Hi Narf,
I'd suggest you look at bchat's scans and your book and decide if a scan of yours would be a big improvement or not. If not I wouldn't worry about it.
Fox and Superior must have had a bet on who could print the most off-register comics and still turn a profit!

If nobody minds, I'll keep updating the "Coming Soon" section every time I upload something. That way, if someone sees a comic they're scanning or getting ready to scan, they can let me know. I don't want to take work away from anyone but I'm happy to help add to the collection, too.

Sounds like a great idea BC!
I wish Freddyfly would do that - I've got two issues of Fantastic Comics fiche (14+15) to edit and I don't want to waste my time on them if he's going to be posting paper.

Most of the stuff that I have no one else is likely to have

Uploaded to the FTP: Heroic Comics 28 - complete C2C.

Coming Soon: Target Comics vol 9 num 2 (almost done scanning), 4 Most Comics vol 6 num 5, 4 Most Comics vol 5 num 1, Blue Beetle 36 and The Beyond 14 from Ace.

Also, I should be getting Clue Comics # 5 soon. I noticed the file GAC has for this is a mix of fiche & paper. I never downloaded that file, so I don't know which parts are fiche or how blurry they look. If you guys want, I can scan the parts of the book that are currently fiche, just let me know what might need replacing or if the file is fine as is.

Thanks BC! Adding your scan shortly.
I just checked my file for Clue Comics 5. Only 24pgs are from paper and the scans are quite small and heavily cropped. If we could talk you into a c2c scan that would be great.
FYI the paper stories are Boy King and Twilight.

Thanks again,
-Yoc

I have no problem providing the site with a C2C scan of Clue Comics 5 since I was planning on scanning it anyway. It's something I do with all my GA books [not that I have a ton of 'em] so they don't get over-handled. The only problem with the copy I have is that the bottom corner looks to have been chewed on, but luckily it doesn't interfere with the artwork at all [must have been a very conscientious mouse].

By the way: Is it safe to assume that uploading directly to the FTP is the reason why my User CP shows "0 Uploaded"? It's not a big deal, just wondering.

Hi BC,
Hmm, I imagine you're right. If you wanted you could try a direct upload ([UPLOAD] link of site) but remember to check the tutorial I made on it - avoid .cbr uploads, etc and see if you user CP changes. I've never even looked at mine. Let me know if your CP is affected.

Looking forward to the goodies you've got in store for everyone!

Looking forward to your uploads.

After the crash my uploads showed zero forever. I checked it after your message and it now works. Do not know the whys or whaterver.

krankyboy · « **Reply #35 on:** March 29, 2009, 02:12:11 AM »

I'm dying to see a c2c paper scan of Clue Comics #5 as well. It has my favorite Nightmare and Sleepy story in it.

Yoc · « **Reply #36 on:** March 29, 2009, 03:11:03 AM »

Yep, that original Nightmare costume was a great look that still would work today.
What the heck they were thinking changing it to that lame second one I'll never figure out!

bchat · « **Reply #37 on:** March 29, 2009, 03:54:17 AM »

You mean you don't like the "Batman ears" and "N" on his chest? Man, that costume is AWESOME!!!

Just kidding. The first costume is absolutely perfect for a character named "Nightmare". My guess as to why they changed the costume is they wanted to have him look more like Batman OR make him more "kid friendly". Whatever the reason, it's a shame they didn't make him more "Horror-oriented" as he's perfect for that genre.

narfstar · « **Reply #38 on:** March 29, 2009, 04:02:26 AM »

Instead of a Batman and Robin imitation they might have had a unique hit of their own.

Yoc · « **Reply #39 on:** March 29, 2009, 04:34:26 AM »

The second Nightmare costume is darn similar to The Black Owl from Prize Comics!
Neither anything to write home about.

bchat · « **Reply #40 on:** March 29, 2009, 04:49:10 AM »

I look at Nightmare as a being a character ahead of his time. Had he appeared five or six years later, he might have been a huge hit.

And the Black Owl's costume isn't THAT bad. No, wait, maybe it is, although I always felt that part of a costume's appeal has been the artist drawing it. A "bad artist" can make a cool costume look horrible.

Yoc · « **Reply #41 on:** March 29, 2009, 06:14:02 PM »

Absolutely BC. He was so far ahead they had to pull him back.
Costume=bad, unoriginal in any way.
Artist=not bad
