Thanks bchat.
Not to sound like I'm complaining, we love the books you've been sharing but I'm looking at this one now and I see the scans are smaller than your others.  I can add this as-is but if you had larger I think they would be welcomed.

I like to scan pages at 200% and shrink them so a page is 1000 pixels x whatever for sharing at a jpg.

Let me know what to do (there's a hanging curveball for somebody),

That reminds me (non-seasonally, alas) of the not-for-mixed-company story of how the angel ended up atop the Christmas tree.  It involves an overworked Santa and said angel asking a very similar question.

Yoc - You're right.  Looking at it again, I goofed and resized the pages smaller than I usually do.  I could re-edit & re-upload, but that's going to take time I just don't have right now.  It takes me over an hour via dial-up to upload a comic, and that's before taking the time to resize the scans.  I can do it BUT I can't guarantee when that would happen.  I am usually, quite literally, doing about three things at the same time most days, are there are other "projects" I'm working on/planning to do/need to get done.  So maybe you could just add it "as is" and we can replace the file at a later date.

Being stuck on dial-up... I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy.
Certainly I'll add the book right now.

You deserve some karma for scanning and sharing this way!
Thanks!

I think that Archiver said he had the complete run of Blue Beetle. So he might be able to help out with larger scans of #38 if he gets to that issue down the road.

Looking forward to the scanned Clue Comics #5, bchat! (sorry it smells like a cat box though)

RE-Uploaded to the FTP: Blue Beetle 38 cover-to-cover from Fox (again).  This time, the pages are the size I normally use (about 730x1000 or thereabouts).

Regarding Clue Comics 5:  I have the Zippo, Micro-Face, Twilight and text stories completely scanned.  The next time I handle the book (not sure when but I'ld like to get to it soon) I plan on finishing-up the Jackie Law and Stupid Manny stories.  All of that work would replace the fiche scans, leaving only the Boy King & Twilight stories for me to replace.  MY QUESTION:  Would you guys prefer I wait until everything is done (including BK & Twilight), or just upload my paper scans once I'm done with JL & SM, adding the others whenever I get them scanned?

Personally, I'd prefer that you waited until everything was complete. By the way, there's a Nightmare and Sleepy story in this issue, isn't there? (my favorite strip in the book)  :)

Hi BChat,
whatever you decide is fine though there is some logic in waiting until you are complete done.

Whoops!  I meant to type that I've scanned Zippo, Micro-Face, the text story and NIGHTMARE ("The Crooked Nine and The diamond Robberies"), not Twilight.

And yeah, I figured most people would prefer I'ld wait until completely done, but as much as I'ld like Clue Comics to have been finished three months ago, dealing with the smell is simply a huge turn-off.  Every time I've been scanning stuff over the last few weeks (nothing GAC related) I think about trying to finish Clue but then remember how much of a pain it is dealing with the allergic reaction I get.  I want to keep my handling time to a minimum so I'm that not torturing myself, which means it'll be a while before it's completely done.

Uploaded to the FTP:  Golden Lad 4 (no ifc,ibc, or bc).  Also, I noticed that Blue Beetle 38 with larger scans hasn't been moved yet.

Thanks very much bchat!
Both were renamed to match the site name scheme for each (always nice when you can match ours but fixeable by mods when not) and now up on the site!

Happy to do it!  I was glad that it didn't cost me an arm & a leg to get my hands on it, and the personal benefit is that I never have to handle it again.

Uploaded to FTP:  Phantom Lady 17 - incomplete.  File only contains "The Stinging Whip" plus a cover image taken from Heritage.  This isn't my scan but something I stumbled upon while surfing the 'net.  Image quality is kind of poor but it's better than nothing.

Uploaded to FTP:   Phantom Lady 4 from Ajax, incomplete (one story only).  Another "not my scans" that I found online with a cover added from somewhere else.

I've also opened a "4shared" account containing most of the files I've uploaded to GAC (http://www.4shared.com/dir/30094199/25578b8e/sharing.html) just in case the site goes down again and someone wants to download some stuff.
