is another issue of The Triumph is a taster in the Boy's Own Paper section, the Index for 1891-92.  I have all the items on the Index apart from the Christmas and Summer numbers.  As I get time to edit one I'll upload it.

wow more cool stuff you have

A few of the Boy's Own Paper have been uploaded along with another Triumph.  The B.O.P.
are a bit stained or marked occasionally but still readable.

I've now finished uploading the year of Boy's Own Papers.  Nos. 705 and 706 seem to have disappeared and if so I'll try again later.  The last issue of the year had only half the normal number of pages and I don't know whether anything else went with it.  Hardly a good buy at one penny as it was.

For the time being I shall have to stop editing Triumphs.  To finish I've uploaded one of the later issues from not long before the paper ceased due to the war.  This is the only issue I have which contains part of a picture serial.

Looking at the issues as displayed it is obvious that the reason for only eight pages in the last issue is because the index of eight pages came with it.

As usual, excellent stuff, Bob.  This is really odd as the picture serial in the Triumph you mention is already on site, here:-
https://comicbookplus.com/?dlid=23945
Where I originally found it is now a mystery. 
Found it. It was in 4 Shared  Can't find any more.

I did upload that picture story episode to Britcomics.  It may have come from there.

I've just uploaded Adventure #2 to the British Story Paper section.  It isn't perfect but as I was scanning photocopies made from a bound volume it has turned out better than I thought.

Thanks to Minotaur who sent two missing pages I've now been able to complete a full year of Boy's Own Paper.

Look out for some more Amazing Stories that will fill a gap if they are found to be PD.  None are my scans.  They are too well done.

I've just uploaded several items by FTP.

One is an ancient French text item which I think was for children.  I don't know which section it would go in if you want it.

The rest are the remainder of the L.Miller UK reprints of Fawcett comics in the Captain Marvel Adventures Weekly series.  There is a major problem with these.  A previous owner obviously didn't like discoloured Sellotape residue so the comics were stitched with a sewing machine.  While this was quite effective when a quarter of an inch from the margin it was not so good when further in as the pages do not open fully.  I've left them as two page spreads and if anyone feels like editing them into better shape please do so.  I have the original tifs that were scanned if that would help.  Although not very readable they will do to show which US comics provided the stories.

Bob,  I'd like to have a look at your ancient French item so if you can shove it into the French section , that would do fine. 

[hoover]

It is now in the French Section.  If you find a place for it please delete it from my ftp folder.

Thanks Bob.  I've downloaded it for a read later.  Did this Mon Journal morph into the 20th century comic of the same name?
http://bdmonjournal.free.fr/index.htm
because the new one started in 1946 and the info. site above makes no mention of a previous 19th. century paper. Can anyone help?
Further searches suggest that it's not the same -no mentions that I can find.  Just curious.

[hoover]

I asked a Frenchman for some info on the title and this was his reply.
"Hi,

first of all, I was thinkg: 1893 ? A mistake, this have to be 1993.

Second, I realized that there was no comic book name (since Mon Journal, in comics is just like Fleetway: it is a company name).

Third, I downloaded the archive to discover it is not a zip, but a rar file.


AND, I never saw it on sale

[paw broon]

O.K. good try.  I'll have alook at the link.  Thanks Bob.

I see Braddock is uploading some issues of The Rover story paper.  I don't think he has put up any that contain The Pony Express which was one of their star stories.  I've just started to upload the original version which was in The Wizard.  I hope to get the whole story up when I get time to edit them.  The later version used the same text but in different order at times and all the illustrations were redrawn using the same scene from a slightly different angle.

Bob

[paw broon]

Nice, clean scans and some great impact covers Bob.  Thanks.

[hoover]

All issues of The Wizard which contain The Pony Express story are now uploaded.  I'll finish off the rest of 1937 eventually.

[hoover]

I've just uploaded a few copies of Boy's Cinema.  I can't say I've heard of the films mentioned in them but they were from the Thirties which was before even I was born.

The final issue of The Skipper has been added to the British story paper section.

Bob

I've added some more 1937 Wizards.  I think I left the note in the description of #741 in when I uploaded #742.  If so please remove it from the latter.
Bob

[MarkWarner]

MANY THANKS! All done now!

[hoover]

I've finally finished editing the complete 1937 Wizards which are now uploaded.

I've uploaded some more early Rover to the British Story Paper section.  They are scans from bound copies and really need more editing than I have time for.  The centre spreads are from photocopies from another source and although they are sometimes easier to read at other times they are over-inked and spotty.  They also tend to make the illustrations harsher so I've kept to scans where possible.  If they are thought to be good enough I can upload more.  Alternatively if someone would like to edit them they are welcome to have a go.

I've uploaded some Rovers to fill the gaps in Braddock's 1941 uploads.  Mine were scanned from bound copies so the edges are not always easily readable.  I have photocopies which may be better to read in parts but they are sometimes over-inked and also the artwork looks better in Grayscale.
If Braddock has other D C Thomson Big 5 story papers up to 1943 I'll be happy to try and fill any gaps.
