I can't get the thing to upload to the FTP, but pretty soon Aussie should be uploading my scan of CAPTAIN MARVEL ADVENTURES #27. I'm back on the case, gang.
-
Soon! They were already there, l am not quite that slow, despite my sometimes non existant internet connection. Captain Marvel Adventures 27, 106, 121 and 129 were uploaded.
-
Thanks, Aussie! And as soon as you get it, I'm sure you'll upload COMICS NOVEL #1 (Anarcho, Dictator of Death) which I just did today. Keep 'em flying!
-
l will try, but l am having problems with my connection at the moment which might keep me of DC++ for a few days.
-
cool. I've wanted to read Anarcho for myself ever since reading about it in Steranko's History of Comics back in the mid 70's. Great share.
-
Thank yez. I don't know if they ever revived Radar or not (he might have cameoed in POWER OF SHAZAM after I quit reading it), but in his day he did x-over with both Captain Marvel and the Phantom Eagle. Fawcett heroes crossed over so much you'd think they were in the 60's Marvel Universe or something. ;-)
-
Hello Darkmark! Thanks for all the Golden Age goodies :)
-
And thanks for all the work on our scans, deputy Kolo! ;-)
-
l am at the moment uploading darkmarks latest scans they should appear on the site sometime in the next 6 odd hours, l just wanted to know if it was OK to change the covers on the Fox Giants, All Good Comics, l found better ones.

-
It's all right by me. I like the look of the back cover you supplied.
-
Darkmark's latest scans for those who might not have noticed them.
All Good Comics nn (1944) (c2c, part b&w)
And all these ones are fiche scans.
Black Cat 08, 09, 14 and 18
Captain Marvel Jr. 013
Comics Novel 01
Marvel Family 54, 70 and 78
If l forgot to upload any let me know darkmark and l will upload them.
-
Well, there's Spy Smasher #3, and Plastic Man #47. Thanks for getting all those. More to come!
DM
-
l also uploaded spy Smasher 004 and Plastic Man 59
-
Thanks a bunch, Aussie. I plan on doing a couple a day. Sorry, but...you knew the job was dangerous when you took it!
-
Perhaps to make it easier for me to keep up you could list what l am to fetch, including any corrected versions l might need to replace?
-
Might be a good idea. I'll see what I can do.
-
If I were to send scans in a jpeg would you be able to transform them to the .cbz files for the site?
Thanks.
-
I'd bet that you could do it yourself easier than you can e-mail the source files. A CBZ file is just the JPEG or GIF image files in a ZIP archive, renamed. CBR is a RAR archive, in case you were curious.
(Exception: CDisplay and other comic readers use a slightly different sort order on the images than Windows does. Windows tries to be smart and so it displays file3.jpg before file10.jpg, because 3 is less than 10. More "naive" software, like CDisplay, puts them in the other order, because 1 is less than 3. The take-home point is that you should make sure that every image file's name starts the same way and pads the page number with zeroes.)
-
Rez: Not sure what you mean. Are you talking about sending the whole fiche as one scan, or broken down into individual page scans? If you have stuff I don't, let's talk about it.
-
Aussie: Today the uploads are Wow Comics #44 and Police Comics #32. Go get 'em. And thanks. ;D
-
Today I uploaded two Police Comics and two Wow Comics to the FTP. I'm not sure what we don't have here, Aussie, so I'm going to have to sort thru things before I post the rest. Thanks. You can up all four of those issues to the site.
-
Thanks for all the scans, Darkmark. :)
-
Thanks darkmark. :)
-
OK, crew. Went and uploaded a big buncha Captain Marvel stuff to the FTP. Not going to detail it all, but you can have at it, Aussie. Hope you enjoy it. And BTW, that's not really Spy Smasher #11 in our share...that's Spy Smasher Mighty Midget Comics #11. I'll get the last two Smashers done a few books from now.
-
And BTW, that's not really Spy Smasher #11 in our share...that's Spy Smasher Mighty Midget Comics #11.
If l water it will it grow into a full size Spy Smasher?
-
It'll probably just turn into a digest.
-
OK l downloaded the Captain Marvel 001 because l was suspicious, it is a reprint and not public domain. Unfortunately l have neither space not bandwidth to download all of them, which ones are actually originals either from fiche or paper?
-
A reprint, huh? Sorry, it's been a long time since I checked 'em out. AFAIK, the rest are all fiche and paper. Want me to delete Cap #1?
-
I've deleted the reprint edition of CMA #1 and I'm getting in a fiche scan from a friend. So hold on, we'll have that sucker yet.
-
OK, just uploaded Wow Comics #69, the last issue before it became Western Hero, to the FTP. Everything in my folder there is fiche or paper, now, not reprint. Grab it while the grabbing's good.
-
Thanks for all the great stuff, Darkmark.
-
Thanks darkmark.
-
You're welcome, and thanks for uploading all the stuff, Aussie! Spa fon!
-
Captain Marvel Adventures #58 should be on the FTP by the time you finish reading this. Go get it, Aussie!
-
Thanks darkmark.
-
Today we have Captain Marvel Adventures #81 and Spy Smasher #10. All yours, Aussie.
-
reposted from Shazam-L:
+++++
Thanks DM,
But I notice both the Spy Smasher #10 YouSendIt link AND the one on GA-UK's FTP have an incomplete page 09.
Any chance you could reupload the file and perhaps a separate pg09 for those of us who already have the incomplete file?
The CMA book was complete.
Thanks again for all your work on these,
-Yoc
-
While on the subject of missing pages DM..
Any chance of getting fills for the following?
Plastic Man #047 has duplicates on pages 07 and 08,
Plastic Man #048 has duplicates on pages 02 and 03
Marvel Family #055 has duplicates on pgs 06 and 07
Wow #48 has duplicates on pgs22 and 23 (missing first pg of the second MrScarlet story)
Wow #66 has duplicates on pgs 31 and 32 while pgs 33-35 are a mixture of dupes and out of order.
That's all I've found so far but I haven't gone through all of the latest books yet. Any help would be great on these DM.
Thanks!
-Yoc
-
Geez. Well, I corrected the Plas issues in later copies, but I'll have to see about the rest. Thanks, Yoc. Meanwhile, back at the scanner, we've uploaded Marvel Family #26. Hope you enjoy it.
-
l am confused now, where did the Spy Smasher 10 vanish to? There was only one page missing, better than nothing, l was leaving it there to see if darkmark was going to upload another copy, if not l still wanted it. Why did Yoc upload the Marvel Family #26, was there something wrong with darkmark's upload, or is that just a mistake l can change? And is that Marvel Family 66 ready?
Please do not get upset darkmark, but l was wondering if when uploading you could indicate in your post which scans are fiche, l do not always have a copy to check and like to indicate on the site which scans are fiche. Sorry about all the trouble. :(
Edit - l will add a bigger cover for the Marvel Family 066, thanks for the scan darkmark, it was a nice read.
-
Hi Aussie,
I too had left the SpySmasher10 on the FTP with a note not to add it to the site in hopes DM would have a set of complete scans still at hand. I guess DM removed it.
Sorry about the MF26 mistake. Of course DM should get credit as the author and I've now corrected it.
Checking the MF66 it does look complete minus the missing ifc,ibc.
Yes, if DM could add if a scan is fiche in the file name that would be helpful.
Thanks for your shared DM!
:D
-
I replaced the page on the Spy Smasher scan. Did you get it?
-
OK, heroes. I will TRY to get some corrections done if I find that the fiche scans are indeed bollixed. But right now I'm occupied with a few more pressing things (no need to bruit it about) and doing *new* scans as well. I'm glad you seem to like 'em so far. I know fiche are sometimes hard to read but, hey, baby, half a loaf... As they say on Krypton, blessings on your house.
-
I replaced the page on the Spy Smasher scan. Did you get it?
No, if l am on DC++ at some point l will have a look for it.
-
Just uploaded Captain Marvel, Jr. #117.
(dramatic pause)
You got a problem with that??
-
Tonight we finish up the Spy Smasher run with the real #11. Go grab it, even if it is a fiche!
-
Okay, today it's Daredevil #6 (Lev Gleason) and Worlds of Fear #8 (Fawcett). I think there may be one mistake in WOF, but maybe we can get it corrected later. Thanks.
-
Dude!
You so rock!
Thanks.
Viva' la scanners!
-
Thanks for the new scans DM!
;D
-
Thanks, Rez and Yoc!
-
Yes, thanks for the scans darkmark. Keep up the good work!
octal
-
Now on the FTP: Daredevil Comics #7 from Lev Gleason. Grab it, Aussie!
-
Thanks DM!
;D
-
And now I've uploaded Daredevil Comics #8 and 11 and a new version of America's Best Comics #23, this time with joins, to the FTP. Go grab 'em, Aussie!
-
Thanks DM
-
Yer welcome, Rez.
-
Thanks Dark
-
Thanks for the new scans DM!
Now up on the site.
-
The latest is Captain Marvel Adventures #72, missing 4 pages. I think this may have been interrupted at the end of the upload, so check it out to make sure it's all right. Thanks.
-
The last page is broken DM.
If you'd like to reupload the book that would be nice.
Thanks!
-
Just re-upped it so it should be good to go.
-
New Scan: Captain Marvel, Jr. #48, now on the FTP. Go get it, Aussie!
-
Thanks darkmark, was it a paper scan or fiche?
-
Paper, definitely.
-
Now on the FTP, NYOKA #7 from 1947. Yes, it's a paper scan. All yours, Aussie.
-
Thanks DM!
;D
-
And I just went and did a NYOKA #68! Somebody stop me!!!
-
Aussie, you need to get the NYOKA #68, and I repackaged IW's STRANGE PLANETS #12 with the cover from the original, Avon's ROCKET TO THE MOON. Thanks!
-
Thanks DM!
-
The latest is Daredevil Comics #12 from 1942. If you please, Aussie...
-
Hi DM,
I hate to say it but your DareDevil 12 has a duplicate page in the Claw story.
63.jpg is a duplicate of the last page of the story 64.jpg.
The actual pg6 of the story is missing.
-
Ehhh, boy...it ain't like that's the first time it's happened, Yoc. ;-) Thanks for catching it. I'll upload a corrected version shortly. Any other finds?
-
Thanks DM.
I didn't notice anything else missing for that book no.
:)
-
Appreciated, Yoc. Right now I'm uploading Golden Arrow #1 (1942) to the FTP. It goes in the Fawcett share. Hope you enjoy it.
-
Uploading a fiche scan of Golden Arrow #6 to the FTP. The source material isn't the greatest, but it should at least be readable. You can get it when it's done, Aussie.
-
Thanks darkmark. :)
-
Yvw, Aussie, and thanks for having me here.
-
Should be on the FTP by the time you read this: Daredevil Comics #13 (with the origin of the LITTLE WISE GUYS!) and a corrected version of Marvel Family #55. Onward!
-
Thanks DM!
And thanks for the now complete Marvel Family 55 as well.
Looking forward to more new and corrected scans in the future.
:D
-
Got another one on the ftp, Captain Midnight #5 from 1942. Up for grabs, Aussie!
-
Also scanned one from paper, Skypilot #11 from Ziff-Davis. Kinda quirky...how many comics do you know have missionaries as heroes? ;-) Hope you enjoy it.
-
And one final paper scan for tonight: RED CIRCLE COMICS #2, a 1945 Enwil comic, missing the centerfold. That's all, folks.
-
Thanks darkmark.
-
yvw, Aussie. More to come!
-
muchas gracias
-
> Should be on the FTP by the time you read this: Daredevil Comics #13 (with the origin of the LITTLE WISE GUYS!) and a corrected version > of Marvel Family #55. Onward!
Thanks for continuing to post these issues of Daredevil, Darkmark! Maybe at some point you could post a replacement to the current copy of DD #02, if you have acces to a fiche or paper copy of that one. The current copy is illegible in a number of places.
Cheers!
-

Thanks, Darkmark, for that great stuff.
I have enhanced the Red Circle cover.

Wish I could, but fiche is all I have right now. Better than nothing. Thanks!
-
Do you have a fiche of Daredevil 002? l would be willing to have a go at editing one to see if it is possible to get one easier on the eyes.
-
I do and I'll try to pass it on to you. In the meantime, the latest download is DAREDEVIL COMICS #14, now on the FTP. Thanks, Aussie!
-
Thanks darkmark. :)
-
Yvw, Aussie. And now, on our very own FTP...Captain Midnight #14, in fiche form! It's all yours.
-
Thanks, DM! 8)
-
You're welcome, Cim! The latest upload is Daredevil Comics #15. Please transfer that and the latest Captain Midnight, Aussie, and thanks.
-
Also, Captain Midnight #21 from 1944 should be up by the time you read this. Go get it, Aussie!
-
Thanks darkmark. :)
-
Hi DM,
It looks like this book didn't finish uploading.
It's only 20.50mb. If you try again it should resume the upload without needing to start over.
:)
Also, Captain Midnight #21 from 1944 should be up by the time you read this. Go get it, Aussie!
-
I just deleted the old version and upped the complete version. Thanks, Yoc!
-
And now it's Daredevil Comics #19. A fiche, entirely uploaded. Please transfer, Aussie. Thanks.
-
Finally, we have Captain Midnight #52 on the FTP. Thanks, folks.
-
Thanks DM!
I've checked and they all seem complete.
I've added them and an Improved Golden Lad 02 as well to the site.
I added in a paper scan of the Swiftarrow story to your set. No idea where I got that one from. Likely Golden Years or Pure Excitement. I also upgraded the cover and back cover.
:)
-
Appreciated, Yoc. I'll have to download your version.
-
Good work, Yoc, I enjoyed your version. The latest in my share is Kid Eternity #3, hope you enjoy it.
-
Just uploaded Daredevil Comics #22, a darned good issue with a darned bad villain. Hope you enjoy it. It's a fiche scan.
-
Finally, we have a Golden Lad #3. I wish all Golden Age comics were 36 pagers like this one, they'd be so much easier to paginate!
-
I wish all Golden Age comics were 36 pagers like this one, they'd be so much easier to paginate!
As a rule it was only the tail end of the Golden Age that saw the arrival of the now standard 36 pagers, and YES they ARE a lot easier to scan !
Going right back to the mid thirties and titles like New Comics ( later 'New Fun' and later still 'More Fun') a kid got over 80 pages for his dime ( although not all in colour) but by the Time Superman and co showed up 68 pages seemed the standard format.
By the mid forties 60 pages became the norm and just before today format came in they srunk down to 52 pages.
Having said this there were a few war time 'blips' when a few titles dropped down to a mere 36 pages, Timely and Ace being a couple of companies to suffer this way but returned to their then regular sizes when the paper shortages eased.
-Nigel
-
Thanks darkmark.
-
yvw, Aussie, and you're absolutely right, nigel. In some Forties comics, particularly Timely, you would see 34 pages (remember, one less page equals 2 pages). And in others, probably a lot of companies, you'd see one staple in the middle holding them together...metal rationing. The page count varied a LOT, with 36 page issues one month, then back to 52-pagers the next. The real reason the Superman / Batman team was born was because WORLD'S FINEST shrunk its pages, and rather than dump Supes, Bats, or too many of the back features, DC elected to combine the two biggies in one story. Thus, the first team-up comic. Howard Keltner's index is a wealth of info on this, and I'm glad to have talked to him and contributed to the index while Howard was still alive.
Anyway, back to the Kid Eternity scans.
-
Now appearing on the FTP: KID ETERNITY #4, with guest shots by Dracula, Frankenstein, Mr. Hyde, and Sherlock Holmes. Alan Moore's mother must have read this comic. Enjoy.
-
Alan Moore's mother must have read this comic.
Or maybe he was looking over my shoulder in the late 60's !!! >:(
-Nigel
P.S. When can I expect that royaltie cheque Alan ? ::)
-
Probably when he gets back from Pepperland. Anyway, the latest is Daredevil Comics #23, and hopefully it's a better scan. Go for it, Aussie!
-
Thanks DM.
Say, these do look a little easier to read. Congrats!
I recall ages ago asking Rolster just exactly what does he do when he scans fiche and he sent me the following. Not sure if any of it would be of help but I figure the information can't hurt right?
The Rolster Method of Fiche Scanning:
You need an Epson Perfection 4180 PHOTO scanner (or the equivalent),
which is available refurbished at the Epson site for about $100.
You take the poster board and make a frame for the fiche/film with it,
then double it (two pieces of poster board). You want the fiche to
sit just about a mm above the scanbed. Then you put the glass *on
top* of the fiche. The fiche will stick to the glass, holding it
above the scanbed, and it also helps focus it for some reason.
Do not put glass under the fiche. You'll end up with light artefacts
similar to Newton's rings.
Make sure the part of the fiche you want to scan is under the lid
light, and make sure the lid light is activated. Scan using film
settings at 4800 dpi. Do not use a higher dpi, as the scan just gets
blurrier.
You may need to play with the height of the posterboard frame, as each
scanner appears to have a slightly different focus point. For myself,
two pieces of posterboard is usually fine. With some fiche, the scan
becomes clearer with a third piece of posterboard. Test a single page
before scanning the whole book.
Once the fiche is scanned, editing methods differ depending on the
person's whims and desires. The green is mostly lost if the book that
was fiched was yellowed at all, so don't feel too bad if you can't.
I couldn't tell you if he's changed anything lately. The above was from quite a while back.
I've been helping him edit his fiche lately. When I get them I run them through Photoshop.
I correct the colour levels first (ctrl-L) adjusting the white and black levels to brighten them up but not to the point of blasting out the details. Then I run them through Sharpen and Sharpen More. I save them as a Jpg compressed to level 6 or 7 while resizing them to 1500 pixels tall.
Thanks again for the scans DM.
Take care,
-Yoc
-
Thanks, Yoc. Fiche scans are notoriously tougher to read, and I've been feeling my way through them, but I think there's been some improvement. Keep 'em flying!
-
Your welcome DM.
Loftypilot is also scanning some fiche but I know his method is slightly different.
I believe a key difference is he must sacrifice a virgin before each book and he says it's getting hard to find any down his way.
;) :D
Good luck with the fiche,
-Yoc
-
The latest is Kid Eternity #10. Wonder if I could summon up some more GA issues by yelling..."ETERNITY!"?
Hmmm, guess not.
-
Thanks DM, it's now on the site.
;D
-
Thanks, Yoc! And now you can put Daredevil #28 on the site, too. Hope I'm not going too fast! ;-)
-
:D
No worries on that DM. I can keep it up as fast as you can.
After all I've got the easy part of the job.
Expect the new DD on the site shortly.
-Yoc
-
Thanks again, Yoc. And by the time you read this, Kid Eternity #11 should be on the FTP. Yours for the grabbing.
-
Now up!
;D
-
Thanks, Yoc! Now appearing at an FTP near you...Daredevil Comics #31, with the less-than-permanent death of the Claw! This is the last of my Daredevils, so enjoy it while you can. Keep 'em flying!
-
And while you're at it, pick up the scans of Clue Comics #5 there. Just to keep you from being Clueless. ;-)
-
Thanks DM, they will be up shortly.
:D
-
Thanks, Yoc, and I finally got Kid Eternity #13 up there, too. All yours.
-
Thanks for the great Daredevils! Glad to finally see the "death" of The Claw (which lasted almost a decade, if I recall).
-
You're welcome, Doc! Now on the FTP, my one and only ish of Prize Comics, #29, with a Dick Briefer Frankenstein story. Go get it, folks.
-
Thanks DM but wow... is that one big file! :o
Perhaps in the future if a file is over 100mb could you break it into two parts for those with slower connections? We've seen that done in the past a couple times.
I just checked and it looks to be all there - expect it on the site shortly.
-Yoc
-
I'll sure try to. The dang thing took half an hour to upload. Thanks, Yoc.
-
The latest is a fiche scan of KID ETERNITY #17, my last KE. It's missing 2 pages, but what the hey. And it's MUCH smaller than the Prize Comics scan. Thanks!
-
Thanks DM, it's up on the site. :D
-
Thanks, Yoc. Now on FTP: Clue Comics #6 (fiche and paper) and a one-story scan from Kid Eternity #1. Go get 'em.
-
Thanks DM!
I grabbed the Clue to give it a check and see there are GIF pages that have been renamed as JPGs incorrectly and CDisplay can't open them.
I'm going to correct them and do a quick tweak of the fiche before adding it to the site if that's ok with you.
Thanks again,
-Yoc
-
Ok DM,
I've tweaked your Clue Comics 06 and uploaded it into your folder on the FTP.
If you'd like to check it and see what you think and then tell if I can add it to the site that would be great.
I converted the GIFs into true JPGS. I then ran the fiche scans through Photoshop applying sharpening filters. And finally I saved them at a smaller size. So the entire book is somewhat smaller than your version.
Let me know,
-Yoc
-
I guess it's okay, but it looks a little grainy. How'd you manage to save it in a smaller size?
-
I'll be uploading Silver Streak Comics #19 (1942) soon to the FTP. It features a comic adaptation of Leslie Charteris's Saint, as well as Silver Streak, Pirate Prince, and all the usual suspects.
However.
Be advised that this is another BIG scan.
And it is fiche.
Fiche, fiche, FICHE.
So...don't like, don't download.
That's all.
-
And here I am stuck on dialup for another week and a half and the place goes wild with great stuff :-[
-
Hi DM,
Yes, it's grainy because I applied three different sharpening filters on it in Photoshop.
I felt the artwork might be degraded but I think you will agree the readability is increased substantially.
I also tweaked the colour levels to move the white level of the pages higher making them a bit more lifelike in appearance. A bit less 'grey' as fiche tend to look.
Finally I resave them in IrFranview.
You can get IRFran for FREE from this site:
http://www.irfanview.com/
After placing all the corrected scans within the same folder I open a page in IrFranview and then type 'B' for Batch mode.
At the bottom of the opening page there is an OPTIONS button.
Hitting that lets you set the quality level as a percentage when saving.
So after choosing a new Output Folder first I try different quality levels on some test pages until I can lower the page scan size to a number in the 600-800kb range for the average page without having them look like crap.
I never save on top of the originals as you never know exactly which looks best until you've tried it a couple times.
Finally when I'm happy with the final results of the test pages I apply the setting to the entire book.
There is an ADVANCED button as well where you can do any number of tweaks to page sizes, sharpness, colours, etc. but use with caution.
Please give IrFran a try in batch mode - most of this is pretty self explanatory and it would help cut down on the page sizes considerably without hurting the quality of your scans very much if at all.
-Yoc
I guess it's okay, but it looks a little grainy. How'd you manage to save it in a smaller size?
-
Yes I use Infran for batch size changes also
-
Hi DM,
Yes, it's grainy because I applied three different sharpening filters on it in Photoshop.

