Hello everyone. This is your pal brigus who loves to scan comics from the period when there was more variety and a lot less spandex. I scan mostly westerns but horror, adventure, crime and teen are favourites as well. Yes, Canadians spell favourite with a "u" :)

I have a Hillman western I want to upload as soon as I figure out how to do that I will pass it on.

Welcome Brigus - we are the perfect site for you then!
We've got a lot of non-hero books up already.  Precode horror and crime are very big here.

Just take a look at the FAQ in yellow at the top of the page.  Uploading is covered in there. 
Questions 9 and 11 are most pertinent.
As long as your book is pre-1960 and not already on the site it should be good.

Then read the visual tutorial link here for detailed instructions.

I don't see it here brigus.   :-[

Please try again with a very small perhaps single page TEST.CBZ or TEST.ZIP file upload and make sure you see the correct messages at the very end -
The Green 'Information' bar with "Thankyou for adding this new file to our database.  The Admin has required that files are approved before they added to the database", etc message

Please be sure you follow step by step the tutorial - http://tinyurl.com/9xlrh6

Good luck,

Thanks B, it worked that time.
Just a note to please try and match the file names of any other books when you upload.
It's a small thing but it helps us mods when the match.
I've added a 0 to the volume number of your Western Fighters.

Thanks again for the share!
:)
