Does anyone out there have any of these? I absolutely need them for research purposes (for my BH series, featuring Skyman). Doesn't have to be all of them, although if that were to happen, AWESOME. But as many as anyone can find.

I just need scans of the Skyman stories, not the whole issue.

I know someone out there must have some of these issues. Please, help a guy out.

Nobody? Well, that bites.

Yoc · « **Reply #2 on:** January 09, 2009, 04:57:13 PM »

Sorry BH, none have been scanned AFAIK.

Ya, sometimes one just has to hold out in the hope that someone who reads here might have what one needs. Hope you get the Spyman copies for you work. Hang in there.

Sometimes you get lucky.

Are ya feelin' lucky?
Well, are ya...

I've got a copy of #82, BH,
Get one of the JVJ scanners (Geo, Jon the Scanner, Narfstar or OtherEric) to request it in their next round of books. Best I can do.

Peace, Jim (|:{>

I've got a fair number of them, but I can't remember how many off hand. Just guessing, I'd say I probably have half or a little more. I was working on a CD of them a few years ago to sell through my site. I'll check and let you know how many I have in the next few days. Scanning all of the Big Shot issues all at once would get tiring, but I should be able to scan the Skyman stories to make them available and act as placeholders until the full issues can be scanned.

Great to hear from you Eric.
Looking forward to anything you felt worth scanning.

srca1941 · « **Reply #7 on:** February 25, 2009, 03:26:59 AM »

I have more than I thought:

#69 - Skyman story only
#70 - Skyman story only
#72
#73
#74 - Skyman story only
#75 - Skyman story only
#76
#78
#80
#81 - Skyman story only
#82
#83
#84
#85
#86
#87
#89
#90 - Skyman story only
#94

Once I get these scanned and posted, then we just need 7 more:

#71
#77
#79
#88
#91
#92
#93

Not bad...not bad at all.

-Eric

BountyHunter · « **Reply #8 on:** March 21, 2009, 07:53:58 PM »

Yes please.

I need this story for research for my BH book. Anything you could scan would be great. All I need is the Skyman stories.

BountyHunter · « **Reply #9 on:** May 24, 2009, 12:50:04 AM »

I am sad.

Yoc · « **Reply #10 on:** May 24, 2009, 01:50:32 AM »

Eric is a busy guy BH.
Perhaps someday down the road he might get to these.

BountyHunter · « **Reply #11 on:** May 30, 2009, 09:04:07 AM »

Yeah, I know. I was just being silly.

The Monster Society of Evil Serial in Captain Marvel Adventures has 25 parts. Is this the longest Golden Age Comic book Serial ever?

OtherEric · « **Reply #13 on:** June 09, 2009, 04:28:55 PM »

It certainly generally gets credit as the longest GA serial ever; but I think that it probably depends in part on what you actually consider a "serial". This thread started as a discussion of the "Skyman in Space" 26-parter, which would beat the Monster Society by one part. But I haven't seen the Skyman story/stories and don't know if it qualifies as a serial, or just happens to be a bunch of issues where the character goes to space. Even if it does count as a serial; the page count may be lower than the Monster Society story.

Luckily, we have the entire Monster Society serial on the site; it's in Captain Marvel Adventures 22-46. Some of the issues are fiche, however. (I know a lot of people dislike fiche; but as I've said before the distance from 1 to 10 in scan quality is not nearly as big as the distance from 0 to 1. Go Darkmark and the other fiche scanners!)

darkmark · « **Reply #14 on:** June 09, 2009, 07:18:38 PM »

Thanks, Eric. I replace my own scans with paper ones when they become available. But having a fiche scan is better than having NO scan. ;-)

John C · « **Reply #15 on:** June 09, 2009, 11:20:52 PM »

For what it's worth (which is thankfully not much, as long as the scanners are enjoying themselves), I agree. I'd much rather have even the worst of the fiche scans handy than wait years until someone finds a paper copy that's good enough to scan but not so good that it's too precious to scan.

Not that I'm unappreciative of the remarkable "cleaned up" fiche scans, or don't want people to keep looking for those paper copies, but the fact that some of this material is available at ALL is great to begin with. Anything past that...only to the extent that it's entertaining should it be a priority. Well, that, and how frequently you expect to reread it, since the muddier scans will give one a headache.

Dr. Mindshadow · « **Reply #16 on:** June 10, 2009, 12:15:32 AM »

Have some of the Skyman issues been uploaded? The Monster Society of Evil is great so far.

BountyHunter · « **Reply #17 on:** June 10, 2009, 01:27:25 PM »

Not yet.

crimsoncrusader · « **Reply #18 on:** June 26, 2009, 08:03:35 PM »

I have a complete Big Shot #69. I'll try and scan it as soon as possible.

narfstar · « **Reply #19 on:** June 26, 2009, 08:53:25 PM »

thanks crimson you will make bountyhounter happy

BountyHunter · « **Reply #20 on:** June 28, 2009, 11:02:40 PM »

Yes, you will. One part is better then no parts. lol I'll keep my eyes open for it.

And, really, I only need the Skyman story. If you wanna scan the whole issue, awesome, but I'll be happy with just the one story.

Thanks.

crimsoncrusader · « **Reply #21 on:** June 30, 2009, 08:44:10 PM »

Trying to upload Big Shot 69 right now. Hopefully it will be done soon.
Update - I added comic. Now I'm just waiting for approval. However I could not get it to go in the correct category, so maybe someone can move it out of unsorted files.

Yoc · « **Reply #22 on:** June 30, 2009, 09:24:48 PM »

Looking forward to this CC.
You might consider a small test upload of say a page or two as a cbz to make sure you have the procedure figured out.
If you see 'CONFIRM' at the bottom of the page at the end click it. There is a visual tutorial for uploading linked in the FAQ.

Good luck!

narfstar · « **Reply #23 on:** July 01, 2009, 01:56:39 AM »

Don't worry Crimson all first time uploads go into unsorted. When Yoc moves you to VIP status you will be able to put things in their proper place. Thanks for Big Shot and glad to welcome another scanner.

BountyHunter · « **Reply #24 on:** July 01, 2009, 01:56:23 PM »