Hi Yoc!
Is there any chance of applying those sharpening filters to the Nightmare and Sleepy story from Clue Comics #5?
And thanks darkmark for the uploads! I never thought I'd get to see these Clue Comics books! :)
-
Hi KB,
Once a book is on the site I have great reservations about 'tweaking them' once they've been made public.
Especially as they are not my scans. Darkmark is the scanner and I want to respect his feeling on anything like that. Clue 6 was a unique situation where I was shown a preview of the scans and DM was fine with me sharing my tweaked version instead of his own.
But there is nothing to stop yourself from applying some sharpening to each scan yourself.
IrFran and many other picture viewing/editing software include that ability.
-Yoc
-
I openly freely give anyone and everyone permission to tweek my scans. Most are uncropped and unedited so if anyone wants to improve on them be my guest and take all the credit you want. narfstar
-
Thanks, Narfstar. We have more Clue coming up in a bit. And as for further tweaking, I'd appreciate folks NOT doing it unless (1) it's replacing missing or defective pages or (2) you ask me first and I give permission. Keep 'em flying!
-
Very glad to have Silver Streak in ANY form, Darkmark. Thanks!
-
Thanks for all the latest scans DM! :)
-
Thanks, Doc and Dar. We have another Silver Streak coming later, plus MUCH more Biro goodness when I can get to it. ;-)
-
The latest upload is Clue Comics #7. Featuring Boy King, Zippo, Stupid Manny, and the usual gang of goodguys. It is FICHE. Don't like, don't download! And thanks.
-
Thanks DM, did you take a look at IrFanview?
-
Thanks for Clue Comics #7 DM!
-
And now...appearing...right on our very own...FTP...my last scan of this...particular title...in fiche...from 1943...will you give a big warm welcome to...SILVER STREAK #20! After this we will present Topo Gigio.
-
Clue Comics #8, in fiche, is the latest. Thanks, all.
-
Thanks for this issue, DM! Keep those Clue Comics books coming, if you got 'em.
I always thought it was interesting in the Nightmare & Sleepy strip that Nightmare's super suit was changed from it's original "skeleton" design (which was kind of cool and creepy) to the more simplified second costume. I guess it was easier to draw for the artists, or maybe a different artist came on board the strip and changed it after Clue #6, but man .... that second costume sure paled by comparison to the first.
-
I've got a lot more, Kranky, and you'll get to see 'em. Thanks for enjoying them. As for Nightmare, I'd agree with you...that skeleton costume really set him apart from the common herd, and underlined his name quite a bit. When he changed costumes, he just became another guy in a union suit. Stick around, though...I don't intend to leave you Clueless!

As for Nightmare, I'd agree with you...that skeleton costume really set him apart from the common herd, and underlined his name quite a bit. When he changed costumes, he just became another guy in a union suit. Stick around, though...I don't intend to leave you Clueless!
That's great news about there being more Clue Comics issues, DM. I would never get to see any of them if it weren't for you, and your efforts are much appreciated. :)
I'm glad that I'm not the only person who dug Nightmare's original skeleton costume. You really nailed it when you said how the suit underlined his name, whereas the new costume did not. If anything, the second, updated costume seemed like a strange cross between Catman and Yank and Doodle's outfits. Another funny thing was how Bob White and Terry Wake seemed to eventually have the same problems as Mr. Scarlet and Pinky -- down on their luck with no money in hand. Heck, poor Sleepy actually seems like he's starving in CC #8.
-
I LOVED Nigthmare's first costume! Top Notch! *pun intended.*
I was hoping the Nightmare would show up on the Superpowers Project.
His first costume was among the best of the GoldenAge IMO. Easily right up there with Black Terror, The Web and Capt. Courageous..... ha! *JOKING!*
I've always liked the YellowJacket's costume and I see they've got him planned for the series calling him 'Jack'. I'm also looking forward to seeing Target and the Targeteers though I'm not expecting them to have any important roles in the series.
-Yoc
-
I'm sure that someone will rescue Nightmare from his Golden Age obscurity at some point (and Sleepy too, if the kid is lucky). But I agree with you, Yoc -- it's one of the best costumes of the era.
Truth be told, I like most of the strips from the book. Zippo is a good bit of fun, and I get a kick out of Twilight as well.
-
An untold story: when I wrote a treatment for Eclipse for a final Airboy story, I included the Boy King and the Giant, as they were the only Biro-created Hillman characters who hadn't been revived. It was a lotta fun writing it, but it didn't get anywhere. C'est la vie.
-
The latest: Target Comics v7 #3, from 1946. It's a fiche. Don't like, don't download. ;) This is my one ish of Target, but we're coming up on another Clue soon. Enjoy.
-
Now up.
Sadly Target and the Targeteers only wear their costumes on the last page of a nature trip.
:-[
-
Well, maybe you'll be more satisfied with the latest offering: Clue Comics #9, which is a hybrid of paper and fiche. On the FTP. Grab it and run!
-
:-[
Hi DM,
I checked your Clue9 and there's a corrupt pg39.
I also found I had the first page of Boy King you used fiche for so I figured you might want to redo this one and upload it again with the new pages.
Just let me know when it's ready.
Thanks,
-Yoc
-
I'll see about page 39, but I deliberately used the fiche page of Boy King because it had more surface area. Thanks.
-
OK, uploaded a corrected Clue #9 along with an altered Great Action Comics #1 (IW-Super) with the cover from its source, Gold Medal Comics #1 from 1945. Enjoy.

Thanks for the latest Clue Comics issue, DM. Can't wait to read it. :)
-
yvw, kranky. More to come!
-
Thanks darkmark
-
Thanks Mark!
Say, have you got a copy of Great Action #9 to scan???
I've been wanting to see that for AGES! It's an all Phantom Lady book with never reprinted since stories.
-Yoc

-
Sorry, Yoc, but I don't have that one. I just uploaded by one issue of Harvey's ALL-NEW SHORT STORY COMICS #3, which is a pretty darn good book...a bunch of good wartime short stories by the likes of Bob Powell, and not a superhero story in it. Check it out.
-
Thanks DM.
But what we have here is a HUGE set of scans that would be better shared in two parts.
I'll look into it.
Have you tried using Irfanview yet? Please contact me in a PM if you need any help.
It would be a quick way to shrink your scans without doing any real harm to their quality.
-Yoc
-
Now on the FTP: Clue Comics #10. Fiche scan. Fairly big. First Boy Kingless ish, first ish with Gun Master. Enjoy.

Always great to have more Clue Comics, DM. Keep 'em coming! :)
-
Got about 3 more left, Kranky. Thanks!
-
And now in the FTP's center ring...CAPTAIN BATTLE #3, from 1942, featuring Cap and his partner Jr., Silver Streak, and several other features. All yours. Mostly fiche, part paper.
-
And just to make it a doubleheader here...CLUE COMICS #11, half-fiche, half-paper, all-comic. The 2nd Gun Master story, the last Stupid Manny story (horrors!!), and other good stuff. Go for it!
-
And now in the FTP's center ring...CAPTAIN BATTLE #3, from 1942, featuring Cap and his partner Jr., Silver Streak, and several other features. All yours. Mostly fiche, part paper.
My question -- I thought Captain Battle became Boy Comics with #3. In fact, I did not realize that Captain Battle #3 even existed. :o
Can someone explain to me how CB #3 works with BC #3 ??? ???
EDITS: I see Chesler's name on the cover of CB #3, but the interior has definite Lev Gleason features.
What gives? ??? ??? ???
B. :)
-
What gives is that there was a continuation of CAPTAIN BATTLE for 3 more issues, even after it became BOY COMICS. Kinda like what they did with STRANGE TALES in the 1970's, continuing the numbering from the last ish before it became DR. STRANGE. That make any sense?
And I don't know about the Chesler connection.
EDIT: The Keltner index confirms that Harry "A" Chesler's Magazine Press handled issues #3-5, which came out about a year after the two original issues of CAPTAIN BATTLE. I don't know how that worked, and #3 is the last ish I've got of the title.

Darkmark, you so totally rule! I bet Chesler just continued the numbering with some handshake agreement with Lev Gleason -- that, or he pulled a fast one! ;D ;D ;D
Thanks for the info! Next time I have a weird question like this I will remember to check my own copy of Keltner's index -- after all, I do link to it in my siggy. :D

I was happy to see this one, after only having read two of the stories from Clue Comics #11. Bob White and Terry Wake (who's now just being called Sleepy, even out of fighting togs) seem to have vanished as their costumed identities take up the entire stories. At least, for the last two issues anyway...
-
Thanks, guys. I only have a couple more issues of CLUE, so enjoy them while we have 'em. As for Chesler's CAPTAIN BATTLE, Keltner notes that issue #5 was all-reprint and he didn't ever have a copy of #4 to check. The GCD doesn't have a cover for #4 and #5 was apparently under another imprint, so my guess is that CAPTAIN BATTLE #4 doesn't exist and #3 was the last all-original ish. It's interesting to note that the Captain Battle stories in #3 apparently continue some sort of treasure hunting serial...they may be continued from SILVER STREAK COMICS. Oh, well.
-
Thanks, guys. I only have a couple more issues of CLUE, so enjoy them while we have 'em.
Any chance that #12 or #13 will be next? (although I'd kill to see issues #1, 2, and 3 for Nightmare's old threads). ;D
-
Working on #12. As for #1-3, I'll see if I can find them.
-
Not only would I like to see issue #12 (which features the final appearance of the Boy King), I would also like to see issues #s 2 & 3 as well and the rest of #1.
-
I may have them among my old CD's, but that's going to take some time to find. Meanwhile, enjoy CLUE COMICS #12, the latest upload.
-
Thanks DM.
Now up.
-
And now on the FTP, CAPTAIN BATTLE, JR. #1 from Lev Gleason, featuring Cap Battle Jr., the Claw and the Ghost, and Sniffer. Go grab it.

WOW!!! ;D ;D ;D

Preeeeeeesenting...a never-before-attempted Triple Upload! On the FTP, we now feature, for your pleasure and curiosity, not one! Not two! But THREE issues of CLUE COMICS! #1, 2, and v2 #1! The last of which features a Jack Kirby story, and the first of which features the origin of the Boy King! All yours for but a little time of downloading, so get down to it!

Yeah, Nightmare's original costume is totally cool.
B.
-
I liked Nightmare's old costume, too. In v2 #1 they totally changed the character...must've been swiping from Timely's Vision. Thanks, all.
-
I didn't have time to announce it, but STUNTMAN #1, a great Simon & Kirby book, is now in the share. You'll love this one, I think. Also CLUE COMICS #3, my last one, should be up. If it isn't, somebody let me know.
-
Unfortunately the Clue Comics 003 was only a partial upload, which is why l did not transfer it over, its under 10Mb, could you please upload it again darkmark. :)
-
RE: Clue Comics #3
:o :o :o :o :o :o :o
It is so full of awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!
Bless you Darkmark!
B. :)
-
Thanks, boox, and thanks to Aussie for uploading that one. That's the last of my CLUE COMICS, so if anybody has v2 #2 and 3, feel free.
-

Thanks again, DM. These Clue Comics issues were great to read. :)
-
yvw, Kranky! I'm just glad the stuff was appreciated. More to come...though, regrettably, no moe CLUE!
-
The latest is CAPTAIN BATTLE, JR. #2, with a fun Scoop Scuttle story by Wolverton. All yours.
-
Thanks darkmark. :)
-
Doubleheader time again: On the FTP, BOY COMICS #26 (fiche) and WHIZ COMICS #80 (paper). Enjoy. (BTW, yoc, Boy #26 was Irfanviewed...let me know how it turns out.)
-
Hi DM,
Thanks for the new scans. The Whiz was very nice.
The Boy wasn't bad either though sadly pg 9 and 10 are duplicates. I haven't added it to the site incase you wanted to add the page and reupload it. Size wise I'd have aimed for pages in the 400kb range - about twice the size you've got here but I don't say that to offend. They look fine and take up a lot less room on your HD than the old 1mb+ per page scans!
So let me know if you'll be reuploading this or not. I'll leave the incomplete version on the FTP just in case.
-Yoc
-
I'll reload it. Another dupe? Sheesh...
-
:)
Thanks DM, glad you've got it sorted.
And don't be afraid to play with the Irfanview settings. Again, a bit bigger wouldn't hurt on the final save percentage.
I hope the app will be of good use to you. I swear by it almost as much as Total Commander for file management.
-Yoc
-
And now, after a bit of a delay, we present BOY COMICS #27 (fiche). On the FTP. Handle with care.
-
Tnx DM, it's now up!
:)
-
Just for a change of pace...AMERICA'S BEST COMICS #31 from 1949. Part paper. Part fiche. All comics. All yours.
-
Thanks DM, it's now up.
:D

Just for a change of pace...AMERICA'S BEST COMICS #31 from 1949. Part paper. Part fiche. All comics. All yours.
Once again, thanks DM! I love the Black Terror story! ;D
-
Yvw, Kranky! More to come!
-
Just like I said...AMERICA'S BEST COMICS #29. Black Terror, Pyroman, Miss Masque and others. Part fiche, part paper. Partly truth and partly fiction, it's a comic contradiction. Go grab it!
-
Just like I said...AMERICA'S BEST COMICS #29. Black Terror, Pyroman, Miss Masque and others. Part fiche, part paper. Partly truth and partly fiction, it's a comic contradiction. Go grab it!
Yay! More Black Terror (and Pyroman, who's another fave)!
Thanks, DM! ;D
-
Yvw, Kranky. And now, in my unending quest to convert all the partials to fulls that I can, we present AMERICA'S BEST COMICS #16, from 1946, with the Black Terror, Doc Strange, and the Fighting Yank. Paper, fiche, and fun. Enjoy.
-
The latest greatest: BOY COMICS #28, all fiche. Crimebuster in two Biroed stories. Enjoy.
-
And now...AMERICA'S BEST COMICS #4. Fiche / paper hybrid. Pyroman, Black Terror, Doc Strange, Liberator. On the FTP, and all yours.
-
A new hybrid upload: BIG 3 COMICS #3 from Fox (1941). Four heroes, four stories, four mad scientists. Paper and fiche. Something for everybody!
-
Wonderful, DM. Can't wait to read these when they're put up. ;D
-
I can't wait to read these too. I hope to see some more Spirits sometime in the future.
-
Thanks for the the uploads darkmark.
-
Yvw. More as soon as I can. ;D
-
As our country converts to hybrid fuels, so do we continue with hybrid scans. The latest is EXCITING COMICS #2. Hint: The comic isn't. Exciting, that is. But we done it. More to come.
-
Thanks darkmark.
-
Yw, Aussie. And now the latest hybrid: EXCITING COMICS #30. Which really is kind of exciting, as it features the Black Terror, the Liberator, the American Eagle, and somebody or other else. Go get it.
-
Aw, #2 wasn't THAT bad. I happen to like the Sphinx, and the Mask, for those who don't recognize it, is a quick rewrite of their prose Black Bat. The names have been changed around, and the Batman costume (which hit the stands a couple of months before DC's Batman) has been swapped for a business suit and owl mask, but it's the same guy.
So I was happy at least.
While I don't mind them, and look forward to #30, I have to admit that the later Nedor superheroes seem sort of formulaic to me. Scientist takes a secret formula and gets super-strength and can jump or fly. Probably has a sidekick. Costumes may vary. Void where prohibited. Formula not available to...well, you get the idea.
-
And now another one of our high-powered hybrids (which saves me time on scanning and helps clear out my Partials folder)...EXCITING COMICS #66. Featuring the Black Terror by Jerry Robinson, Judy of the Jungle vs. the Leopard Woman, and a bunch of also-rans. Go grab it!
-
I've also uploaded a small bunch of Fawcetts to the FTP, some which we didn't have here, some which you had in incomplete form, and one CMA fiche scan of mine which I cleaned up and edited. Expect more of the last category when I have time.
-
Yw, Aussie. And now the latest hybrid: EXCITING COMICS #30. Which really is kind of exciting, as it features the Black Terror, the Liberator, the American Eagle, and somebody or other else. Go get it.
As always, it's great to see more Exciting Comics (and Nedor superheroes books) on the site. I think I've only got the American Eagle story from this issue, so it'll be great to finally get to see the others.
-
By the way, if someone could put DM's books up, that would be cool. ;)
-
I agree, Kranky. And while you're at it, feast your eyes on a new hybrid...FEATURE COMICS #95 (1946), featuring Doll Man, Rusty Ryan, and a whole bunch of funny fillers. The Golden Age marches on!
-
Patience boys...
these are now all up.
-
Patience boys...
these are now all up.
Thanks Yoc!
-
The latest is BOY COMICS #29, with a whole lot of Biro goodness. All yours, folks.
-
:'(
Hi DM,
I just checked your Boy29 and noticed it's got a duplicate page and is missing one page.
Pg32 and 33 are duplicates of the fourth pg of 'Little Dynamite' I think pg3 is missing as well.
I sure hope you've still got the scans available for fixing these.
I wont add the book to the site until I hear from you.
Take care,
-Yoc
-
OK, I've uploaded a corrected version to the FTP. Thanks, yoc.
-
Thanks for the fix DM!
I'll have it up shortly.
-Yoc
-
The latest high-powered hybrid is HIT COMICS #14, now on the FTP. All yours. And it's Quality.
-
Hi DM,
Could you check pg41 from your Hit14 please? The first page of the Neon story.
It's oddly squashed in the one I'm looking at. Is this the way it looks on the fiche?
I'll add it once I know it's good or wait on you uploading corrected version.
Thanks,
-Yoc
-
That's the way it was on the fiche. It was cut in half.
-
Ok, I'll add it to the site then and add a note about that odd page.
Say, if you've catch any other oddities like that just mention them here when you announce them and I won't worry about them when I happen to catch them.
:)
Thanks for the share,
-Yoc
-
Latest scan: Another hybrid, BILL BARNES COMICS #7 from Street and Smith, with a fairly horrific lead story of how we could have destroyed all of Japan with an atomic bomb. And this was published years before we destroyed some of it with two.
-
But Street and Smith is not pd :-[

