On another topic, are any of the scanners of JVJ's stuff planning on doing any pre-code horror (other than the St. John stuff)?

I'd like to see some, and it looks like there are other fans here too.
I offered to do it myself, but looks like JVJ has his hands full. I am still willing to do it, but may not be the best person.

I am not very discriminating in my scans. As long as I can read them, that's OK with me. I also like them small so as to not take up too much space (yes, DVDs are cheap, but they are also bulky and I'd rather have 10 of them sitting around than 100). On the flip side, I do them pretty quickly.
Having some one else do them would be better but if no one else is planning on it then any scan would be better than nothing.

I am also very interested in getting JVJ's index cards for the pre-code horror stuff, even the stuff that's already on the site (as long as the art credits haven't already been added to GCD).

I would be happy to index all this stuff for GCD. I have even thought about creating a pre-code horror guide and posting it on the web somehwere (something like the Terrology book that was mentioned in Tales Too Terrible to Tell but never published - only this one would be made available free of charge).

If someone else is scanning any pre-code horror, I'd love to see any of it, but at the top of my list is the Ajax stuff (though JVJ only has 4 that are unscanned), Mysterious Adventures, Web of Mystery, the remaining Harvey stuff, and Beware Terror Tales 8. Also wouldn't mind seeing Mysterious Traveler as it is generally pretty expensive when it shows up on E-bay.

Hi Astrp3,
I believe Jim has mentioned he feels he's at the max number of scanners he's comfortable with right now.
My suggestion would be to let those scanners (OtherEric,Geo,JonTheScanner,Narfstar) know which comics you were particularly interested in seeing scanned and perhaps make a donation to the JVJ Postage Fund thread.  I'm betting a scanner who sees someone willing to help cover some of the costs involved would be willing to include some of your choices in their next batch of books from Jim.  I know my own campaign to see Yellowjacket Comics #9 and Blazing Comics #1 worked out fine.  :)

A HUGE thank-you for all the fine scans you've been uploading - Wonderful, ghastly stuff!  But please use your name in the Author section so we know who to thanks Ok?  I'll change it for the books you just added.
:D

I'd be happy to cover the shipping and other expenses if someone agreed to scan some of the stuff I want.
How about this. If the scanner will agree to add say, my top 25 choices to their next batch or two (dividing them up however they want, mixing them in with others etc), I'll contribute $100 to the fund.

If that sounds OK, let me know and I will pick out 25.

That sounds very fair to me!
I believe OtherEric will likely be in contact but if others are willing to help out with your 25 I'm sure this could work out for everyone just fine.  :)

How about you post your top25 list here?

Oh say, now all those precode horror books you've been so nice to upload the last while - are they all your scans?  I've seen some show up on the Horrors of It All blog run by Karswell.  It's a wonderful blog I've been enjoying for the last year or so.  Just curious as I like to keep track for my own records.

Take care,
-Yoc
