Fantabulous!

Since Eric is going to be giving us some Eastern files I found some Club 16 and Heroic that needed fixed from the crash awhile back. I think all of our Eastern's are good now. If anyone finds a bad let me know.

Thanks for the Personal Love scans, guys. I love the curves on the Frazetta girls

OtherEric · « **Reply #253 on:** September 16, 2009, 11:24:53 PM »

There's only one way to follow up a post like that, Darwin:

Personal Love 27 now ready for download; 8 page Frazetta story. Enjoy!

I don't suppose anybody has 28 or 32 they could scan? Both of those have Frazetta stories as well. (I'll get the issues with one Frazetta page later from JVJ, but he doesn't have those two.)

Two more from Eastern, courtesy of JVJ:

Buster Crabbe 10

Tales from the Great Book 3

I find the Tales from the Great Book really interesting for reasons not tied to the contents; although they do a very good job of making Bible stories interesting. It seems to me that lots of biblical adaptations take what can be fascinating and exciting source material and work hard to maximize the boredom factor, this one doesn't. Which probably helps explain why the strip it's reprinting lasted so long.

Back to my point: The issue has two panorama oriented pages. I went ahead and posted them sideways in the cbz; but I did debate briefly. It's hardly unique, but it's unusual for older books like this. The book has a wraparound cover; this is not unique either but once again it's definitely unusual. I wonder if the book was at least partly subsidized by some religious group, or at least if they got large orders of the book from such groups. There are no ads at all; which may be even rarer than the wraparound cover! And, maybe it's just me, but there's something amusing about the text feature in a very early code-approved book being on Sodom and Gomorrah!

Anyway, enjoy the books!

Wonderful work Eric, just getting these now and loving what I see so far!
Thanks for the extra large Frazetta pages too.

Dover the Bird 1 now ready for download.

An odd little funny animal one-shot from near the end of Eastern's days as a publisher. No Carlton, but some of the other Jingle Jangle staff contribute. Not sure if it was meant to be an ongoing, or what: There were no text pages, which is very unusual for a GA book and suggests they didn't think it was worth offering subscriptions.

narfstar · « **Reply #257 on:** September 18, 2009, 10:54:16 AM »

They may have known the end was near and used up inventory they had already paid for

Yoc · « **Reply #258 on:** September 18, 2009, 03:41:00 PM »

Inventory seems likely yeah. Thanks for the scans Eric.

OtherEric · « **Reply #259 on:** September 18, 2009, 05:52:26 PM »

Inventory seemed likely to me; only there are at least two stories in there that look to be "origin stories" as far as they go. And none of the features are left over from Jingle Jangle that I can tell. I don't know of another Eastern book for them to be inventory FROM is what makes that seem odd.

Yoc · « **Reply #260 on:** September 18, 2009, 06:08:56 PM »

Perhaps they might have just been extra origins for characters they didn't figure worthy of a second story?

OtherEric · « **Reply #261 on:** September 20, 2009, 07:56:23 AM »

And here's the last Buster Crabbe from JVJ and me, unless we find copies of 5 or 6:

Buster Crabbe 11 ready for download.

Highlight here is a story by H. G. Peters; it's interesting to see him draw something other than Wonder Woman. And amusing to count how many photo of Buster Crabbe he had for reference.

OtherEric · « **Reply #262 on:** September 22, 2009, 01:02:32 AM »

Future World #1 now ready for download. JVJ has this labeled as Eastern, so I'm putting it there. Not 100% sure why he has it labeled as such, though. I also have issue two on loan and will be upgrading our scans unless Narfstar takes offense.

A bit of an oddball book, but quite interesting as a period piece. Enjoy!

narfstar · « **Reply #263 on:** September 22, 2009, 01:08:25 AM »

OF course I am offended...that you would have to ask. My scans are always available for upgrade. I just put up cheyenne Kid 11 and Headline 76 and would welcome them to be straightened. I get things up as fast as I can so I can move on to another or something else.

OtherEric · « **Reply #264 on:** September 22, 2009, 02:02:24 AM »

Just checking, Narf. Some people react badly, but since your scans were digital camera I thought it deserved a new scan.

narfstar · « **Reply #265 on:** September 22, 2009, 10:35:55 AM »

And of course I was not actually offended cause I know you are that kinda polite guy Eric. Everyone is glad I stopped using digital camera and have even upgraded some of my own to scans. In general my scans are just put up as they come off the scanner. I still have many more to scan for here and especially Charltons which may not go here but are still pd. I figure that everyone can not supply the books that I have to scan but anyone can edit them or get them edited. So my time is better spent cranking out as many as I can.

Famous Funnies 192 now ready for download thanks to JVJ!

While this is a non- Buck Rogers issue, it does feature a story with "Barney Carr, Space Detective". Any similarity to Buck seems to be purely intentional.

A personal note: Counting the Phantom Lady 19 and 22 that Yoc is still working on, this is my 200th book scanned and posted to GAC. At the risk of sounding immodest, I think that's a pretty good job so far. Huge thanks for JVJ for providing raw material so I can keep scanning!

Yoc · « **Reply #267 on:** September 29, 2009, 04:43:06 AM »

Wow, congrats Eric!
Karma for the big news.

rez · « **Reply #268 on:** September 29, 2009, 08:35:22 PM »

Yes, that is a slew of books. Eric, really appreciate the time you put into these.

OtherEric · « **Reply #269 on:** October 02, 2009, 11:25:14 PM »

Movie Love 8 ready for download. The highlight here is a six page Williamson/ Frazetta piece.

I know I've said this before, but I'll say it again: Even if you don't like romance comics, look at this and the issues of Personal Love I've posted. Frazetta is one of the most insanely gifted artists ever to work in comics. (The story in this issue is more readable but less artistically impressive than the Personal Loves; it's a bio of William Holden. Still very much worth a look.)

Yoc · « **Reply #270 on:** October 03, 2009, 12:04:55 AM »

Thanks Eric, I've been enjoying your Frazetta stuff for a while.
A lot of the Personal Love stories were reprinted in B&W a little while back to really show off his skills. But it's also nice to see them in colour along with the rest of the books.

OtherEric · « **Reply #271 on:** October 16, 2009, 04:33:41 AM »

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

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

Yoc · « **Reply #272 on:** October 16, 2009, 05:00:26 AM »

Eric, if you upload it via the UPLOAD FILE link in theory it should automatically be added to the site without needing to use the Admin area to add it.

-Yoc

OtherEric · « **Reply #273 on:** October 16, 2009, 05:20:41 AM »

Yes, but that would kick it to the "unsorted and small press" area, and I wouldn't be able to move it into place. I'll do that if the login problems persist a day or two, but for now it seems like putting it on the FTP was the better choice. And doesn't an admin normally need to approve files from "guest user"?

Yoc · « **Reply #274 on:** October 16, 2009, 03:52:41 PM »

No no, you can choose which folder it goes into just like normal.
Admins and Mods have the privilege of their files being added automatically.
It's about the only perk to being a mod.