I'll have to let Aussie decide on this one DM, sorry.
-Yoc
-
Well, while we're waiting for that, why not feast your eyes on these? BOY COMICS #36 and 72 for a Biro doubleheader today! First is fiche and second is paper. Enjoy.
-
Thanks for all the great scans, wish I had your resources.:)
-
:-\
Hi DM.
Just heard back from Aussie. Sorry but ALL Street&Smith are off-limits on the site.
I'll add the Boy scans and a couple of fiche Airboy issues you did scans for with NEW paper scans added!
Stay tuned!
-Yoc
-
Thanks for putting up the scans and the Airboys. I've already removed the Bill Barnes.
-
Here's a triple shot: hybrid scans of MYSTERY MEN COMICS #9 and 21, plus a cleaned-up CAPTAIN MARVEL ADVENTURES. Hope you all enjoy, and thanks to the folks who provided the paper scans of some stories.
-
Thanks darkmark. :)
-
Yvw, Aussie. Hope you're doing better. And a new scan on top of those...CAPTAIN MARVEL ADVENTURES #33, in fiche. Enjoy!
-
Must be Fawcett time out on the ranch. I just dropped a Captain Marvel Jr.#87 into the FTP yesterday.
Yvw, Aussie. Hope you're doing better. And a new scan on top of those...CAPTAIN MARVEL ADVENTURES #33, in fiche. Enjoy!
-
Thanks DM and rez!
Hey DM, any reason for redoing CMA42? We do have a paper scan already though I notice there are a couple pages in b&w and the back cover was out of order but it was still complete and from paper.
-Yoc
-
Thanks for the CMA 33; We're only one issue away from the whole Monster Society of Evil story now!
And I just went shopping online, give me about 10 days and I'll be able to plug that hole. :)
-
We have a paper version? My apologies. And thanks to the group. Seems like we're Fawcetting all over the place!
-
No problem DM. I had already added it when I noticed myself.
Great days for Fawcett here. That's fantastic news from Eric too!
;D
-
And now, another furious Fawcett fiche foisted fiercely forward...and it's a first! (Issue, that is.) CAPTAIN MARVEL ADVENTURES #1, not from reprint. You can post this one, Aussie.
-
Finally for tonight, one Quality: DOLL MAN #4, from 1942, on fiche. Hope you enjoy it. More to come!
-
Thanks darkmark. :)
-
OK, just uploaded five issues of DOLL MAN to the FTP: #4, 7, 10, 11, and 31. All are fiche except for one story in #7. Very tired. Going to bed. Finish up the rest tomorrow. Thanks, Aussie.
-
Thanks again darkmark. :)
-
And the last of the set: DOLL MAN #32, 36, 38, 40, 42, and 44. All fiche, all for you. That retires the side, with 9 issues left unscanned. Somebody else?
-
One more just to round things out: MASTER COMICS #95, all fiche. One page was truncated in the scan, but not a story page. Enjoy.
-
We've started on the stash of MILITARY / MODERN that I've just gotten in. Uploaded so far: MILITARY COMICS #9 and MODERN COMICS #44, 46, 48, and 49. All are fiche except #49, which is a hybrid. Here's hoping you enjoy them.
-
I have a few coverless Quality Blackhawks around. Not sure what numbers but will add them to my scanning pile when I find them.
-
Thanks DM, all of them are now up.
:)
-
I wish I had known you had a Fiche Master 95 on your to-do list; I've got a paper copy in my shrinking "to scan" pile. :-(
-
It's okay, Eric. Mine can be replaced.
-
Okay. We just uploaded a BIG batch of MODERN COMICS to the FTP. They're all fiche, except I think for #89, which is a hybrid. So...get to work, Yoc! ;-)
-
Yes sir! Right on it!
;)
-
Yoc, I'm sorry...but I've got one last upload for tonight. PLASTIC MAN #54, from '55, from fiche. It's just a little one, Yoc. You should be able to get this one up okay. Right?
Right?
-
You should never say sorry for uploading one more scan for our collection darkmark, we are always happy to see them. :)
-
Thanks VERY much, Aussie. ;) And now, one very, very last scan for the evening: CAPTAIN MARVEL ADVENTURES #6, from fiche. This is a redo of one I posted some months back, but much improved. I think you'll really like the colors on this one. Thanks...and good night!
-
Thanks darkmark.
-
Yvw, Aussie, hope you're feeling better. And now for tonight's double header...a new! improved! version of CAPTAIN MARVEL ADVENTURES #7, and a hybrid scan of STARTLING COMICS #17, with the Fighting Yank and Captain Future, which gets another one out of my Partials folder. More to come!
-
Also STARTLING COMICS #26, another hybrid, with the Fighting Yank, Pyroman, Captain Future, and several nonentities. Hope you enjoy.
-
Thanks DM, they're all up now!
;D
-
Thank YOU, Yoc! And here's another one for you...BOY COMICS #45, with two Crimebuster stories. All fiche, and all yours.
-
Also STARTLING COMICS #26, another hybrid, with the Fighting Yank, Pyroman, Captain Future, and several nonentities. Hope you enjoy.
Thanks so much, DM!
-
Boy is now up, thanks DM
:D
-
Thank you, Yoc and Kranky. More to come!
-
The latest is BOY COMICS #53, minus a four-page centerfold. Another hybrid scan. Enjoy.
-
And another one: THRILLING COMICS #8, a hybrid scan featuring the original Dr. (later Doc) Strange, the Ghost, the Woman in Red, and several fillers. All yours.
-
Now up, enjoy!
-
The latest is BOY COMICS #59, from fiche, featuring some neat Norman Maurer art on Crimebuster. All yours, again.
-
Just uploaded 7 issues of BLACK CAT to the FTP, which are not my scans but were done by thebigtc. They're all paper. See which ones we can use.
-
Thanks DM! Nice job!
:D
And all thanks to thebigtc for the Black Cat scans!
:) ;D
-
Yvw, Yoc. And the latest hybrid scan is BLUE BEETLE #1 from 1940, with fiche scans by me and paper scans by RichardB. Go grab it! :D
-
Thanks for the BB1 fiche DM.
Sadly, the Master book you uploaded was #96 with a duplicate page on 34-35.
We have this one on GAC already but I'm not sure if it's got the duplicate page as well.
Any chance you've got the real 94 somewhere?
-Yoc
-
Glad you let me know. If I've got the real #94 around, I don't see it. But thanks.
-
I've uploaded a number of Black Cats we didn't have to the FTP. My scans are the ones with my name on them. Thebigtc did #13, and I'm not sure about the rest.
-
Hi DM,
I've already deleted your versions of the BC books from the FTP so I can't refer back to them.
I know that Thebigtc released BC scans for 5, 6, 8, 9, 11, 12 and 22 earlier this month but didn't put them on the FTP for us.
If you've scanned any of the last ones you very nicely uploaded last night for everyone please let me know and I'll correct the listing on the site.
Sorry if anything has been confused on my part,
-Yoc
-
Not a problem, Yoc. Like I said, my scans are the ones with my name on them in the Black Cat folder. You can credit the iffy ones to "GoldenAgeComics" or something like that.
Anyway...got another scan for you. BOY COMICS #67, all fiche. Go get it!
-
OK, here's what I think I've done so far:
Updated fiche scans of two issues of CAPTAIN MARVEL ADVENTURES and one of CAPTAIN MARVEL STORY BOOK. Not perfect, but better.
BOY COMICS #67.
WONDERWORLD COMICS #6. An incomplete scan from paper, not my scans.
I THINK that's it so far. I'll probably do some later. Hope you'll unstuff my share.
-
oh yeah, and BOY COMICS #76 and 77. That's gonna do it for tonight. If anyone wants to help, the issues of BOY I don't have on scans are:
#33, 34, 40, 42, 44, 48, 49, 50, 54-56, 58, 64-66, 69, 70, 75
Should be getting #70 in a couple of weeks.
-
Wow, thanks for all the scans DM!
I'm going to hold off adding the Capt. Marvel Story Book #1. We've already got a copy on the site from BrainDead. Unless that's your scans he uploaded and you've improved on them then of course I'll add it. I wont delete it from the FTP until I hear from you one way or the other.
Boy 76 is missing the third page of the second CB story DM. The fourth page is duplicated on pg15 and 16 of your scans. I wont add it until I hear if you happen to have the missing page.
The rest should be up soon, thanks again,
-Yoc
-
The older Captain Marvel Story Book is mine, and the new one is improved. As for the other comic, I'll see what I can do. Thanks.
-
Just posted a corrected version of BOY #76. Thanks for catching it.
-
Happy to help DM.
And your latest scans are now all up.
:)
-
Thanks a bunch, Yoc. ;) And now, probably my last Lev Gleason...SQUEEKS #4, a funny-animal book starring Crimebuster's monkey. All fiche. Enjoy.
-
Thanks DM, it's now up.
:)
-
The very latest: THRILLING COMICS #10, another hybrid scan. One more Nedor out of my Partials folder. Thanks.
-
Thanks DM, it's now up.
:D
-
And now THRILLING COMICS #12, another hybrid, another one out of my Partials folder. Enjoy.
-
Thanks DM, looks complete to me.
It's going up now.
:)
-
The latest is THRILLING COMICS #19, another in the list of hybrid scans. Featuring the origin of the American Crusader, plus Doc Strange and the Ghost. And to Yoc: Partial refers to a scan that's partially taken from somebody else's paper scan, with fiche scans completing it. Thanks.
-
Also uploaded two improved fiche scans from CAPTAIN MARVEL ADVENTURES. Have at 'em.
-
Thanks DM, I'll get them all up tomorrow.
I've been using the (fiche+paper) in the postings as the books are for the majority fiche scans. If it were more paper than fiche I'd use the reverse.
But for the sake of clarity how about if you are uploading a book that is missing pages just add 'incomplete' or some such term to the name and 'partial' for a hybrid book. If that makes sense.
Anyways I follow your meaning in this case.
-Yoc
-
Yoc: (fiche + paper) sounds great to me for the listings. I'll go with your nomenclature for the "partial" and "incomplete". In that vein, I've uploaded an incomplete (2 stories) offering from FRANKENSTEIN #5. Thanks for your help.
-
Np DM, everything is now up.
:)
-
Finally, the first famous FEATURE fiche...FEATURE COMICS #59! Find it!
-
The latest for this evening is BOY COMICS #70, an all-paper scan. You read that right. It's all yours.
-
And now, FEATURE COMICS #65. All fiche. And we're not fiching for compliments.
-
Yep, That'll work!
Congratulations!
Darkmark receives the 'That's Pretty Punny Award'.
Saaalute! :P
And now, FEATURE COMICS #65. All fiche. And we're not fiching for compliments.
-
Feature is now up.
:)
-
thanks, Yoc. The latest two offerings are, first, an improved CAPTAIN MARVEL ADVENTURES #20 on fiche; second, 4 MOST v8 #2, a Novelty (Curtis) comic scanned from paper with my brand-spankin'-new Canon machine, with a great L. B. Cole cover and some pretty neat interiors, too. Sorry the scan's so big, but we'll get things arranged somehow. Hope you enjoy them.
-
And the latest is FEATURE COMICS #66, an all-fiche scan. Sounds like something from the All-Fiche Squadron, but never fear, Doll Man and his cronies are in fine shape in this one. Enjoy.
-
Thanks DM, the scans look very nice.
All of them are now up.
:)
-
Glad you liked 'em, Yoc. :D Aaaand the very latest...WINGS COMICS #121, also from paper. I think one of the stories just MIGHT be by Alex Toth, and even if it isn't, it's neatly drawn. Plus, even if you don't like war comics, you can enjoy the cheesecake model on the inside back cover. All yours.
-
Very cool!
Thanks for the surprise Fiction House DM!
:)
Can't say I see Toth in the book but the cheese cake was tasty.
-
I borrowed that from Larry, my friend nonpareil and local comic book dealer. He is greatly to be praised.
-
I'm hoping nobody objects, but I'm uploading an edited version of Hoover's fine CMA #20 paper scan to the FTP. The edits are: I added the front and inside front cover from my scan, and I did a panorama of pages 4 and 5, which are meant to be panoramic. That okay? Thanks, Hoover.
-
Sounds fine DM, thanks!!
:)
-
Didn't know you didn't have Spy Smasher #10 until you said so. Just uploaded it to the FTP. Hope you enjoy it.
-
Check the CGD for ALL the Wings Comics credits, DarkMark,
All issues of Wings has been updated with the best input from Henry Steele, Hames Ware and me, so you should get a pretty accurate picture of the artist involved (which I would guess to be Bill Discount, who - supposedly - signed his story, so perhaps you're attuned to another story in that issue).
-
Thanks for the last Spy Smasher DM!
:)
-
You're welcome, Yoc! And now for your reading pleasure...FEATURE COMICS #67, featuring Doll Man and all those other guys in the back. I think the fiche scan came out okay this time, but let me know what you think. Scanning marches on!
-
And while we're at it, I just uploaded an improved fiche scan of CAPTAIN MARVEL ADVENTURES #21. Get it before somebody does the paper version!
-
:D
Thanks DM, both are now up.
-
Just to show that we don't rest on our laurels around here, I've uploaded FEATURE COMICS #73 and an improved CAPTAIN MARVEL ADVENTURES #22. Latter has the first chapter of the Monster Society of Evil serial in it. Both are fiche. Enjoy.
-
Very nice, thanks DM!
:)
-
FEATURE COMICS #75 (1944, fiche) is the next upload, and it should be on the FTP by the time this note reaches you. More Doll Man. Enjoy.
-
Thanks DM, it's now up!
-
Thank you, Yoc! Here's another one for your attention: FEATURE COMICS #76, all fiche, all fun. All yours.
-
Thanks DM, going up now!
-
FEATURE COMICS #78 is on the FTP, all fiche. Get it while it's hot!
-
The latest is FEATURE COMICS #87 (1945), all fiche and all yours. The Doll Man lives!
-
Right on, thanks DM! :)
-
Darkmark-Saw a collection of goldenage books for sale on ebay, Boy illustory and the lke with a darkmark in the seller's name. Might that have been you clearing out already scanned inventory?
The latest is FEATURE COMICS #87 (1945), all fiche and all yours. The Doll Man lives!
-
Nope, that's not me. I'm not the only DarkMark on the net, but I'm the only one I know who scans GA books and writes comics fanfic. Thanks, though.
-
We also have an improved version of CAPTAIN MARVEL ADVENTURES #24 on the FTP. Thanks.
-
FEATURE COMICS #91 is now on the FTP, made from fiche, all fiche, and 100% fiche. Doll Man vs. the Undertaker. 'Nuff said.
-
Thanks DM, both are up.
-
Thanks, Yoc, and now it's FEATURE COMICS #92 plus an incomplete GHOST RIDER #10 culled from Pappy's blog. Enjoy.
-
Both are now up, thanks DM!
I see you missed a story in the Ghost Rider book DM. So I've added it and the new version is now up on the site. Pappy still has one story in reserve (The Devil Tiger) that I hope he shares.
-Yoc
-
And now, FEATURE COMICS #93! Nine more issues to go in this series. All fiche, all yours.
-
FEATURE COMICS #94, all fiche, all fine, all yours. Doll Man and a whole buncha also-rans. Go grab it!
-
Thanks DM, now up!
-
Thanks for adding Speed Comics #40, DM! Always happy to see more Shock Gibson on the site!
-
Yvw, Kranky! Not my scans, but who cares?
-
Now on the FTP: CRASH COMICS ADVENTURES #4, which is a pretty neat little Holyoke title. Features Strongman, the origin of Cat-Man, Jack Kirby's Solar Legion, and the Blue Streak. All fiche, all fun, all yours.
-
Thanks DM! That's a series I'd love to one day see paper scans being done from.
:)
-
Yvw, Yoc. And now, FEATURE COMICS #96. Fiche, as usual, but you'll love it nonetheless. Thanks.
-
Also, hope Freddyfly doesn't mind, but I uploaded a hybrid of his paper scans and my fiche scans to make a c2c CAPTAIN MARVEL, JR. #68, since he did a fine job.
-
Good thinking DM! Going up shortly.
:)
-
The latest add-on is CAT-MAN COMICS #1. Hope you enjoy it.
-
There seems to be a delay between when things are posted in the ftp and when others can see them. Had that problem yesterday with darwin's cover and now Cat-Man is not there yet. Not sure how long it takes?
-
Here we go with FEATURE COMICS #97 from 1946. Fiche, featuring Doll Man, Blimpy, Perky, Spin Shaw, Rusty Ryan, and probably a few others I forgot. Enjoy.
-
Feature 97 is now approved, Darkmark. Thanks!
-
Thanks, Eric. And now for your fiching pleasure...CAT-MAN COMICS #2, from 1941. All fiche, all fun. Litter box optional.
-
Thanks! :D
B.
-
Yvw. More to come!
-
Thanks for posting these early Cat-Man issues, DM. Interesting to see him in his early solo days before "Kitten" showed up as his sidekick.
-
Yvw, Kranky. I've got about 13 more issues so we'll be seeing Kitten later on.
-
Just modified our BIG THREE #1 with a few new pages to make it c2c. Hope nobody minds.
-
Yvw, Kranky. I've got about 13 more issues so we'll be seeing Kitten later on.
Awesome. Looking forward to them. ;D
-
The latest is FEATURE COMICS #101, 60 fiche-filled pages, with Doll Man, Rusty Ryan, Perky, Blimpy, and all the rest. Enjoy. It's a Quality scan.
-
Thanks DM, expect it up very shortly!
-
And now it's FEATURE COMICS #104, featuring Doll Man and all the usual suspects. All fiche, all yours. Have at it, Yoc.
-
Now up! Thanks DM.
:)
-
Sorry to overwork you, Yoc, but this time it's FEATURE COMICS #116. Doll Man and everybody else (though I kinda like Swing Sisson and Perky). All fiche and all fine.
-
NP DM! ;)
-
FEATURE COMICS #118 is the latest. All fiche, as usual, and pretty good. This is the penultimate of my Feature fiche, so treat it right!
-
And now the last FEATURE COMICS scan...#135, from fiche, featuring Doll Man, Swing Sisson, Rusty Ryan, and Officer Shenanigan! 36 pages and all yours. Thanks.
-
Now up, thanks DM.
:)
-
Just uploaded CAT-MAN COMICS #4, all fiche, all Holyoke, all fun. Cat-Man, the Deacon, Blaze Baylor, and some other folks. Enjoy.
-
Now available for all. thanks Dark
-
Yay, more Catman! Thanks DM! :)
-
Yvw, guys. More to come!
-
Next one up is CAT-MAN COMICS #5, from fiche, featuring the origin of Kitten, plus appearances from the Deacon, the Hood, and a bunch of others. All yours.
-
Thanks DM, now up!
-
And now for something completely different...AIRBOY COMICS v9 07, from PAPER. Airboy, the Heap, and...a few other little stories. Enjoy. Happy landings!
-
Thanks DM, it's now up!
-
Thanks, Yoc! And now, CAT-MAN COMICS #7, another fiche scan, on the FTP, featuring Catman and Kitten, the Deacon, the Hood, and others. 68 pages from 1942. Enjoy.
-
Now up!
-
Thanks again! The latest is a completion of Bchat's THRILLING COMICS #5, with fiche adds by me and the original paper scans from him. Enjoy.
-
Him being bchat gang.
Thanks for the finish DM!
:D
-
Thanks, Yoc! And now, CAT-MAN COMICS #7, another fiche scan, on the FTP, featuring Catman and Kitten, the Deacon, the Hood, and others. 68 pages from 1942. Enjoy.
Thanks DM! Always appreciated. :)
-
The latest is a completion of Bchat's THRILLING COMICS #5, with fiche adds by me and the original paper scans from him. Enjoy.
How come the completed scans show-up with only me as the "author"? Where's Darkmark's credit?
-
Hi bchat,
Well, I figured as you were the original scanner of the paper and supply the bulk of the book you deserved the credit. Others have felt this way. The Author credit has caused us confusion and tension over time. I wish it said 'Uploader' instead of Author. For now original scanners will get the author credits when someone else has completed the book to c2c. I DID make sure DM got mentioned in the description area.
-Yoc
-
And now, on our very own FTP...HIT COMICS #4! With the Red Bee, Hercules, and probably some other folks you're not too familiar with. All Quality, all fiche, all yours. Enjoy.
-
Also in the same place: DOLL MAN #17 (1948), the real one, not the IW-Super reprint. All fiche, all fine, all yours. Another one bites the dust.
-
Going up now, thanks DM!
-
And now, on our very own FTP...HIT COMICS #4! With the Red Bee, Hercules, and probably some other folks you're not too familiar with. All Quality, all fiche, all yours. Enjoy.
May your name be a blessing DM!
B. ;D
-
Thanks, Boox! I'm now uploading a batch of FEATURE FUNNIES / COMICS to the server, all fiche, but refurbished (i.e., made brighter and smaller). Hope you enjoy them.
-
Glad you're starting on putting up more early Quality Comics. I've been waiting for more early issues of Hit Comics, Crack Comics, and National Comics for quite a while.
-
Also on the FTP for today is SKY BLAZERS #2, the poor man's WINGS COMICS, from Hawley (which is apparently an imprint of Dell). All fiche, all yours.
-

