Great work on this title Eric!

Two more on the way up:

Authentic Police Cases 37

This one is mostly for the completests; It's a reprint of APC 17 which we already have. It is a new Baker cover and a new text story, though; and the scans are from a copy of 37 if you want to dig in and look for other minor changes. In the more interesting category we have...

Authentic Police Cases 25

This is a 100 page Giant. Unfortunately, I damaged a couple of Jim's 100 pagers while scanning them and we've agreed that we aren't going to try again on any others. (All the APC 100 pagers are scanned; but this means I'll need to find other copies for the giants when Pictorial Romances comes up for scanning. Which it will fairly soon; lots of Matt Baker art means it's very high on my list. But I digress.) Anyway, despite the normal problems of scanning giants I think this one turned out quite well with the exception of a few pages; and even those are quite readable. Just a little blurry towards the gutter. The highlight here is a reprint of "The Case of the Winking Buddha". Although it's not listed on Jim's card, Overstreet lists the artist as Charles Raab. I don't know enough about him to say if that's an accurate attribution, but I thought I would at least mention it.

Thanks for all your work on these Authentic Police Cases Eric (and JVJ for the comics). They look great! I've got an ish of Alter Ego that confirms Charles Raab as the artist on The Case of the Winking Buddha and lists Manning Lee Stokes as the author. I guess this must be an excerpt? I've been keeping my eye out for a scanning copy of it. As far as damaging 100 pagers go, there's no doubt it's going to be hard to get them scanned. Besides the fact that they seem to be scarce and expensive, I can see how they would be hard to scan without damaging (though we've got some on site - thanks to those that have scanned em!). As a pulp scanner, I know how hard it can be to deal with fragile squarebound books so thanks guys for this one here. The plustek "edge" scanner can be a big help with squarebounds though it probably wouldn't work so well for these comics as the art looks like it goes all the way towards the spine. I guess the key for the giants is finding beater copies...

BTW I think HP was gracious enough to take care of one of the 100 page Pictorial Romances already

I think it may be the whole story, just cut up well. From what I've seen of It Rhymes with Lust, the art was drawn for smaller pages so there is notably fewer panels per page. It would be interesting to see the original to compare.

I wrote that article in A/E and yes, I can confirm that Raab and Stokes were the artist and author respectively.

The reprint of THE CASE OF THE WINKING BUDDHA that ran in APC #25 was a reworking of the original digest-sized book and not a panel-for-panel duplicate. The pages are cut up and rearranged, with some panels missing, to fit the larger format of the standard comic page. Still, it's a nice job and hardly affects the flow of the story.

While "BUDDHA" is a lesser known book than IT RHYMES WITH LUST, it's still a gem worth seeking out.

My Charlton Giant was not a problem. I tore it apart and put it through my autofeeder. The joys of buying books for only a couple of bucks

Murphy's law should now kick in and my stripped copy will be deemed extremely rare and worth $100 before I damaged it

The solution is obvious: We need to start a grading system that gives the advantage to books involved in preservation efforts. If people want to start sending me money, I'll be happy to send out appropriate certificates of authenticity. Ahem. Anybody?

Aw, c'mon, it's not like the business model for Overstreet or the CGC is any more sophisticated!

I use to wonder about Narfstar.
Then I discovered he would cut up his comics so they could more easily scan them.
I found a new appreciation of Narfstar's dedication that day.
Narfstar is now ok in my book.
Even if he still insists on sticking that bold purple logo of his on his scans.

I'm willing to damage my OWN books to scan them; there are at least a few where I've just popped the staples to scan them better. I'm just unhappy that I damaged JVJ's.

Ironically, I think I actually improved the one St. John 100 pager of my own I scanned a couple tenths of a point when I scanned it; the process took out a bit of the spine roll!

I'm unhappy, too, Eric, but we knew the job was dangerous when we took it. Not to worry, eh?

Authentic Police Cases 38 ready for download. Once again, not too special since it's a reprint of 18 for the most part. Still, a new Baker cover and several minor changes. Almost done with Authentic Police Cases; only one issue to scan and 3 to edit for the full run.

JonTheScanner · « **Reply #114 on:** March 02, 2009, 11:24:31 PM »

I'm really enjoying Authentic Police Cases, Eric. Hope you edit/scan those last four soon.

Jon

OtherEric · « **Reply #115 on:** March 03, 2009, 02:26:07 AM »

As quick as I can manage, Jon. By this weekend at the latest. In fact...

Now ready for download:

Authentic Police Cases 4 and 36.

The 36 is a near-complete reprint of 11, with a new cover but even the same text story as the original. 4 is the first scan from my second batch of JVJ's books; I'll finish up editing the giants in the next few days. They're a fair bit of work, though, compared to your average book. In any case, enjoy!

Great Job Eric!!

OtherEric · « **Reply #117 on:** March 06, 2009, 10:14:46 AM »

I've started editing the last few books from the first batch; they're some of the trickier ones from that lot. But I'm keeping busy while I work up the momentum to tackle them with some new books. (Cherry picking the easier to edit items.)

Jingle Jangle Comics 35 now ready for download.

OtherEric · « **Reply #118 on:** March 10, 2009, 06:36:50 PM »

Ghost Rider #2 (A-1 29) now ready for download!

Sadly, it's missing the last two interior pages. But other than that it's a wonderful collection of Ayers art with a Frazetta cover; with three complete stories even with the missing pages. Enjoy!

Yoc · « **Reply #119 on:** March 10, 2009, 09:44:55 PM »

ME's Ghost Rider - one of the first series I went looking for back issues for at my first regular comic shop- Queens Comics.
Nobody told me it wasn't a Marvel title though so I only got their reprints but it was still Ayers art that I fell in love with!

Many thanks to Eric and Jim for another trip down memory lane!

Authentic Police Cases 27 now available for download.

100 pages of fun starting with a Matt Baker cover!

Yoc · « **Reply #121 on:** March 12, 2009, 04:51:01 PM »

Wow, thanks Eric.
It must feel like time stands still scanning these huge books.
Just doing a 36pg book feels like forever - I can't imagine doing once of these phone books!

narfstar · « **Reply #122 on:** March 12, 2009, 08:11:23 PM »

And again I say get crappy condition books and an auto feed scanner my Charlton giant was a cinch.

OtherEric · « **Reply #123 on:** March 13, 2009, 09:33:11 AM »

And, by special request:

Weird Comics 3 (incomplete) is now ready for download.

For an exact score on what is complete and what isn't:

Sorceress of Zoom, Solar Plexis, Blast Bennett, Voodoo Man, and Bird Man are all complete.

Thor is missing the first 6 pages (of 12)
Dr. Mortal is missing the first 2 pages (of 6)
Typhon is missing the last 5 pages (of

The two page text story, one interior ad, the IFC, and the IBC are all completely gone; I was able to locate nice copies of the FC and BC.

Still well worth a look, I think.

Since I made the special request (actually 2 seperate requests) I most heartily commend all efforts to get this on the site! Many thanks to JVJ for including it in the package after OtherEric put his list up. And many thanks to OtherEric for pushing the scanning up to the top of his queue. I can rest easily at night now! Only one thing will still make me toss in my sleep: wondering how Thor ever go into the mess he gets himself out of in the last 6 pages... probably saving Glenda.

So,

anybody out there able to help me stop tossing all night long? (I seem to be on a roll making requests. What's one more?)

Thanks again,