Why do you say Hawley is apparently an imprint of Dell? I've never heard anything like that. I don't think the ad on the back cover necessarily means this. I've seen ads for Prize Comics in DC comics -- though admittedly not the back cover.
Also your pages 14 and 15 are the same so I assume some page is missing.

Actually Prize Comics' distributor - Independent News - was also DC/All-American's distributor as well. Which easily explains the ads for Prize Comics in some early DC books.
-
Wow, that's a big haul DM!
Thanks for the uploads - I'll add them to the site now!
:)
-
Thanks, Yoc! And while you're at it, take note that I've uploaded a corrected version of Sky Blazers #2, for which thank Jon for pointing out my error.
-
Yep, I've already added it DM.
Just call me eagle-eye. ;)

I for one wouldn't be at all surprised if Dell didn't at least package Sky Blazers for Hawley. After all, there's R.S. Calendar credits in the indicia and a slew of Dell regulars on the art: Al McWilliams, Jim Chambers, etc. It certainly has the "feel" of a Dell book. And for the record, Sky Blazers #1 appeared only two months after Wings #1 and was probably in the works before Wings hit the stands, so I'd say that the "poor man's Wings" appellation only has merit if we're talking about current fan appreciation levels.
-
Today's upload: CAT-MAN COMICS #8. Cat-Man, Kitten, the Deacon, Volton, the Hood, Little Leaders, all fiche and all for you. Enjoy.
-
Thanks DM, it's going up now.
:)
-
Here's the latest fiche: BLACK TERROR #8! On the FTP. Enjoy.
-
Thanks DM, going up shortly.
:)
-
Many thanks, DM! ;D
-
Yvw, gang. The latest is BLACK TERROR #15, the last of my Black Terror scans. All fiche, all yours.
-
Black Terror 15 now on site to enjoy
-
Thanks. I'm now uploading a few nms CRACK COMICS that we don't have to the FTP. If they're for some reason unusable, feel free not to put them onsite. Your call.
-
Onsite and ready to go thanks Darkmark
-
Crack comics removed with the GM watermark. Sorry
-
Perfectly okay. And now, without any watermarks, comes HIT COMICS #5, all fiche, all yours. The Red Bee, Hercules, and Neon the Unknown. But I like Betty Bates, Lady at Law better than any of them. Killer Lou Fine cover. Enjoy.
-
I'm definately looking into those issues of Crack and Hit. I've been waiting for those two titles (and National) for a long while.
-
The latest: CAT-MAN COMICS #10, featuring the titular hero, Kitten, the Deacon, Little Leaders (pretty good art here), the Hood, Volton, and maybe somebody else. All fiche, all yours. Enjoy. Meow.
-
Thanks DM. I've added these and those other books to the site.
:)
-
Thanks for getting these up, guys.
There's one problem with the Cat-Man #10 scans, though. The second and third pages of the Cat-Man story are identical. (These are scans
04.jpg and 05.jpg in the .cbr file.) As such it looks like we go from page 2 to page 4. It looks like the third page scan was overlooked somehow, because the 2 pages appear to be the exact same scan.
-
Thanks dhfh,
I can confirm the problem DM. Any chance of a fix?
-Yoc
-
As you know, it's been fixed. Uh, that doesn't mean Cat-Man's been fixed...I mean...well, you know what I mean.
-
"D'Oh!"
:)
Thanks DM, I put it up last night after my last message here.
-Yoc
-
I upped a c2c version of AIR FIGHTERS COMICS v2 #7, with the missing pages filled by fiche. (Shudder!) Hope you enjoy it.
-
Now up.
-
Now, a double feature: first, CAPTAIN VIDEO #2, from paper, scans by Geo and edits by Yours Truly. Second, HIT COMICS #6, a fiche scan, by me entirely. Enjoy.
-
Thanks Dark and Geo these are now onsite
-
And now for something entirely different...CRACKAJACK FUNNIES #33, a fiche scan, featuring the Owl and a whole buncha fine strip reprints and originals. All yours, on the FTP, so go get it. ;-)
-
Thanks Narstar for putting it up and thanks goes out to Darkmark for doing the editing on it. I've been so busy finishing up on JVJ scans I didn't get a chance to get back to DM on it before now.
Geo
-
Crackajack no up. What a name definetly a product of the times
-
Another one done: CAT-MAN COMICS #11, featuring ol' Whisker-Face himself, Kitten, the Deacon, the Hood, and, believe it or not, a character called...Leatherface. No, not THAT Leatherface! Go get it. And for Geo...my pleasure, and let's see the next one real soon.
-
Thanks DM, now up.
And thanks also for helping Geo!
-
Thanks again for the uploads, DM. Always appreciated. ;D
-
Yvw, Kranky. And NOW I'm going to bed!
-
The latest: RED MASK #49, from 1955, on the FTP. All fiche, featuring the aforementioned Mr. Mask, the curvaceous Black Phantom, and the original, accept-no-substitutes GHOST RIDER!! Go get it, yuh rannies!
-
Now ready thanks Dark
-
Thanks, Narf. Now up: RED MASK #54. Go grab it. Fiche.
-
Now up #54 thanks darkmark
-
Here's the latest: HIT COMICS #7, with the Red Bee, Hercules, Neon, Betty Bates, and a few other also-rans. All fiche, all fun, all yours.
-
And even later: CAT-MAN COMICS #12, with Cat-Man, Kitten, the Deacon, the Hood, and others, plus a great LB Cole cover. All fiche, all yours. On the FTP.
-
Thanks DM, both are now up.
:)
-
Another one should be up by the time you read this: AMAZING MAN COMICS #13, from 1940, with A-Man, Minimidget, the Shark, and a few other worthies. All fiche. On the FTP. Grab it.
-
Thanks DM!
-
Love Amazing Man thanks now up
-
Thanks for the Centaur DM, not enough of them get scanned.
:)
-
Another one done: CAT-MAN COMICS #11, featuring ol' Whisker-Face himself, Kitten, the Deacon, the Hood, and, believe it or not, a character called...Leatherface. No, not THAT Leatherface! Go get it. And for Geo...my pleasure, and let's see the next one real soon.
Hey guys, I just noticed that this looks like it should actually be logical #26 (meaning Vol.3 #1, September, 1945--as listed in Keltner), as the cover and contents match 3/1 instead of #11.
And even later: CAT-MAN COMICS #12, with Cat-Man, Kitten, the Deacon, the Hood, and others, plus a great LB Cole cover. All fiche, all yours. On the FTP.
And this looks to be logical #27 (Vol. 3 #2, November '45).
Check it out! They're still CAT-MAN issues, so they're still GREAT, but I think they need to be renamed.
Cheers!
Dhfh
-
You're right, I did have the Cat-Man #26a misnumbered. Give yourself a gold star!
Now that's done, the latest upload is HIT COMICS #8. With a Neon the Unknown cover and apps by the Red Bee, Hercules, Betty Bates, and all the rest. Done from Quality fiche. Really. All yours.
-
Thanks again DM, going up shortly.
:)
-
BTW, both the Cat-Mans are misnumbered...11 should be 26, and 12 should be 26a. Can you renumber them, Yoc?
-
I renamed them on the listings but the actual files when downloaded will still have the wrong names. I can't change file names on the server. The only way to fix it is to have you re-upload them if you wanted. I've left a note on them to rename them once people have downloaded them.
-Yoc
-
You're right, I did have the Cat-Man #26a misnumbered. Give yourself a gold star!
Thanks! I try my best to help out when I can. Usually though, one of you folks have already found any mistakes before I get to check over my downloads. And you all don't make very many of them anyway.
(Gee, how's a guy ever going to amass a lot of gold stars if nobody's gonna make a lot of mistakes :D )
-
It appears that the first three issues of Blackstone were not published by Street and Smith but by Vital. These should PD. Darkmark has issue three scanned. There appears to be no real ties between Vital and S&s
-
I re-upped the two issues of Cat-Man Comics with the correct numbering. You can substitute them for the misnumbered copies, Yoc.
-
And now, just to round things out...CAT-MAN #14, with what we are reasonably sure is the correct numbering. Cat-Man, Kitten, Deacon, Hood, and the immortal "Rip Van Winkle Tried to Kill Me!" All fiche, all yours. Enjoy.
-
Thanks DM, all of them are now up.
:)
-

Ah, not only another Cat-Man story, but also--at long last--the origin of the Hood's famous foe, the Vulture's Claw! And a nice legible fiche scan, too.
I must say I was surprised that Rip story was a TRUE story. I wasn't aware that Washingtion Irving was able to invent real people. ;)
Say DM, how come you didn't mention the other true story here: "Wolves Nearly Got Me!" Wasn't it immortal too? Or am I missing something? ;D
-
I didn't figure a story about the dog family would go well blurbed with a Cat-Man issue. Anyway, the latest is HIT COMICS #9. Featuring the Red Bee, Hercules, and Neon, none of whom made it to the end of the run, and Betty Bates and Bob and Swab, who did. Figure that one. All fiche, all yours. Thanks.
-
Now up!
:)
-
Thanks, Yoc. And now the latest: CAT-MAN COMICS #21, from 1943, the penultimate issue I have to offer on the title. Featuring Cat-Man, Kitten, the Deacon, Mickey, the Ragman, the Hood, and a couple of other things. All fiche, all yours.
-
Thanks DM, it'll be up shortly.
-
And not to overwork you, Yoc, but here's another hybrid scan: THRILLING COMICS #21, featuring paper scans of American Eagle and Doc Strange, and fiche scans of all the rest. Enjoy.
-
Hi DM,
I find I've got slightly larger versions of the paper scans you have with the addition of Woman in Red and The Ghost also in paper. I've merged mine with your fiche fills and will upload.
Thanks for doing this!
-Yoc
-
Thanks, Yoc! And now the latest: CAT-MAN COMICS #23, which retires the side for me on this title. Hope you've enjoyed it. More to come!
-
Good to go thanks dark
-
The latest is CAPTAIN VIDEO #5, scans by Geo, edits by me. Let me know if it's okay, Geo, and if it's not, I'll try and work it over again. Thanks.
-
Last one tonight: HIT COMICS #10, all fiche, all yours. With Hercules, Red Bee, Neon and the unforgettable Betty Bates. Have fun.
-
The latest is CAPTAIN VIDEO #5, scans by Geo, edits by me. Let me know if it's okay, Geo, and if it's not, I'll try and work it over again. Thanks.
Sent a PM about it.
Geo
-
As it turns out, neither one of us were happy about the CV #5 scans so I've taken them down pending further instructions. Sorry about that.
-
Your Hit is now up. Thanks DM.
:)

Don't worry about it darkmark, weird stuff happens, (it's happened to me a few times and I didn't know why it did either). By the way your fiche scans you do are something I'd probably never be able to do, but excellent work from you on them though.
Geo
-
Thanks, Geo. The latest upload: AMAZING MAN COMICS #14, from 1940. Another fiche scan, with Amazing-Man, Mighty Man, the Shark, Dr. Hypno, and a few others. Enjoy.
-
Thanks for another great Amazing-Man!
-comicsnorth
-
Thanks Dark now up only 3 more to go and we will have completed Amazing Man. Pretty impressive for such an expensive hard to find comic
-
Thanks for the scan! It looks like the last page of the Mighty Man story is missing and there are two copies of page 5...
Peter
-
Nuts. I'll have to correct that. Thanks, Peter.
-
The latest: HIT COMICS #11. With Hercules, Red Bee, Neon, Betty Bates...you know the drill. All fiche, all yours. Thanks.
-
Thank DM. Hit 11 is now up and looks c2c to me.
I've renamed the Amazing Man 14 as incomplete.
I hope the missing page can be added at some point.
Take care,
-Yoc
-
I'll correct AMAZING-MAN #14 ASAP. In the meantime, tide yourself over with AMAZING-MAN COMICS #18, which will bookend Michael Barnes's offering and leave us with one A-Man to scan. And I have it! (It's fiche, just like this one.) And that is IT for this evening. Enjoy.
EDIT: AMAZING-MAN #14 is corrected and on the FTP. Enjoy.
-
Wonderful days for a Centaur fan!
Thanks DM, 18 is now up.
:)
-
Corrected AM14 now up as well, thanks DM!
-
Dang, you're fast! ;D
-
Thanks Dark now up only 3 more to go and we will have completed Amazing Man. Pretty impressive for such an expensive hard to find comic

It certainly is exciting to be getting this close to a complete run of AM, but let's not forget that 5 of the issues we've got up right now are still listed as only partial books (9, 11, 17, 21, & 26). Not trying to throw a bucket of cold water, guys--just a reminder that we must not grow complacent. The search must go on! We CAN reach a point when we shall have a complete run! And we will!
(JVJ is supposed to have copies of #9 and #17.... Anyone out there have some copy of the others? For my part, I'm still really waiting to see all the Shark's exploits!)
Victory is at hand!
DHFH
-
Let me check my fiche stash and see what I have. In the meantime, I've got another ish to work on! Thanks. Aren't we amazing, man?
-
OK, just uploaded a c2c version of AMAZING-MAN COMICS #9, with fiche fills. On the FTP. Reach down and get it!

Way to go, DM! Let's hear it for the man, everyone! (And a personal thank you from me for The Shark story. I hated it being among the missing of #9!)
Only three other issues to fll, if I'm not mistaken, and we will have a copy of some kind for every issue of the series!
Reason enough to rejoice...

-
Love those Amazing Man comics thanks DM now up
-
Thanks, Narf. And joining it is AMAZING-MAN COMICS #17, with fiche fills. We're missing 2 pages of the Amazing-Man story, but it's otherwise complete. Enjoy.
-
Here's the last of my A-Man run: AMAZING-MAN COMICS #20, all fiche, all yours. Someone else will have to fill out our two other incompletes. Thanks.
-
Well Darkmark you sure lighten this place up with those dazzling AM comics. Who would have thunk we could be so close to getting them all. In the bargain we get Mighty Man, MiniMidget, The Shark and Iron Skull. It don't get much better than that. Thanks for 17 and 20 now up.
-
Yvw, Narf. Now the only ones we need for completes are #21 and 26, of which we have partials. Maybe somebody else will have 'em. Take care.
-
Many thanks for scanning these DM!
:)
-
Yvw, Yoc.
-
Just to make sure we stay well Centaured (sorry!), here's FUNNY PAGES #9, from 1937. Nothing longer than 2 pages, but for masked hero fans, the only noteworthy thing will be the presence of The Clock. Anyway, I kinda like it, as an example of what comics were before the Superman boom. Enjoy.
-
We gladly accept platinum as well as gold just keep that puny silver out of here. Thank you sir
-
The latest, as I attempt to keep up with the flood of quality Golden Age stuff flowing in, is another Quality scan: HIT COMICS #13, all fiche as usual. The culprits: Hercules, Red Bee, Neon, Betty Bates, and a few others. Stormy Foster and Kid Eternity are still a ways ahead. We'll get to them. Be patient.
-
Thanks DM, now up!
-
They're not my scans, but I have uploaded a bit more complete (though still incomplete) version of AMAZING-MAN COMICS #21 to the FTP. This one features a bit better scan of the Amazing-Man story plus the Mighty Man story, in addition to the ones we already have. Both of 'em were taken from an online Golden Age site. So much for that.
-
Thanks again DM. Going up now...
-
Thanks DM! ;D
Any more books with costumed superheroes from the 40's?
-
You bet! Just watch me!
-
Now on the FTP: STARTLING COMICS #1, from 1940, featuring the origin of Captain Future (not the sf hero) and a bunch of also-rans. Cap is from paper and nms, the rest is fiche. Enjoy.
-
Thanks DM, going up shortly.
:)
-
And the latest Centaur offering: FUNNY PAGES #10, with 2 pages of "The Sapphire Eye of Sekhmet" by Will Eisner and a couple of pages of the Clock. Other stuff in there too. Enjoy. It's fiche.
-

-
Let's make it a triple feature with HIT COMICS #19. All fiche, featuring Stormy Foster, the Ghost of Flanders, Herc, the Red Bee, and Betty Bates. Enjoy.

Wow, thanks for the uploads, DM! Especially "excited" to read the Black Terror story from EC #13! ;)

-
thanks DM, now up!
-
Now already up, since I used the upload link: HIT COMICS #21. Stormy Foster, Red Bee, Betty Bates, the swan song of Hercules, and more also-rans. All fiche, all yours. Enjoy.
-
Hey, thanks for using the download link DM! :)
It makes life for us mods a bit easier in the long run and we appreciate that.
I've tweaked the 'download name' (the name as it appears on the site, NOT the actual file name) to Hit Comics 020 (Fiche) to match the other file names.
Thanks again,
-Yoc
-
Uploading completed versions of Cat-Man Comics #26a and Blue Beetle #44 to the FTP. Enjoy.
-
More complete versions of Fantastic Comics #1 and 6 have been added to the FTP. And from the site link, we've uploaded AMERICA'S BEST COMICS #3, with Pyroman, Black Terror, Doc Strange, Captain Future, and the Liberator. All fiche, all yours. Enjoy.
-
All Darkmark's goodies and upgrades are ready.
-
Thanks guys!
I hope Freddy will try uploading the proper file for Cat-Man #26 again.
-Yoc
-
Now on the FTP: HIT COMICS #22, with Stormy Foster, the Red Bee, Betty Bates, and a whole buncha people walking around without costumes at all. Shame. All fiche, all yours. Enjoy.
-
:o :o
You mean they are Naked?? OMG!
;)
Going up shortly for all you nudest fans....
-Yoc

The ORIGIN of KID ETERNITY!

-
Much appreciated thanks now up
-
Now uploaded via site link: HIT COMICS #27, featuring Kid Eternity vs. Dr. Payn, Stormy Foster, Bill the Magnificent, et al. All fiche, all yours. Enjoy.
-
Pg 4 is missing from this one DM, any chance of a fix?
-
We have fixed it.
-
Thanks DM, but I don't see Hit27 -corrected waiting anywhere.
It's not waiting on the site for approval nor in the FTP. Did I miss something?
Also - I see our copy of Hit 24 is missing (pages 32-52). Would you have those as fiche to add?
Take care,
-YOc
-
My bad...it was Hit Comics #26! I have #24 and I'll see about the adds this weekend. Thanks.
-
Now uploaded via site link: HIT COMICS #24, c2c, with Kusunoki's paper scans and my fiche fills. Go grab it, Yoc, so everyone else can. ;-)
-
Now up, thanks DM.
:)
-
Okay, NOW we have HIT COMICS #27 via site link, and it has the first appearance of Kid Eternity's favorite archfoes Silk and Her Highness, as well as Stormy Foster, Betty Bates, Bob and Swab, and all the rest. Go get it as soon as Yoc uploads it.
-
Now up along with BobR's Tick Tock Tales 22
-
The latest is AMERICA'S BEST COMICS #5, featuring Doc Strange, the Black Terror, Pyroman, Captain Future, the Liberator, and probably somebody else I've forgotten. All fiche, all yours. I think you're gonna love it. On the site link.
-
Hi DM,
I just checked ABC #5 and pg44 didn't upload correctly.
Sadly we could use another upload.
Thanks,
-Yoc
-
You've got it. Turned out the first version had a defective page, since rescanned and replaced.
-
And it's now up.
Thanks DM
:)
-
One more in hopes that you're still up, Yoc...HIT COMICS #29. With a guest appearance by Sherlock Holmes in Kid Eternity, Her Highness and Silk, Stormy Foster, Betty Bates, Bill the Magnificent, and several other also-rans. On the site link. All fiche, all yours. Yowza.
-
What, I'm not good enough for you, dark? ;D
Now approved for download.
-
Thanks Eric, I do need to sleep at some point!
;)
-
Thanks for the Green Hornet #23 issue, DM! More Spirit of '76 is always appreciated! :)
-
That one came from Freddyfly, hombre. Give your thanks to him. ;)
-
Oops. My mistake.
-
New upload: HIT COMICS #30, from fiche, on the site link. Kid Eternity meets Julius Caesar. Enjoy.
-
Thanks Dark your uploads are a big Hit as usual.
-
I'm really enjoying all the Hits as well. Hopefully there will be some issues of National and Crack after all the issues of Hit.
-
The latest, on the FTP: HIT COMICS #33, with Kid Eternity, Stormy Foster, Betty Bates, and Bill the Magnificent. All fiche, all yours, all okay.
-
Next: AMERICA'S BEST COMICS #6, via site link. Black Terror, Doc Strange, Pyroman, Americans Eagle and Crusader. Have at it. It's fiche, as if you had to guess.
-
Your one of America's Best Darkmark and #6 is now available thanks
-
Thanks DM but pgs 10+12 of AMERICA'S BEST COMICS #6 are duplicates.
Can we get the missing page?
Take care,
-Yoc
-
I'll correct it directly. In the meantime, feast your eyes on HIT COMICS #34, all fiche, all yours, featuring Kid Eternity, Stormy Foster, Bill the Magnificent, and Betty Bates. Spa fon.
-
Thanks DM.
I hate to say it... but pgs14+15 are the same in HUT 034 as well.
I'll hold off adding it for now.
:)
-
Maybe I ought to get somebody else to do my fiche...anyway, the corrected version of AMERICA'S BEST #6 is on the FTP.
-
And the corrected HIT #34 is now on the site link, too. Fwah.
-
Thanks DM. Going up now.
WOW, that a BUSY NIGHT on the site.
And an amazing weekend - my thanks to all the uploaders.
:)
-
Thank *you*, Yoc. Now to make it a twofer: AMERICA'S BEST COMICS #7, on the site link, featuring Pyroman, Black Terror, Doc Strange, the American Eagle, and THUNDERHOOF! Much good horse art. All fiche, all yours. Enjoy. (This time I hope I don't have to do a correction.)
-
And the last one before I go to bed: THRILLING COMICS #30, c2c, Freddyfly's paper scans combined with my fiche fills. Make sure Freddy gets top billing. That's it. I am outta here.
-
Thanks for both DM. They look fine to me.
It's a shame FF doesn't send you a list of his non-C2C books first but hey, we're happy to get these old books anyway we can.
Take care,
-Yoc
-
Yup, and I want Freddyfly to start a topic on the board with his uploads listed! Hey! Freddy! You listening?
-
I created flying in from Freddy for him
-
Thank *you*, Yoc. Now to make it a twofer: AMERICA'S BEST COMICS #7, on the site link, featuring Pyroman, Black Terror, Doc Strange, the American Eagle, and THUNDERHOOF! Much good horse art. All fiche, all yours. Enjoy. (This time I hope I don't have to do a correction.)
Hey DM, is it possible that amidst all these great Nedor titles, you've got a complete copy of Startling #34 lurking about somewhere? We've got every other story of the Scarab here on GAC except that one...his origin story.
Just wondering, 'cause it'd be great if we had the whole run right here (and you seem to have so many issues waiting to be unleashed)!
DHFH
-
Sorry, but that's one I don't got.
-
One more for the road: HIT COMICS #36 from 1945, on the FTP, featuring Kid Eternity, Betty Bates, a lot of funny stuff, and one nude scene. (Hint: It isn't in Betty Bates.) All fiche, all yours. Enjoy.
-
Thanks DM
:)
-
As always, thank you DM. :)
-
Yvw, Yoc and Kranky. And now, it's nms, but I found another story from FRANKENSTEIN #3 scanned and posted on a blog and added it to the one story we have already from that ish, and put it on the FTP. It's all yours, Yoc.
-
Cool!
Thanks very much DM - I'm updating the site now.
Always fun to read new Franky!
:D
-
I've put together a complete version of FANTASTIC COMICS #1 from all the existing scans and am uploading it to the FTP right now.
-
Thanks DM. And lots of Airboy hybrid work available to you if you wanted as well.
:)
-
I'll start work on them ASAP.
-
It's taking a little while because my server's pretty slow tonight. But eventually we're going to have two c2c copies of the new AIRBOY COMICS from Freddyfly w/ fiche fills by me, v3 #12 and v4 #1, one of them by site link and the other on the FTP. I'll get to the rest ASAP. Enjoy.
ETA: I'm putting up v4 #2 on the FTP, which has 2 pgs. missing from the Model Builders story. All yours. Enjoy.
-
Thanks DM. And thanks for using the site link too. That saves us mods some time on our end and gets them on the site that much faster.
AB v4 #1 is now up.
:)
-
Yvw, Yoc. AIRBOY COMICS v3 #9 is now up on the site link.
-
Ready to enjoy thanks DM
-
I done uploaded AIRBOY COMICS v3 #11 and v5 #3 on the sitelink. Freddyfly's paper (fly paper?), my fiche fills. I am having dreams about Airboy and Valkyrie. No lie.
-
Another doggoned Airboy uppost. This time it's v5 #8 and v6 #3, both uploaded via site-link. Thanks to Freddyfly, who has given me a whole BUNCH of work! But I always loved Airboy and Valkyrie.
-
Much thanks to both of you these are now available.
-
Thanks, Narf. Also uploaded to the FTP a big batch of Freddyfly's Airboy scans that don't involve my fiche, all of them with corrected numbering and in .cbr state. Hope you like them.
-
Hi DM,
Thanks for correcting these. I'm guessing you don't have fiche for any of these to complete them right?
Take care,
-Yoc
-
Exactly. I'm also upping v6 #5, a c2c, on the sitelink. You'll know when it gets there.
-
Well, there's a big batch of Airboy c2c's on the site link and there'll be even more partials on the FTP as soon as I can get 'em all uploaded. The last one should be v9 #4. And, until and unless Freddyfly can upload some more, that is IT. Thanks, gang!
-
Thanks for all your work DM!
:)
-
Yvw, Yoc.
-
I've just uploaded AMERICA'S BEST COMICS #8 via sitelink and I'm uploading HIT COMICS #37, the last of my holdings in that title, even as we speak. And yeah, I finished up Freddyfly's MASTER COMICS scan, for which much thanks, Freddy. All yours, as soon as they're up.
-
ABC and Master are up.
Sadly Hit 37 has two duplicate pages.
pgs 28+29 are duplicated on pg30+31.
Could we get a corrected version?
Thanks,
-Yoc
-
I'm uploading a corrected Hit #37 right now. Problem was, the pages were duped on the original fiche, which threw me off. Meanwhile, I've also uploaded via sitelink fiche scans of BEST OF THE WEST #8 and BOBBY BENSON'S B-BAR-B RIDERS #15, both with the original Ghost Rider. Go get 'em, Yoc!
-
Also, I've found the last two stories from FRANKENSTEIN COMICS #3 and upped them with the other 2 for a complete-but-the-ads version of the comic and posted it via site-link. Nms, but all yours.
-
And another one: NATIONAL COMICS #12, from fiche, my penultimate Quality scan. Uncle Sam, Wonder Boy, Quicksilver and company, all yours. Enjoy.
-
The last one tonight is the last of my Quality scans: NATIONAL COMICS #38. All fiche, all yours. Enjoy. So long, Uncle Sam.
-
Thanks for all the uploads DM.
Sadly National 12 has duplicates pages on pg16+17 (14 on the page number). But the book looks Great!
BobbyBenson has Ghost Rider and looks like Frazetta work in the Red Hawk story as well. Opinions?
It's a shame the ME fiche look like they must have been more blurry than the Quality bought fiche. Your final scans for National 12 is one of your best jobs while the Best_Of_the_West and BB books sadly are very hard to ready. Having worked with Loftypilot on some fiche we quickly learned that the original fiche as bought varied wildly on focus and colour even when they all came from the same seller/maker. We tried to stayed away from Lev Gleason knowing they were among the most wordy and therefore hardest to read as fiche.
Thanks for all your hard work on these, take care,
-Yoc
-
I'll get the National fixed ASAP. Sorry about the Bobby Benson thing. I noticed how bad it was when I worked on it.
-
Thanks for all the uploads DM.
BobbyBenson has Ghost Rider and looks like Frazetta work in the Red Hawk story as well. Opinions?
Thanks for all your hard work on these, take care,
-Yoc
Yoc,
I think that all the Red Hawks are by Bob Powell (and his shop) - no FF.
Peace (from Paris), Jim (|:{>
-
Ok Jim if you say so. Sure had some of those typical 'goofy faces' poses FF liked to use from time to time and I know he did ME work but you are far more an authority than I ever will be!
Nice looking work Powell or FF!
Ghost Rider is an early fav of mine so seeing new stories of his is Very Welcomed. Thanks DM!
-Yoc
-
NATIONAL #12 is on the FTP. Go get it!
-
Thanks DM, adding it now.
:)
-
The latest is AMERICA'S BEST COMICS #9 from 1944. Thanks.
-
ABC #9 now up - thanks DM!
-
Now uploading to the FTP: A remixed version of STRAIGHT ARROW #42 which is really an ish of IW / Super's GUNFIGHTERS comic. Sorry I haven't been more prolific, but I'm working on a big remix project of ME Westerns. Hope you enjoy.
-
Thanks DM, now up.
-
Uploaded a c2c of one of Freddyfly's Airboy scans and some partials from Mr. Door Tree to the FTP. Enjoy.
-
Now up!
-
Also a c2c of AIRBOY COMICS v4 #12, paper scans by Freddyfly and fiche fills by me. Anybody got the inside back and back covers? Thanks. It's on the site link.
-
I checked and AIRBOY COMICS v4 #12 isn't on Heritage DM.
:(
-
I checked and AIRBOY COMICS v4 #12 isn't on Heritage DM.
:(
I have all the Airboys from V3:4 through V10:2, guys. Start making a list somewhere of these kinds of items, and we can surely find someone to add them to their JVJ scan list when I return.
Peace, Jim (|:{>
-
Thanks Jim, I certainly hope someone does want to scan them among your scanners.
I'm not sure if FreddyFly has more to share or not. He's not very chatty here on the message board and BHComics has never posted here. BHC is the original scanner of the AirBoy scans Freddy has been posting.
-Yoc
-
The complete SILVER STREAK #12 has been upped to the FTP. Also, I gave Jim a list of our missing Airboys, so if anybody wants to request them for scanning, you'll know which to do. (Hint, hint!)
-
Also uploaded: FRANKENSTEIN COMICS #4, nms and story pages only, but it's still a lotta fun. Enjoy.
-
Thanks Dark, Briefer's Frank is always fun
-
Thanks DM, but we already had a C2C version of Frankenstein 4 on GAC.
I wonder if your version is the same minus the ads?
-
Yipe! Guess I should have checked first. Sorry.
-
The latest: BIG THREE #4 from 1940, kicking off our Fox onslaught. The titular Big Three: Blue Beetle, Samson, and the Flame. But the real treat of sorts is a Stardust story by Fletcher Hanks. All your base are belong to us. All fiche, all fun. Enjoy.
-
Stardust RULES! Wow, thanks DM!
:D
Now up along with more FreddyFly.
-Yoc
-
Yvw. The very latest, on the FTP, is AMERICA'S BEST COMICS #10 and (from Robc_1950) the first issue of ATOMIC MOUSE circa 1953. All yours. Enjoy.
-
Thanks DM
:)
-
Such great stuff thanks for Big 3 and especially Stardust
-
I just uploaded c2c versions of BIG THREE #2 and 7 and CAT-MAN COMICS #23 to the site link featuring Freddyfly's paper scans and my fiche fills. Enjoy.
And let's get those Airboys from JVJ and scan 'em! ;-)
-
Finally, I've just uploaded BIG THREE #4 to the site link. It's minus the centerfold (have a copy, Freddyfly?) but otherwise okay. All fiche, all yours. Enjoy.
-
Great work DM and FF!
:D
-
Just uploaded AMERICA'S BEST COMICS #11 to the site link, featuring the Black Terror, Doc Strange, and the American Eagle. And just a thought, Yoc...why not include a folder under Fox for BIG THREE? Thanks.
-
Thanks DM, yeah, once a title has 5 or more issues up I usually add a folder for it.
Take care,
-Yoc
-
Just uploaded a couple of IW / Super reprints to the site link: JOHNNY DANGER #1 (DANGER #11), a detective comic from Toby, and SCOOP COMICS #8 (partial), another DANGER reprinting from Harry "A" Chesler. NMS, but enjoy.
-
Thanks DM, both are now up.
:)
-
Now on the FTP: BIG THREE #5, another fiche scan, featuring Blue Beetle, Samson, and someone else to make up the Three. Plus a one-story offering from GREEN MASK #6, nms, but not fiche, either. Enjoy.
-
Thanks DM.
Big 3 is now up but we already had a C2C version of Green Mask 6 so I didn't add that one.
Take care,
-Yoc
-
And the latest: BIG THREE #6, with Blue Beetle, Samson, and Flame, which finishes up the run. All fiche, all yours. Enjoy. (It's on the FTP.)
-
And the latest is AMERICA'S BEST COMICS #17, with Doc Strange, Black Terror, Fighting Yank, Pyroman, and probably a few other fellers. All fiche, all yours, all Nedor. Enjoy.
-
And I've just uploaded four issues of MILITARY COMICS to the FTP which are corrected versions of corrupted ones (and a bit improved, too) that I tried to upload some months before. Go get 'em, Yoc.
...Yoc?
-
Come and get them along with Blue Beetle 3
-
The file for Captain Marvel Jr 66 was a crash victim without a working extension. I renamed it to work and uploaded it.
-
Thanks, Narf. No more uploads tonight, but I'm sure it'll be sufficient for today.
-
I spoke too soon. I have uploaded or am uploading corrected-order or c2c hybrids of all Freddyfly's Feature scans tonight. Put them ALL under his name, k? But I'm saving the last 2 for tomorrow, 'cause I'm going to bed. Peace, out.
-
Come and get them along with Blue Beetle 3
Thanks very much for this very welcome copy of Blue Beetle #3, DM--unfortunately I must report that there are some duplicated pages in this file. I've spotted: page 17 is the same as 19; 18 is the same as 20; and page 61 is the same as 63...hopefuly that's all of them.
Sorry to be the bearer of unhappy news...
DHFH
-
I'll upload a corrected version ASAP.
-
Thanks for the Feature upgrades DM
:D
-
Yvw, Yoc, and thanks to Freddyfly for uploading them. Also thanks for catching the errors, group, and I've uploaded a corrected BLUE BEETLE #3 to the FTP. Even caught one error more than you mentioned! Go grab it.
-
BB3 added and a paper Jumbo Comics as well, thanks DM!
:D
-
You probably already have it, but...AMERICA'S BEST COMICS #25 is on the site. Thanks, Yoc.
-
Thanks DM, yes I noticed you'd uploaded it to the FTP.
FlashFTP is a great app for telling me when someone has uploaded anything without having to check each folder.
-
Just reloaded that Jo-Jo #22 reprint with an original cover scan. But don't post it under my name!
-
Ok, will do DM
:)
-
The latest offering is AMERICA'S BEST COMICS #28, all fiche, all yours. If anybody has issues #13, 15, and 27, feel free, because that's my last of the series.
-
Thanks DM
:)
-
I uploaded a c2c of Freddy's Boy #7 and it's on the FTP.
-
The latest on the FTP is STARTLING COMICS #2, from 1940, featuring Captain Future from the past. All fiche, all yours. Enjoy.
-
Just uploaded a trimmed-down version of SPEED #31 to the FTP. Nms, but thought you ought to know.
-
Just about done uploading BLUE BEETLE #5 to the FTP. It's all fiche, all yours, and I hope somebody gets all three scans off the FTP soon! ;-)
-
Well some of us do our own scans every once in awhile Mr impatient. They are however now available thank you very much
-
Sorry about that, Narf. All apologies.
-
Just joking dark
-
Thanks DM.
Some days I can't get online but it's good to know Narf and OtherEric are here to keep the site humming!
-Yoc
-
A c2c version of MYSTERY MEN COMICS #6 is now on the FTP. Paper scans by Freddyfly, fiche fills by yours truly. Go grab it.

-
Blue Beetle is now ready for download, Startling will be there in just a few minutes. Thank you, Dark!
-
YVW, Eric. Now, in response to a request, I'm uploading a batch of AIR FIGHTERS COMICS / AIRBOY COMICS to the ftp. The last one will be v10 #5, so you'll know when it's done. It'll be awhile yet, though. They aren't all mine, but I went through my stash and spiffed up the really bad ones somewhat, so they may even be readable now. ;-) And one of them is a c2c of ae660's offering. Hope you enjoy them!
-
Thanks DM more Air-Fighters issues has got to be good news as far as I'm concerned and will be a big help to me with yet another little project that i'm cooking up.
-Nigel
-
I see a lot of things in your folder DM but Startling 2 isn't one of them.
I see a #3 - is that it with the wrong name? I can change the name if it is with no need of a re-upload.

Does appear to be Startling #3, but I do have Startling #2 and will upload it. In the meantime, start shoveling away at those Airboys!!
EDITED: Looks like I already uploaded #2, so we're okay on that.
-
Wow thanks Dark the bunch are up in Air Fighters and Airboy
-
I'm just here to say thank you darkmark for the recent Amazing Man Comics Uploads and Updates. They are fantastic!
-
Yvw, erontron (you too, Narf), even though the Amazing-Man stuff isn't too recent. ;D The very latest is BLUE BEETLE #7, with the eponymous Beetle, plus Dynamo (no, not THAT Dynamo, though the logo is kinda suspicious) and Dynamite Thor. All fiche, all yours, all from 1941, on the FTP.
-
Also added BLACKHAWK #36, scans by Foyle, via the site link. And yes, friends and neighbors, that is the LAST Quality ish of BLACKHAWK! Another one down. Enjoy.
-
Thanks for all those Air-Fighters Comics uploads DM, Should give me enough material to make a start on my next project.
One small problem though, I think that we are still short of one issue as according to Craig Ede the book we have here labled as Issue 7 Volume One is IN FACT issue seven from VOLUME TWO meaning that we now have two copies of the later issue and ZILCH of the 'genuine' Number_007-V1.
I hope that you might be in a position to help out on this.
All The Best.
-Nigel
-
Your wish is my command and i'll upload it today.
ETA: It's on the FTP. Go get it.
-
Thanks for pointing that out Nigel. :)
People, if you see problems where a book isn't named correctly please send me a PM or make a post.
Comments in the download area don't show up unless I happen to read them.
-Yoc
-
And the latest is STARTLING COMICS #8, from 1941, all Nedor goodness with Captain Future and...well...some other characters. All fiche, all yours. Enjoy. It's on the FTP.
-
Thanks for upping that missing issue of Airfighters Comics DM, while looking through issue Five of Volume Two of the same series I noticed that page 52 was missing even though its labled 'c2c'. :(
Any chance of rounding up this page ?
TIA.
-Nigel
-
I'll look into that. In the meantime, I've uploaded improved versions of MASTER #105 and SILVER STREAK #9 and 10 to the FTP.
-
Now Up!
:)
-
Thanks, Yoc. The latest is BLUE BEETLE #24, my last BB. We still need #14-22, 25, 26, 28-32, 35, 37, 39, 43, 45, 47-50, 52, 54, 55, 57, 59, 60. So much for that.
-
Thanks DM, now up gang!
-
I just uploaded the only completion of one of Freddyfly's AIRBOY COMICS I could do this time, which was v4 #3. It's on the FTP, so that's where to get it. Thanks.
-
Thanks DM, now up gang!
-
I was mistaken. I also had AIRBOY COMICS v3 #10, which I've combined with Freddyfly's scans and put on the FTP. By my guesstimation, we've got all but 6 of the original Airboy stories now. How about that?
-
I'm in the process of uploading 9 books to the FTP, one of which is a refurbished version of my AIR FIGHTERS v1 #12, all the rest being hybrids of Freddyfly's paper scans and my fiche. It'll take awhile, but the last one is MASTER COMICS #69. Enjoy when they get there.
-
Finally found time to do my own scan: STARTLING COMICS #9, from fiche, featuring Captain Future and nobody else worth remembering. All yours, on the FTP. Enjoy.
-
All now up most under freddyfly where he contributed the most pages. Great appreciation to Darkmark for completing these books and credit in the comments.
-
Thanks DM and Freddy, great team work!
:)
-
Yvw, guys. Go check in the FTP, I think I've uploaded MYSTERY MEN #8 by now. All fiche, all yours. Enjoy.
-
Going up soon...
-
Just uploaded to the FTP a slightly altered version of Loftypilot's JUNGLE ADVENTURES reprint of JUNGLE #152. This one has a better original cover and has it in front of the book. Hope you don't mind.
-
I'm sure Lofty wont mind DM, thanks.
:)
-
Well, by the time you read this, I *should* have STARTLING COMICS #13 uploaded. More Nedor niftiness from 1942, including Captain Future, the Fighting Yank, Mystico, and a bunch of other features nobody much gives a darn about. All fiche, all yours. Enjoy.
-
And we follow up with a now-complete version of AIR FIGHTERS COMICS v2 #5 and a c2c composite version of PRIZE COMICS #11, uploading now, from JVJ's, Ontology's, and Freddyfly's scans. Enjoy.
-
And awaaay we go. Thanks to everyone for their efforts all available for the masses.
-
The latest is BOY COMICS #13, a hybrid of paper and fiche, with a few fills by me. On the site link, and enjoy.
-
Hi DM,
Just catching up on your uploads and found -
STARTLING COMICS #13 has duplicates pages on pg33+35
The download also said it was a broken archive here too so a fix for the page would correct that as well.
Thanks,
-Yoc
-
I'll see about that ASAP. In the meantime, I've uploaded 3 improved (hopefully) issues of IBIS to the FTP. Thanks.
edit: The corrected STARTLING COMICS is also on the FTP. Thanks again.
-
Since I don't like looking at those crummy scans any more than you do, I've instituted the Fawcett Cleanup Project and started work on some of my earlier efforts. So far I've uploaded CAPTAIN MARVEL, JR. #1 and 2 to the FTP and I'm upping CMA #25 right now. Let me know if you like them.
-
Thanks for the corrected Airfighters book DM, you've made a young lady VERY happy ;).
-Nigel
-
"Young lady???"
Hmmm, maybe we should be looking at 'Nigel' differently?
;)
Thanks DM, I'll get those up asap.
-Yoc
-
DARN !
My secret is now out of the closet ;)
-Nigela
-
Upped a cleaned-up CAPTAIN MARVEL, JR #3 to the FTP. Not perfect, but it looks a lot better. And wait till you see Captain Nippon chewing up railroad tracks.
-
Thanks DM.
:)
-
Now on the FTP: the cleaned-up version of CAPTAIN MARVEL, JR. #4. This one features the origin of Sabbac (who was to CMJ what Ibac was to Captain Marvel), another outing with Captain Nippon (though Captain Nazi slouches off this time), and, wonder of wonders, Cap Jr.'s first battle with DR. SIVANA! Plus a cameo by Beautia Sivana. All fiche, all yours, and all readable. Enjoy.
-
The latest on the FTP: a cleaned up SPY SMASHER #1, from 1941. All fiche, all yours. Not perfect, but a lot better. Enjoy.
-
Thanks DM
:)
-
Up and ready thanks Dark
-
The latest cleanup is CAPTAIN MARVEL, JR. #7, now on the FTP. Hope you enjoy it!
-
Now we've got the first couple of issues of WHIZ COMICS and CAPTAIN MARVEL, JR. #10 on the FTP. The last of these features Cap, Jr. vs. Hitler and Sivana, with a cameo by Cap, Sr. All fiche, all yours. Enjoy.
-
By the time this gets to you, we should have CAPTAIN MARVEL, JR. #11 on the FTP. Contains at least one Mac Raboy story, another appearance by Adolf H., and the return of Captain Nazi after some r & r. All fiche, all yours. Enjoy.
-
And now CAPTAIN MARVEL, JR. #12. Featuring the Japanese, Sivana, Captain Nazi, and a zombie. You just can't go wrong with that lineup. All fiche, all yours. Enjoy.
-
Going up shortly, thanks DM
:)
-

Am curious as to which of the CMJ stories you're attributing to Raboy, DM. None of them looks like him to me. Am I missing something?
Peace, Jim (|:{>
-
I'd have to look to see, but the cutline "Drawn by Mac Raboy" under one of the stories seems a good indication.

I'd have to look to see, but the cutline "Drawn by Mac Raboy" under one of the stories seems a good indication.
The cutline is, indeed, there, DM, but nothing other than the CMJ figures looks much like his fine, polished, nicely executed work. Raboy was known for cutting and pasting his earlier efforts into new jobs, but this appears to have been finished off by various (much lesser) hands. Of course, it's VERY difficult to challenge a signature, but a credit applied to the work by the editor has less weight. Compare the non-CMJ figures with earlier, definitive Raboy work and apply a critical eye to it. Would an artist as competent as Raboy do work like that?
Peace, Jim (|:{>
-
Could be, Jim. But let's keep it friendly, shall we?
-
Could be, Jim. But let's keep it friendly, shall we?
I would dearly like you to explain, DM
what was NOT "friendly" about my comment. It certainly wasn't meant in any other fashion. It seemed to me to be an observation and an opinion and a request for a further review of the art, NONE of which casts any negative light on you as far as I can tell (or intended). Where's the beef?
Peace, Jim (|:{>
-
OK, we have another four issues of improved CM JR. (ending with #50) on the FTP, one of which is a slightly added-to Henry Peters scan which is now c2c. Also, I've done a fiche scan of MYSTERY MEN COMICS #22, and upped slimmed-down versions of WHIZ #3 and 4. Mostly fiche, all yours. Enjoy.
-
Thanks DM.
I'll get them up shortly.
---
If another set of eyes helps on the matter of Raboy I looked at the issue in question and I'm going to have to go with Jim on this one. It sort of looks like Raboy but it isn't 'classic' Raboy.
Still nice to see these books going up and holes being filled!
-
We all know about the 40's/50's Batman stories with 'Bob Kane' stamped on them although Mister Kane had NOTHING to do with most of them.

Almost said something yesterday when I saw this thread developing.
It's the internet age communication glitz striking again.
In normal conversation physical one on one we have so many different levels of communication going on.
In addition to the the mere verbage we have tonal response, facial characteristics, body language, environmental surroundings and a host of others that all consciously and unconsciously get taken into consideration when we transfer points one to another.
On this printed page we have the words.
So easy to mis-read.
-
True, very true.
Here we have strange avatars - like yours Rez.
What the heck is that? A tent?
Just curious said the monkey to the... how does that go again?

Few years back I started making domes from handmade hexagon and pentagon shaped panels. That pic is an 18fter just starting up. Weird looking pic so I thought I'd put it up here for a while in case some were getting tired of 'Human Cat Trapped By Death Gun Slugs'.
I presently serves the purpose of a shed being filled with all manner of stuff. Actually would like to add windows and 2nd floor sleeping loft in the cupola.
Here's a pic of it when nearing completion.
(http://i278.photobucket.com/albums/kk117/rez100/1218ftdomeshingle.jpg)
-
How'd all of this get in my uploads thread??
-
You know how it is DM - those handmade domes can pop up anywhere!
;)
Very impressive work Rez. Feel free to share more pics of your works in the General area.
Ok gang, lets give DM back his thread here.
-
Thanks. I'm up to CMJ #77 now and that's as far as I'm gonna go tonight. No Mac Raboy, but plenty of Joe Certa. No domes that I know of. All fiche, all on the FTP. Enjoy.
-
How'd all of this get in my uploads thread??
Oops! Sorry DM, just get to roaming sometimes and forget where I am.
I'll have to watch that.
-
Thanks, Rez. ;-) Now, I have a cleaned up version of CAPTAIN MARVEL, JR. #80 on the FTP. In fact, I've got about 5 cleaned-up versions of CMJ on the FTP, and some of them haven't been added to the downloads here yet. Who's up for it?
-
Thanks DM,
They are all up now.
:)
-
Thank you, Yoc. And there's another CMJ on the FTP now.
-
Now up!
-
Thanks again, Yoc. And the 3 issues now on the FTP finish up the Captain Marvel, Jr. part of our fiche cleanup. More to come!
-
Now up, thanks DM.
:)
-
Thanks. Now, about 20 minutes from this posting, we should have MYSTERY MEN #4 on the FTP. It's stitched together from the previous posting, JVJ's scans, and my own fiche fills (about 4 pages), and it's big, but it's complete. Hope you enjoy it.
-
Excellent Team Work!
Thanks very much guys. :D
Going up now. :)
-
I'm enjoying the heck out of Freddyfly's scans and I had a scan of page 1 of RULAH #21, so I incorporated it into Freddy's version and uploaded it to the FTP. All yours.
-
I'm also uploading a c2c version of BULLETMAN #6 using GoldenAger's paper scans and 4 fiche fills from me (the text story and the Chubby feature). Also I'm starting to clean up the MARVEL FAMILY scans so be looking for those this weekend.
-
+1 karma for amazing work DM.
I wish I had your stamina.
-Yoc
-
Still doing stuff, but here's what I have so far: completed versions of AMERICA'S BEST #12, BLACK TERROR #7, EXCITING COMICS #9, four MARVEL FAMILYs, the RULAH and BULLETMAN aforementioned, and a brand-new scan of STARTLING COMICS #14 (fiche). All on the FTP. Go get 'em.
-
Now up!
-
I'll announce it over here, too: I filled out a few more EXCITING COMICS and posted another cleaned-up version of MARVEL FAMILY (#13). All yours, all on the FTP. Enjoy.
-
All going up shortly, thanks DM.
:)
-
And while you weren't looking, I snuck in MARVEL FAMILY #15 on you. Enjoy.
-
and a c2c MF 25, cool!
Thanks DM, going up shortly.
-
Thank you, Yoc. I stuck a couple more Marvel Familys on the FTP tonight.
-
Both now up gang.
-
Thanks, Yoc. Now, for your amusement, we have MARVEL FAMILY #28...and as soon as I can manage it, we'll have a c2c version of MARVEL FAMILY #21 uploaded, from Guest User's paper scans and my fiche fills. Hope you'll like them.
-
Thanks DM, I had a feeling you'd want to do that.
;)
-
Just upped a new version of MARVEL FAMILY #30. Hope you enjoy it.
-
Now up!
-
I've just uploaded a hybrid version of MARVEL FAMILY #63.
Large file sized paper scans from Guest User (who's too shy to register I guess) and fiche fills from Darkmark.
Enjoy,
-Yoc
-
Thanks for the MF #63. I've uploaded an improved MARVEL FAMILY #31 to the FTP and I'm in the process of uploading MYSTERY MEN #23, both from fiche. Enjoy.
-
Thanks DM now up
-
Hi DM,
Hey, thanks for some new Fox!
Sadly scan #45 and 46 are of the same page.
I've removed the book as I see I was the only downloader so far.
If you could reupload the book with the missing real pg45 that would be great.
Thanks!
:)
-
I'm uploading a corrected version now. Please don't pay attention to the numbering at the end. It's all there. Trust me.
-

You have time to look at these things ??? I do very little reading. More time researching etc. I did pick up a few new pulls that looked good, Captain Blood, Executive Assistant Iris and Absolution. The only other new books I get are JLA, JSA, Femforce (alas probably doomed by Diamond and it has the record for longest running indy) End League and Phantom Generations. I usually look over the "new" horror books that come in GAC and an oddball if we get any. End League would be better to get in GN form but I do not think it has been collected yet and may not be. I find that I have read so many comics in my life that it gets harder to follow even a monthly comic with story arcs. I do not like having to remember what I read a month ago my brain is too clogged up because I do have a pretty good memory. I get JLA and JSA as GN now so I can read the story arcs all at once. I just read Werewolves on the Moon vs Vampires from Dark Horse and added it to my pull great crazy fun.
-
Thanks DM!
:)
Hi Narf, I do actually read two 'new' books without fail.
FABLES and JACK OF FABLES.
Wonderful artwork and very inventive story lines packed full of fables I know and many many I've never heard of but enjoy discovering.
-
any of you guys ever read Tim Trumans 'Scout' series from, what was it...back in the late 80s?
Years back a buddy gave me the whole collection and said something to the effect of 'Take these and read 'em'. Ended up glad he did as it was found an enjoyable read.
Always was one to like those futuristic 'After it all hits the fan' stories and films.
be a child enthralled in those old b&w movies
-
Not sure how moving topics work but this should be moved. I got the first issue of Scout when it came out but there was so much coming out I never persued it
-
Narf,
To split a topic hit 'Split Topic' over on the far right of the First Message you want to include in the new topic.
Then give the new topic a name and tell it which section to put it in. General Discussion or Comics Talk.
-Yoc
-
It's a doubleheader of improved Fawcett fiche tonight: MASTER COMICS #23 (great Mac Raboy cover and Cap Jr.) and MARVEL FAMILY #32. Both on the FTP. Go get 'em!
-
In addition to that hybrid of MARVEL FAMILY #73, I'm uploading an improved-fiche version of MARVEL FAMILY #39. On the FTP, all yours. Enjoy.
-
Thanks DM,
I'll add anything I find in your folder except for Marvel Family 35 as OtherEric has already supplied a c2c paper scan of that issue.
:)
-
Thanks, Yoc. Since I noticed that the copy of MARVEL FAMILY #50 we had was incomplete, I posted my own, which is. Blessings.
-
Thanks DM.
Is that another hybrid or all fiche?
-
Neither. It's all paper. I'm also uploading a hybrid of MARVEL FAMILY #78 from my fiche and Guest User's paper scans.
-
All paper, excellent!
Going up soon, thanks DM.
:)
-
I've uploaded 3 improved-fiche versions of MARY MARVEL plus a paper copy of a CAPTAIN MARVEL, JR. you didn't have. All on the FTP. Enjoy.
-
Now up thanks DM
-
Yvw, Narf. And here's some more stuff to keep you busy: SPECIAL EDITION COMICS #1 (the real deal, not a reprint), SPY SMASHER #9 (the real one), MARVEL FAMILY #42 (I think), and three hybrid WOW COMICS I filled out (#6, 57 and 58). They're all on the FTP. Enjoy.
-
Thanks for the Fawcett bonanza now up DM
-
Thanks, Narf! Now, let's see if I can remember everything I've done lately...there are improved versions of MARVEL FAMILY #49 and MASTER COMICS #118 up, plus brand-new scans of STARTLING COMICS #20 (Pyroman, Fighting Yank, Captain Future, et al) and PRIZE COMICS #30 (Yank and Doodle, Black Owl, Green Lama, Dr. Frost, and a Frankenstein story you won't believe!). All fiche, all yours, all on the FTP. Enjoy.
-
Thanks DM now available
-
Wow, that's great work, thanks DM!
:D
-
Yvw, crew. But wait! There's more. I cleaned up, shrank down, and posted (I think) 7 issues of MILITARY COMICS fiche scans to the FTP (and the site link), getting all those finished off in my bad pile. Problem is, #40 turns out to be missing pages 2 and 3 of the Blackhawk story, so if anyone's got those, please add 'em. (And if you have reprints of those pages, send 'em to me!) Also, I posted a partial of an issue that just has the Blackhawk and Torchy stories, not my scans, but we didn't have 'em. So at least we have better-looking and easier-to-handle scans for these. Enjoy.
-
Lastly, I've uploaded some more...PRIZE COMICS #30, hybridized by me and Fredddyfly; a complete version of Freddyfly's JUNGLE COMICS; and an improved MARVEL FAMILY. That's it. I'm going to bed. Enjoy.
-
Thanks DM. Now up!
And another thanks for using the UPLOAD link on the site! :)
One note, could you please try to use the same file name standard as the other books already on the site?
I've corrected them so far so they all fall in numerical order. Your old names would have appeared at the end of all the others out of order.
It's not a huge deal but matching the others would help out us mods when adding them to the site.
Thanks again!
:D
-
Freddyfly has gotten good at the proper naming thing if we could just get him to let us know when he has uploaded.
-
True, and perhaps give credit to original scanners while avoiding scans not allowed on the site.
I just check the unapproved files section everyday and there's usually something waiting from him.
His pt 1 of 'All Great 1944' didn't work so I uploaded the missing pages but they wont look the same as GU's pt2.
-Yoc
-
Thanks, guys. Just uploaded new, slimmed-down versions of MARVEL FAMILY #53-55 to the FTP. All fiche, all yours. Enjoy.
ETA: Also uploading a cleaned-up version of MARVEL FAMILY #59. I think with about 9 more, we'll have this title taken care of.
-
All up, thanks DM.
-
DM your awesome. Between you and Powder the Fawcett is going to run dry as in all used up present and accounted for. The superheroes at least. Still lots of romance, etc to go
-
Thanks, Narf, but there's still a BUNCH of Fawcett hero stuff we haven't covered. One-shots like ALL HERO and CRIME SMASHER, 37 issues of CAP JR., and the like. But we're making progress!
-
On the FTP we now have an improved-fiche version of MARVEL FAMILY #60 and a corrected-numbering version of MARVEL FAMILY #61. Go get 'em, Narf.
-
Now up, thanks DM.
Say, there are some Marvel Family books which could use a hybrid version (MF 65)
or could be merged into one file (MF 47, 66) if you had some time.
:)
-
I'll see what I can do. But what do you mean about those two being "merged into one file"?
-
Some missing pages for MF47 and MF66 were uploaded separately so we have the bulk of the book for each in one file and just the missing pgs in another. The two could be merged into on c2c file.
Ah, I see you've already done it! Thanks DM!
:) :D ;D
-
Well, rather than that, I'm uploading c2c paper scans I've already done (one is on the FTP) of those issues, and I've hybridized the one in question. Plus I've added two more improved fiche versions. Now we've got new uploads of MARVEL FAMILY #47 and 65-68. Won't be much longer before we have this puppy done.
-
Ah, perhaps if you are doing new scans of a book already on the site from someone else could you add (new scans) in the title?
Just so I don't delete the old one thinking yours is a re-edit.
Your uploads going live shortly.
:)
-
Hey DM,
We already have a paper scan you uploaded of MF 68, no point in adding your fiche scan don't you think?
-
Thanks, Yoc. I've just uploaded the last 4 Marvel Familys by site link: #80 and 83-85. Enjoy. On to Master Comics!
-
As a prelude, I've uploaded hybridized c2c versions of two issues of MASTER COMICS by me (fiche) and dpdodson (paper) to the FTP. Enjoy.
-
Thanks DM.
I didn't add your Marvel Family 084 (fiche) as I figured you might want to merge with the 18pgs that GU just added first.
-Yoc
-
Where are the pages he added?
-
Says so yeah, it's now up.
There's another set of the book by RobC that I have marked as 'small scans' if you want to hold off on MF84 a bit while I try and find it on my disks.
-
I'll go ahead and hybridize it, but if you have an all-paper version, I want to see it. BTW, you might consult BrainDead and see if you can delete those replaced scans of his on Marvel Family, 'cause the old ones are mine.
-
Ok DM.
BrainDead doesn't frequent the site. As new stuff is added I've been deleting old all along.
-Yoc
-
MF84 from RobC is uploading now but I warn you DM, these are EXTREMELY small. Total size - 3.31mb!
Page size - 500 x 750 - I would recommend you merge your normal sized fiche with GU's paper.
-
I've downloaded RobC's version which is just fine, except that it's a bit grainy. Went ahead and uploaded the hybrid version of MF #84 to the FTP (tried the site link, but my computer froze up). Pretty soon I'll be uploading another brace of MASTER COMICS to the FTP, ending with a new hybrid of #21. Fawcett cleanup marches on!
-
I had never added that scan because of the size but as you requested it...
I hope someday Rob perhaps rescans it or shares his much more likely larger original scans of it.
Seems to me this might have been pulled off AIBQ (http://tinyurl.com/lpvf2x).
They would shrink their scans, I'm not sure if they still do.
-Yoc
-
Thanks, Yoc. I'm adding a brace of 9 more issues of improved-fiche MASTER ending in #40, which should be on the FTP when you get up in the morning. Lots of great Mac Raboy covers and interior work. We'll get this finished yet!
-
Thanks DM.
:)
-
Yvw, Yoc. 5 more issues of MASTER on the FTP now.
-
OK, all of the rest of the MASTER COMICS uploads are on the FTP. Go grab 'em. I have a few more things upcoming. Thanks.
-
Well, now that we have the MASTER COMICS out of the way, I've got a few new uploads on the FTP. First, there are the two completed DOLL MANs from Guest User and me. Next, there's an improved-fiche version of SLAM-BANG COMICS #1. Finally, there's MYSTERY MEN COMICS #28 and 29, both fiche, which retires the side for that title (and finishes up my Fox holdings). I may have some other stuff this weekend, but that's what I've got for right now. Enjoy.
-
Thanks DM, I'll get to them Monday.
:)
-
Yvw and hope to have some Startling Comics for you soon.
-
Just for the fun of it, I'm uploading 6 slimmed-down versions of KID ETERNITY to the FTP right now. You've got a lot of work ahead.
-
Working on them now DM.
Say, did you want to merge your Kid Eternity 003 + 010 with the paper stories trangopif uploaded? Better see if it's a reprint too. If so let me know so I can delete it.
I see Kid Eternity 017 is still missing pg 4+5 from the second KE story. No luck with fills there?
Mystery Men Comics 029 has a broken scan #58. Also - if you were to remove the "THUMBNAILS.DB" out of each of your files you'd shave even more off the file size. These are XP files not needed to work. I always delete them when I find them.
-Yoc
'Question Monkey'
-
Well, iirc, trango's #3 upload is one of those super-small jobbies, and #10's story is from a DETECTIVE COMICS reprint. Sorry about the Mystery Men. And no, I haven't had any luck finiding fills for that Kid Eternity. Hope somebody can.
-
Ok, thanks for the update DM.
I've added the KE books and left MM29 alone until the new version is up.
-
Thank YOU, Yoc. And I'm uploading a corrected version of MM #29 to the FTP, whilst I already have up a fiche scan of STARTLING COMICS #28. Enjoy.
-
When do you sleep or eat DM? You're a machine!
Thanks. :)
-
Thanks so much for all of your uploads, DM! ;D
-
DM go take a nap you earned. Then get back to work :D
-
Yvw, guys. But I can't go to sleep yet, I'm baking a cherry pie and then a meatloaf. ANYway...I just uploaded STARTLING COMICS #29 for all you Pyromaniacs, which is my last one on that title. I'll start next with either EXCITING or THRILLING. Plus, of course, more cleanups when I can get to them. Thanks!
-
Thanks DM.
I'll get that up tomorrow.
-
Thanks, Yoc. Since then, via site link (as you know), I've uploaded an improved fiche version of BLACKHAWK #13 and I'm uploading SLAM-BANG COMICS #2 as I write this. Hope you enjoy them.
-
Since Yoc thankfully got me back on the FTP, I've been able to upload a bunch of BLACKHAWK (mostly fills, some improved fiche) plus one ish apiece of MILITARY and CRACK. Go get 'em.
-
Thanks DM, I just spent some time cleaning up duplicates, etc in the Quality section.
Your's will go up soon.

Since Yoc thankfully got me back on the FTP, I've been able to upload a bunch of BLACKHAWK (mostly fills, some improved fiche) plus one ish apiece of MILITARY and CRACK. Go get 'em.
I hear you had the same problem accessing the ftp site, DM.
What did you do to rectify the problem? I ended up using the numeric IP address and it worked fine, but none of my computers, programs or browsers seemed to be able to find ftp.goldenagecomics.co.uk which was a perfectly adequate and functioning address last week. Weird.
Peace, Jim (|:{>
-
Jim-
Is jvj@bpib.com your public address?
-
Jim: I had to use the numeric one as per Yoc's instructions. Thanks.
-
Jim-
Is jvj@bpib.com your public address?
That's fine, Rez. I have several email addresses, but jvj@bpib.com is the one I've been using on GAC, so let's keep it at that.
and, DM, did you figure out WHY the numeric IP address was needed? I was extremely puzzled by all of this "change" stuff happening. I don't like change. I'm too old for change and I'm not going to stand for it anymore. So THERE.
Peace, Jim (|:{>
-
Latest uploads: improved versions of SLAM-BANG COMICS #3 and BLACKHAWK #21, both on the FTP. And Jon, I don't have any idea why the thing acted like that. Really.
-
and, DM, did you figure out WHY the numeric IP address was needed?
For what it's worth, I never use the "ftp" name in the address, since it's (apparently) the same physical machine as the server.
I was extremely puzzled by all of this "change" stuff happening. I don't like change. I'm too old for change and I'm not going to stand for it anymore. So THERE.
Plus it jingles in your pockets when you walk.

Now up DM.
Oh I Hate change!! Keys are bad enough and both.... Grrr!

VOILA! John. I took out the ftp and it worked just fine. I looked in my old register of ftp logins for FTP Voyager and the 'ftp" prefix has always been there. When things suddenly stopped working, I didn't bother to question that aspect of the address. Thanks to you, the simple fix gets me back on. Thanks again.

Now appearing on the FTP: EXCITING COMICS #5 from 1940. Featuring nobody you'll even remotely care about! But it's a fun scan, nonetheless. Enjoy. It's fiche, btw.
-
I've also uploaded a somewhat improved SLAM-BANG and a couple of slimmed-down and, in one case, corrected PLASTIC MANs to the FTP. Go get 'em.
-
Thanks as always DM for you diligent work on the fiche front for GAC.
:)
Oh-oh - Exciting 5 has duplicate pages on 30-31. Could we get a fix DM?
-Yoc
-
Yup, I'll upload it directly. And already on the FTP, we have a fiche scan of PLASTIC MAN #1. That gets that one out of the way, so grab it and put it up!
-
Outstanding the classic key is not onsite thanks DM
-
Yvw, Narfstar. Also, I've just uploaded two POLICE COMICS issues with c2c properties to replace a couple of incompletes. One of them (#65) is nms. The other (#45) is mostly Henry Peters scans with centerfold fiche scans by me. All yours.
-
Police now up thans DM
-
Thanks for the Police Comics fills DM, Great to see this fine series come another couple of steps closer to completion.
-Nigel
(Polce Comics Fan Supreme)
-
Yvw, Phabox. Just wish I had the Ken Shannon issues we need to complete it. Anyway, I'm uploading some improved fiche versions of Blackhawk to the site link, so you'll have that before long.
-
Uploaded the rest of the Blackhawks, some improved fiche, some paper versions which are nms. Some are on the site link and some are on the FTP. Enjoy.
-
Now up, thanks DM!
-
Thanks, Yoc. Did and uploaded the rest of the SLAM BANG COMICS, I'm uploading slimmer versions of SPY SMASHER to the FTP, and we'll also have some improved WHIZ COMICS before it's over.
-
Slimmed down version of Whiz 5 now available thanks DM
-
Now up!
-
Thanks, Yoc and Narf. Now going up (though it'll take a little time) on the FTP are slimmed-down versions of WHIZ COMICS #12-16. Just a little bit at a time.
-
You already know about it, but I upped 6 more issues of WHIZ to the FTP and you've added them by now. Just making sure folks know about it.
-
3 more WHIZ COMICS issues tonight. We're getting there.
-
And 5 more issues of WHIZ tonight. Hope you enjoy them.
-
OK...just uploaded some more upgrades of WHIZ and about 4 upgrades of CRACK COMICS. Take note that we're missing 6 pages on one CRACK issue, so if anyone has 'em, post 'em. Also another ish had a defective page which I've replaced. Have fun. More to come!
-
Uploaded the rest of my CRACK COMICS offerings, which you're welcome to. All on the FTP. Enjoy.
-
thanks DM.
I've added some paper BC pages to Crack 13 and reuploaded it.
I also uploaded paper scans of Planet #5.
:)
-
Well, just for that, I'm gonna upload a combo of mine and Freddyfly's CRACK COMICS #4 (6 pages STILL missing) and an nms paper copy of HIT COMICS #52 to the ftp! So THERE!! :)
-
Darn, still missing those pages eh? Oh well...
I'll add these shortly.
-
Keep up the good work in filling up all those Cracks. (Bad pun wasn't it?) I'm enjoying thos erare issues of Crack Comics, particularly the ones featuring the Black Condor and Alias the Spider. Not to mention The Clock and Jane Arden strips. Hope you plan to add some issues of National Comics in the future.
Keep up the good work and KEEP 'EM FLYING!!!
-
Always nice to hear a thank-you from happy readers!
+1 karma for Mr I!
:)
-
Glad you liked 'em, Mr. I. Don't know if I have any National to upload. Thanks, Yoc.
EDIT: I uploaded a couple of paper NATIONAL scans which are nms. They're on the FTP.
-
Thanks DM, they are now up.
-
I'm uploading completed versions of Freddyfly's recent AIR FIGHTERS scans to the FTP. Hope you enjoy them.
-
Thanks DM!
-
Yvw. Also just added a completed WHIZ #37 plus the rest of my improved-fiche WHIZ. Next up will probably be WOW. Hope you enjoy them.
-
Now, I've uploaded about 7 issues of WOW COMICS in improved-fiche version. Grab 'em hot off the transfer!
-
Now I've uploaded all the rest of the WOW COMICS I had improved fiche for. They're all yours.
-
Thanks DM.
I have an incomplete Wow 50 from somewhere that I've merged with your fiche to complete to book.
-
Thanks definitely for that one, Yoc. Now we're back to new fiche postings with EXCITING COMICS #26, up you know where. Enjoy.
-
Thanks for another exciting addition DM now ready for all
-
Just uploaded a c2c JUNGLE COMICS #6 mesh from Freddyfly's paper scans and Rolster / Brainiac's fiche, plus a fiche scan of EXCITING COMICS #27 by me. Go get 'em!
-
Thank you sir dark they are now available
-
Thank you, Narf. Also I've uploaded EXCITING COMICS #6. Tried upping it by the site-link, but that wouldn't work, so I had to go the other route. Enjoy.
-
Very nice darkmark Thank you! I've been enjoying Wow and Exciting both - as you can see by my avatar...
-
Yvw, Astaldo. More Exciting to come.
-
I wonder how many action verbs they used back then for comic book titles? Wow! Exciting! Thrilling! Crack! Whiz!
-
Good question. I think a lot of times they just threw a word out there that sounded good to them, slapped "comics" underneath it, and let it go. In other news, there are about 4 or 5 files in my share that need to be put on the site. Go to it, guys!
-
Also, considering that thematic anthologies and single-character comics are still in the future in most cases, what else do you name your book? Imagine the glee a young lad in the 1930s would feel at seeing the first issue of Ho-Hum Comics, Inaction Weekly, and Reading (This) Does Not Pay.
Someone also once pointed out to me that you can get away with less specificity earlier in a genre. The first superhero can be named Superman. The hundredth? Not so much, because so many "super-men" have come before and the name rings hollow. Likewise, you can only get away with Thrilling Comics early in the cycle, when there's (frankly) less to compare to.
-
Just uploaded an EXCITING COMICS #7, which was my scan, and a couple of WAMBIs, which weren't. Enjoy.
-
Exciting now up.
Wambi 5 was actually 6 which we already had.
Isn't it annoying books are getting shared with the wrong number?
:(
-
Thanks, Yoc, looks like you got that Wings too. Also, I've combined the paper and fiche versions of JUMBO COMICS #14 and uploaded it to the FTP. It's big, but it's worth it.
-
Thanks to the efforts of Mr. Door Tree, I've been able to upload about 3 more Doll Man stories from FEATURE we didn't have and improve two existing FEATUREs with paper scans of the Doll Man stories. Also, there's still the completed JUMBO in my file...something wrong with that?
-
Thanks DM.
I only saw your posts today.
I hope you don't mind but I took a look and using FF's paper and Rolster's fiche for fills and got Jumbo14 down to a smaller 38mb. I'll add it to the site to save space and bandwidth.
Many thanks for the Feature fills.
-Yoc
-
Nope, I'm glad to have a smaller size. Thanks.
-
Glad to hear it. :)
I've just noticed Feature 52 & 53 have the same Dollman story inside DM.
Any chance of the real 53 story being added?
-
I'll look into it. Thanks, Yoc.
UPDATE: The story is actually from FEATURE #52. Thanks.
-
I've uploaded three singular Will Eisner stories from late Thirties Centaur Comics (including "Muss 'Em Up"), all of them nms, but what the hey. And I'm in the process of refurbishing and uploading the last of my AIRBOY COMICS fiche scans that needed to be fixed. Enjoy.
-
I've uploaded three singular Will Eisner stories from late Thirties Centaur Comics (including "Muss 'Em Up"), all of them nms, but what the hey.
I haven't been able to locate your uploads yet, darkmark, but you reminded me that I have a scan of the complete "Muss 'Em Up" story over on my Comicartville.com site as well as two other Thirties Eisner stories. Here are the links and the comics they appeared in:
Detective Picture Stories #4 (March 1937)--"Muss 'Em Up"
http://comicartville.com/mussemuppg1.htm
Funny Picture Stories #4 (Feb. 1937)--"The Brothers 3"
http://comicartville.com/brothers3pg1.htm
Western Picture Stories #2 (March 1937)--"The Law of Caribou County"
http://comicartville.com/lawcariboupg1.htm
Hope you all enjoy. And if you care to read the entire Eisner article I wrote which has lots of rare scans, that link is here:

Ken, those Centaurs from DM are your scans.
I'll add them here with a note to see your article.
DM, we already have paper scans of Airboy Comics v7 03 (scanner unknown) so I wont add your fiche one.
You might want to double check what we already have before you start work on a duplicate issue number, it's only killing your own time in this case. As a rule any issue without (fiche) in in its name is a paper scan.
Your Airboy Comics v04 05 was also an incomplete upload. I cleaned up my older version of yours (with a paper scan of Flying Fool) and have uploaded it for you. If you check you'll see how Photoshop can improve on the darkness of the original fiche.
I also have a c2c version of Airboy Comics v04 06 that is a complete paper scan. I've uploaded it for you as well.
Say, if you have something just missing a page or two you can send me a message and I'll check if I have the missing pages for you.
Take care,
-Yoc
-
Ken, those Centaurs from DM are your scans.
I'll add them here with a note to see your article.
Thank you, Yoc! My article puts those particular stories in context (they were among the very first things to come out of the newly formed Eisner/Iger shop) and the folks frequenting this terrific site may enjoy seeing and reading about Will Eisner's formative years.
--Ken Quattro
-
You're very welcome Ken.
I highly recommend http://comicartville.com gang.
Ken's article is a must read for Eisner fans and there are a LOT of other fine articles on the artists and publishers that make our hobby so interesting.
-Yoc
-
Well, thanks for the corrections and pointing out the Airboys, Yoc. I've just uploaded a c2c scan of CLUE COMICS #4, with a few fiche pages added to round it out and the page order corrected. Hope you enjoy.
-
Looks great DM, going up soon.
-Yoc
-
Thanks, Yoc. And the latest is EXCITING COMICS #12, with the Black Terror and some other Nedor noteworthies. All fiche, all yours. Enjoy.
-
Going up now
-
Well, I uploaded a copy of AIRBOY COMICS V. 6 #11 which incorporates both Freddyfly's scans of Airboy and Heap and the remainder (except the missing covers) from Jodyanimator, which, I think, preserves the best features of both. All yours.
-
Going up shortly, thanks DM.
:)
-
Here's some more work for you, Yoc: EXCITING COMICS #14, featuring the Black Terror and a bunch of nonentities. All fiche, all yours. Enjoy.
-
Thanks DM, up soon.
-
Thanks for the Exciting Comics Darkmark, always appreciated!
-
Yvw, Astaldo. Right now I'm working on updates of a few Whiz Comics, with paper scans of some stories provided by Mr. Door Tree and the fiche fills from me. Two are up as of this writing and we have a few more to come.
-
The latest is EXCITING COMICS #17, uploaded via sitelink. All fiche, all yours, all Terrorific. Enjoy.
-
Now available thanks DM
-
Yvw, Narf. Now, for this weekend, I've uploaded an ish of KATY KEENE which was not my scans, two issues of ZIP COMICS which mostly weren't my scans (I added a few fichers to make them c2c), and EXCITING COMICS #35, which really was my scans. Enjoy.
-
Thanks DM!
I've added them to the site.
Just a note - EXCITING COMICS #17 has duplicate pages. I've sent you a PM about it.
Nice to be back!
-Yoc
-
Welcome back Yoc. Hope we did not break anything while you were gone. And I do not think it took as long to fill the 100 last issues this time as last time.
-
Darkmark,
Thanks for the upgrades to Zip (There does seem to be an extraneous page but it's not numbered the same and is easy to discard.)
Do you have fiche of Zip #36 and 37? Our scan 36 is missing 2 cfs (Only 4 pages are indicated with missing, but I assume it should eb 68 pages total like all the previous issues not 64). Our 37 has 61 images including a poor cover. It appears to be missing four covers and teh centerfold.
-
Sorry, but what you see is what I've got.
-
Fixed versions of Hit14 and Exciting17 from DM are now up!
:)
-
Thanks, Yoc. Now, for your enjoyment, we present EXCITING COMICS #53, with Miss Masque, the Black Terror, and some other folks you'll probably never hear of again. Find out what they were like before Alan Moore and Alex Ross got their grubby little hands on them. ;-)
-
Another one I stitched together: JUMBO COMICS #42, not complete but completer (52 out of 68 pages). Composed of Freddyfly's scans plus the Ghost Gallery scans by Pappy. Going up soon on an FTP near you.
-

Oh boy, yet another Exciting! Thanks for all of these DM, and keep them coming for as long as you can!
DHFH
-
Fixed versions of Hit14 and Exciting17 from DM are now up!
:)
Sorry to have be the bearer of cold water, but Exciting #17 still has at least 1 duplicate page: pages 21 and 23 are still the same.
DHFH
-
Damn, thanks for telling us DH... hopefully DM can fix it.
-
I've got a recorrected version of EXCITING #17 on the FTP and that BETTER be the end of it! ;-)
-
Looks good to me DM, going up now.
:)
-
Well, I've stitched together a more complete (but still missing some pages) version of BLACK TERROR #25 from the two versions we have and I've posted it to the FTP. Also, our "BLACK TERROR #1" is actually BT #13, and I'm upping a version with the correct front cover. We need to delete the phony BT #1. None of these are my scans, but I thought you'd want to know.
-
Thanks DM!
Great catch on BT#1. Keltner Index confirms it's 13 as well.
:)
-
Thanks so much for the updated Black Terrors, DM. I don't remember the Canadian copy upload of #25 having that final BT story, which was a lot of fun and great to read (hence the book being more complete). Not to mention that the artwork is smashing. :)
-
Yup, Narf, Robinson and Meskin are always a joy to behold. And speaking of the Black Terror, I'm just now uploading EXCITING COMICS #55 to the FTP, which not only contains another BT story but the origin of Judy of the Jungle! Hope the mods grab it soon.
-
Thanks DM!
-
Yvw, Yoc. And now it's EXCITING COMICS #57, with another Black Terror tale and Judy of the Jungle's showdown with Kurt Von Saber. On the FTP, so grab it fast.
-
Available to the world thanks Dark
-
Yvw, Yoc. And now it's EXCITING COMICS #57, with another Black Terror tale and Judy of the Jungle's showdown with Kurt Von Saber. On the FTP, so grab it fast.
Yeah! More Exciting Comics! More BT! Thanks eversomuch, DM, and please keep them coming for as long as you can!
DHFH
(P.S. I hope this doesn't mean you're about to say "sorry, that's all there is..." like you've had to when others have cheered you on. Fingers crossed against it!)
-
Nope. We have a few more Excitings left, then we start on Thrilling. Have faith.
-
Just uploaded EXCITING COMICS #61 to the FTP, along with several completed versions of other issues using other folks' scans and my fiche. Enjoy.
-
Thanks DM, I'll start working on them asap.
-Yoc
-
The latest is EXCITING COMICS #63, featuring another great Ralph Mayo Judy of the Jungle story and another fine Black Terror tale by Robinson / Meskin if I'm not mistaken. All yours, all fiche. Enjoy.
-
Now up!
-
I think someone requested another ish of REAL LIFE COMICS from Nedor, so I found one and uploaded it. Not my scans. Hope you enjoy it.
-
thanks for Real Life 53 DM now up.
-
Just uploaded my last EXCITING COMICS fiche scan, issue #64. More great Judy of the Jungle and a Robinson / Meskin Black Terror. After this, we'll get into something Thrilling.
-
Thanks DM, it's now up.
:)
-
Just uploaded a combo of Freddyfly's TIM HOLT #24 combined with 3 pages from my own scan. Enjoy.
-
Thanks a lot DM. Nice to see some new things appearing. Hopefully Serj will get things fixed soon.
-
Thanks DM, when we finally get sorted your uploads will show up on the site.
Sorry for the delay but it can't be avoided.
-Yoc
-
Understood, Yoc. When you do, you'll also have a c2c version of WHIZ #46 as you expected from Freddyfly's paper and my fiche. Thanks.
-
Good to hear DM. :)
You are one of the ones likely more effected than most by this buggy software issue.
Please stick with us - we certainly value your uploads!
-Yoc
-
I've uploaded THRILLING COMICS #1 (1940) by site link, featuring the first appearance of Dr. Strange, later Doc Strange, still later Tom Strange of ABC fame. All fiche, all yours. Enjoy.
-
DM, please use the FTP for uploads. Thrilling1 cannot be added to site until Serj can fix the login error. If you'd like to upload it again to the FTP I can add it to the site asap.
Sorry
-
I've just upped it to the FTP, including a FEATURE COMICS #79 which is nms. Enjoy.
-
Thanks for the re-upload DM, I'll let everyone know when the Upload File link is HOPEFULLY working again someday.
Along with DM's uploads expect new FreddyFly and Darwination scans due up in the near future gang!
:)
-
I'm uploading 2 stories from FRANKENSTEIN #16 (1948) to the FTP. Nms, but when has that ever stopped me? Blessings.
-
Thanks DM,
Now up!
:)
-
The latest is THRILLING COMICS #2, with the second appearance of Dr. Strange, the Woman in Red, and a bunch of nonentities. On the FTP. Enjoy.
-
Thanks DM, going up shortly gang!
:)
-
Added one more story to FRANKENSTEIN #5 and upped it to the FTP. None of them are my scans, but is anyone complaining?
-
Excellent!
And I found another non-Franky story to add to Frankenstein #18.
That makes both just one story short from complete.
Thanks to Karswell for the #18 scans. I don't know who DM found his on.
Both going up shortly. :)
-Yoc
-
Before I zonked out this morning, I upped a paper scan of SPY SMASHER #6 (from Mr. Door Tree) to the FTP. Reach down and grab it.
-
got and sending it up now
-
Thanks very much DM!
I checked and it's missing some filler pages. I've merged it with your fiche to create a c2c hybrid.
I'll upload this c2c tomorrow.
Of course our thanks to Mr Doortree for the paper scans.
:)
-
My contribs have slowed down a lot lately to various factors, but I hope to have another ish of THRILLING up in a week or so. Thanks.
-
Looking forward to it DM
:)
-
Just in time for Christmas: THRILLING COMICS #3, from 1940, featuring the 3rd Doctor (Doc / Tom) Strange, the second Woman in Red, and the first Ghost. All fiche, all yours. Enjoy.
-
Thanks DM! Going up soon.
And a Merry Christmas to you as well.
:)
-
Just uploaded to the FTP: an updated MASTER COMICS #40, with Pappy's scans of the Cap Jr. story integrated into it. Enjoy.
-
Thanks DM, going up soon.
:)
-
The latest FTP add is THRILLING COMICS #4, with Dr. Strange, the Woman in Red, and the Ghost. It's thrilling. Kinda. Enjoy.
-
ready for all thanks dm
-
Thanks guys!
:)
-
The bit is that Doc Strange doesn't REALLY get thrilling until he puts on that red shirt and those jodhpurs. But that, like his "Doc" name, is still some issues in the future. Stick with us, gang!
-
I'm uploading THRILLING #6, with the usual suspects and a very unusual title for the Woman in Red story. Grab it quick once it's uploaded, 'cause you never know when this thing's going to go down again.
-
Narf, could you please add this one?
Thanks for the upload DM!
:)
-
working on it
-
Now up, many thanks Narf! :)
-
THRILLING #7 has just been upped to the FTP. All fiche, all yours. Grab it before the site goes down again!
-
Thanks DM.
Narf, could you add this please? I'm adding several ffly and some Police issues.
Thanks,
-Yoc
-
Not only is it thrilling to have the site up but also issue 7 is availbable
-
Thanks guys!
:)
-
Thrilling Comics #9 is on the FTP now. It's the first appearance of Doc Strange in his red suit, for what that's worth. Grabbable!
-
Thanks DM. I added a paper cover.
Going up now!
-
To celebrate our new FTP coming online, I've uploaded THRILLING COMICS #11 and 13. All fiche, all c2c, all fun. Enjoy.
-
Our thanks DM.
Glad you've stuck with us through a trying time.
:)
-
Yvw, Yoc. I think I've uploaded a new version of Captain Marvel, Jr. #68 to the FTP. If I haven't, give me a holler.
-
I'll look into it as soon as the Canadian women's hockey team wins gold (he said with fingers crossed)
:)
-Yoc
-
I've just uploaded an improved fiche version of the *real* MASTER COMICS #12 to the FTP. Enjoy.
-
OK, I've melded Freddyfly's scans with some fiche pages of mine to produce a c2c of BLACK CAT #10, on the FTP. Enjoy.
-
Did the same thing with my fiche and Freddyfly's scans for CAPTAIN MARVEL, JR. #3. On the FTP. Grab it.
-
And with CAPTAIN MARVEL, JR. #4...yep, you guessed it. Go grab it.
-
CM jr 4 now up thanks guys
-
Just uploaded a c2c of Freddyfly's THRILLING COMICS #22 to the FTP. Enjoy.
-
And now I've uploaded a fiche scan of THRILLING #15 to the FTP. Grab it!
-
Thrilling 15 & 22 are up now. Thanks!
-
Improved versions of Pocket Comics# 1, 3 & 4 -- we now have a complete run of this comic!

These are re'ups...and I apologize to DM in advance -- these came from unpacked files that I had due to my not using CDisplay at the time I originally downloaded them, so if there was additional info packed in the original file it is lost to me.

Yvw, guys! It's been a long time since I've posted here, but you've enjoyed (I hope) a few things from me in the intervening time. Stay cool!
-
We certainly have!! Keep them coming, and don't be shy post a bit more on the forum as well:)
-
We shall try! I upped an update of GIGGLE COMICS I found on the Big Blog of Kids' Comics. After a couple of attempts, I'm glad it showed up here.

Hi DM,
sorry but I've just found that your single story labelled as from Justice Traps The Guilty #23 is not from that issue. The file names and GCD confirm it's from Headline 44 already on the site.
Staff might want to remove the file.

Just upped an edit of Narfstar's raws for FREDDY #26, which I hope is allowable.
-
And FREDDY #41.
-
Upped a couple of books which are both NMS, an ish of BLACK FURY and BILLY THE KID #21, both Charlton. Enjoy.
-
Thank you sir
-
YVW. Since then, I've been steadily uploading Charltons...check to see if they've been added yet.
-
Just uploaded a # of Fightin' titles to Charlton, which I hope you can use.
-
Hmmm. Are those last 2 Fightin' Armys too recent for the site?
-
Much too new nothing with a copyright past 1967 is PD
-
Thanks for taking them down, Narfstar.
-
We want to stay safe.
-
The latest is seven FIRST KISS issues, all of which are okay date-wise.
-
Uploaded a bunch more, the last of which was an ish of KID MONTANA. We'll start next time with LI'L GENIUS.
-
Thanks DM
First Kiss and Johnny Dynamite are not pd neither is Hercules as past 1967
-
Ah, didn't know. Have I uploaded Li'l Genius and Love Diary yet? Obviously not!
-
Hi yes sorry!
Very rude of me .. huge apologies. Waiting for Jim to resurface .. he is the expert on these. Ah whoops have just seen he has!
-
Added a few more. Are any of them out of bounds?
-
Can we tweak the title of MY LITTLE MARGE #40 to MY LITTLE MARGIE #40?
-
Already done :)
-
They all looked ok to me ... so I used my initiative!
-
Thanks for both. More to come!
-
Did more uploads, all with "Teen" in the title. More to come.
-
I have approved them. Jim may correct me on this ... but pre 1964 + no (c) look very safe.
-
Uploaded a bunch more, the last of which was an ish of KID MONTANA. We'll start next time with LI'L GENIUS.
more kid Montana please(morisi issues preferbably)
-
OK, now uploaded a batch of TEXAS RANGERS IN ACTION. Have at 'em!
-
Just uploaded 16 issues of WAR HEROES. That retires the side, until I do some more of Narfstar's raws.
-
Charlton are through 1967 because they did not start proper copyright notice until 1968
-
OK Cool you said that as I was about to check. I have been approving them on that basis.
-
Just added the 5 issues of BEANY AND CECIL plus the Four Colors we didn't have. None are my scans.
-
Hmmm. Can we not add the Beany and Cecil or Ben Casey books?
-
Anyway, I uploaded the 8 Ben Caseys and they're there if you want them.
-
Also uploaded TALES FROM THE TOMB #1 (1962) to Dell, possibly the scariest darn horror comic ever. Is this one okay?
-
The latest is all six issues of GERALD MCBOING-BOING AND THE NEARSIGHTED MR. MAGOO.
-
I'll hold off on the Dells till I see if they're okay.
-
Hold fire as Jim has been through these and when he's back we'll get an answer.
I think that they are NOT, so that is why I have left them!
-
I will double check but I don't think any of the Magoos were renewed
-
I had a feeling they were apart from the one we are have
-
Well, then, if they're not to be uploaded, seems the various empty slots you have reserved for them should be taken down. But see first if they aren't PD
-
I set up many of the slots hoping to carry all Dell's not renewed up to the end. We got note from Penny Press that they did not carry the comic book copyrights although they have the puzzle books. We have not heard back from Random House, who holds the GK copyrights if they have the Dells. I suspect that they do not but we can not be sure. That is the hold up.
-
OK. In the meantime, I uploaded some Aces and a Super Duck, so check 'em out.
ETA: Also posted a number of Ajax-Farrell additions which I hope we can use.
-
Thanks for upping the Dynamites. Now I've uploaded an ish of Don Winslow. Enjoy.
-
Thank you for all the great books
-
YVW. Glad I was able to add them!
-
Also was able to add a couple of edited Narfstar raws to the Charlton collection and found a few more books we didn't have, mostly in Harvey.
ETA: Added a few more Harveys today. Thanks for putting up the ones already loaded.
-
Found a Charlie Chan #5 and upped it. Don't have as much time today!
-
Did some MF Enterprises and a Tower today, iirc.
-
I did not see the Towers but love MF Cap Marvel and you saved me having to eventually scan mine. thanks
-
The Tower was FIGHT THE ENEMY #2.
-
Uploaded Stanley's BATTLE HEROES #2. They only published two color comic issues, and this was one of them.
-
Battle Stories are reprints of their earlier Key Comics features
-
Did it ever get added here?
-
It is now :)
-
Uploaded FIGHTING DANIEL BOONE, from an IW reprint and an added front cover, to Avon. Enjoy.
-
Just upped an issue of TEENAGE HOTRODDERS to the Charlton section. Narfstar scans, my edits.
-
And now it's TEEN-AGE LOVE #55, from Charlton. Narfstar's raws, my edits.
eta: Sorry I haven't gotten more up...it's been busy.
-
Also did an edit of TEEN-AGE LOVE #48 and posted it, from Narfstar's scans.
-
Uploaded another Narfstar edit, this one of TEXAS RANGERS IN ACTION #45.
-
thanks DM a lot of them really needed the help
-
thanks! Still have a few coming, and I've uploaded a complete version of BLUE BOLT V8 #4 based on 2 scans on the Digital Comic Museum.
-
For the final one of Narfstar's raw edits, we present TEXAS RANGERS IN ACTION #60.
ETA: Also found scans of a story from THE THING #7 online and upped them.
ETA: Also added a brace of WORLDS OF FEAR to its Fawcett folder.
-
Just added a couple of issues of POPULAR COMICS. I wanted to increase our Popularity.
-
Before I start carpet-uploading, are missing issues of Dell's GHOST STORIES allowed here?
-
We are sticking to pre 1964 until we find out others might be OK
-
OK, and just uploaded my scan of CRIME DOES NOT PAY #128.
-
Uploaded a couple of story scans by Glyphlover: Sparky Watts from BIG SHOT #47 and a Tex Ritter story from SIX-GUN HEROES.
-
thanks DM
-
Yvw.
-
One more Narfstar edit: CHEYENNE KID #46, from 1964. Enjoy.
ETA: Also BILLY THE KID #37 from 1962. Still enjoy.
-
Another Narfstar edit: BLACK FURY #41.
-
Finally found something more we don't have, I think: WEIRD MYSTERIES, from 1959. Enjoy.
-
Just uploaded an edited version of Narfstar's scan of CONFESSIONS OF THE LOVELORN #93. Some pretty good confessing there.
-
Thanks DM they were in bad need
-
Yvw, Narf. Now I've added 4 more issues to the PUNCH COMICS folder. Hope they're in the right place.
-
DM,
I deleted these as the late punch are in the Superior folder here, not the Chesler folder, also, #21 is not known to be scanned. It could also be 19.
-
Well, glad Mike Shayne and Mark Trail made it in, anyway!
-
Well, we did already have them
-
Just didn't know where they were.
-
Found a few Dell one-shots we didn't have and some of them appear to work!
-
Uploaded some more Dells to the folder, so let's hope you can use them.
-
Don't know when we'll run out of PD Four Colors to post, but we'll keep on till we do!
-
yeah
-
Uploaded BIG SHOT #85 tonight, which I hope you will enjoy.
-
I'm not much mentioning the "found" uploads I do here for two reasons: 1) they aren't my scans, and 2) lots of times, they turn out not to be PD. But I'm glad Colt .45 made the grade, and we'll see what other Dell Westerns do.
-
BIG SHOT #88, which is my scan, is now uploaded. Enjoy.
-
Also upped a Christmas Spirit section which I found on the web, and a Christmas giveaway from W. T. Grant. We'll see if the latter gets upped.
-
And it did :)
-
Thanks, Mark! Also, the info on Wagon Train should read issues #4-13.
-
Just upped BIG SHOT #74. Enjoy.
-
Just uploaded BIG SHOT #45 minus cf. Enjoy.
-
Approved, should appear shortly, thanks again.
-
Uploaded GREEN HORNET #43. Combo of my scans and Narfstar's, lacking inside covers. Enjoy.
-
Well, I've upped a few edits of Narfstar's raws lately...2 issues of LI'L GENIUS and one of TEENAGE HOTRODDERS. Should be showing up soon.
-
The latest is an ish of CHEYENNE KID. I'll be cooking up more raws when I find 'em.
-
Follow-up: the first of three FIGHTIN' ARMYs. Enjoy.
-
The latest is all six issues of GERALD MCBOING-BOING AND THE NEARSIGHTED MR. MAGOO.
Im not sure but all of Magoos copyrights = DreamWorks Classics (check the. Wiki), or maybe I am wrong. Let me know please…
