And somebody left the Fawcett on again!

Fawcett's Funny Animals 77 uploaded to the FTP

I find this one fascinating in its own way.  No Marvel Bunny as such, but Hoppy is still in there, just not super-powered.  An interesting turn of events.

And another one for you:

Master Comics 121 uploaded to the FTP

Enjoy!

[Yoc]

Thanks Eric, both are now up.
Let's keep the Fawcett running!

[OtherEric]

And something that comes at the very late end of what we'll allow on this site, but we have at least one slightly later issue:

Black Cat Mystic 60 uploaded to the FTP.  Lots of S&K goodness in this one.

I have a copy of Black Cat Mystery 39, as well- the only SOTI-mentioned book I own.  But when I posted my original list of what I had way back when, I was told it had already been scanned.  But it's not on the site, and I can rescan it if need be.

[OtherEric]

Next: something I had already promised; luckily the book was good to scan when I got it.

All Top 17 uploaded to the FTP.  Last Fox Phantom Lady.

[OtherEric]

And, All Top 15 uploaded to the FTP.  Which gives us the complete run of Phantom Lady in All Top; we're still missing the funny animal issues and the last issue.

I would have felt a lot more like a show-off if Archiver USA hadn't put up the other issues last week; at least I didn't buy the issues and have them posted while I was waiting for them to be delivered.

[Yoc]

Excellent work Eric!
Expect these up shortly gang.

[OtherEric]

Ok, how does some Simon & Kirby sound right now?

Now up

Who could complain about S&K thanks Eric

[OtherEric]

And, something from the depths of my collection:

Sparkling Stars 11 uploaded to the FTP.

I know one guy out there that will want that for sure.
Thanks Eric!

[narfstar]

Thanks Eric I used your scans to index SS 11 for the GCd

[OtherEric]

Glad to see somebody liked it; judging from the prices it commands this seems to be one of the all time least in demand titles from the 40's. 

[narfstar]

Which is why I have two different issues. There are many "overlooked" GA comics. SS happens to be a true anthology with no superheroes. No big name artists either that I know of.

[John C]

Zaro is superhero-ish, I think.  And it's a surprisingly engrossing strip, too, in case Eric thinks nobody reads this stuff.

[OtherEric]

I figured somebody would enjoy it; even if I find it more _interesting_ than entertaining, as such.  I suspect the book lasted as long as it did thanks in part to people seeing the page count and figuring it was good value rather than a dedicated fan base, though.  It was 64 pages for a dime all the way to the last issue in early 1948 when some books were already down to 32.  A fat, cheap book would appeal to parents buying for their kids, I suspect.

[OtherEric]

And another one for everybody:

Criminals on the Run v4 n06 uploaded to the FTP

[Yoc]

Thanks Eric, now up!

[OtherEric]

Here's some more early Pogo for everybody:

Animal Comics 11 uploaded to the FTP.

I know Jon has all but issue 1 on his "to do eventually" list, but since Animal is one of the few titles I'm trying to put together for myself even if I have access to scans, I'll keep adding them as I get new issues.  (16 is on the way to me as well).

[Yoc]

Thanks Eric, always lovely to see more early Pogo! 

[JonTheScanner]

Eric feel free to scan any issues you think (know) I might have.  It would literally have taken me years to get to them all and now it's only worse (in the nicest of ways) with JVJ's comics.

[OtherEric]

I figured as much, Jon.  I was just mentioning that Animal Comics was an exception to my current normal policy, which is to focus on buying books that we need to find to scan.

I would _really_ love to find a copy of #1, though.  If anybody spots a copy at any price, let me know- I haven't seen any at all online.  (If it's more than $250 or so I would need to work out a brief payment plan, but it's worth trying to dicker if I can even find one for sale.)

[JonTheScanner]

Rest assured, Eric, the remaining Animals, Fairy Tale Parades and Our Gangs are high on my list of to-scan.  As well as looking for Animal #1 I need Our Gang #7 and 8. 

I suspect that the Our Gang Comics (or at least the stories) are in public domain since the recent Fantagraphics books show no copyright other than their own.

[OtherEric]

I'll keep my eyes open for the Our Gang 7 and 8; the only issues I have are 34-36.  Even if they are PD (and I suspect they are if Fantagraphics didn't have a notice) I don't know if they would be allowed here.  The problem probably wouldn't be the Our Gang stories themselves, but the Tom & Jerry.  (The first 50 or so Our Gang films are PD; I'm not sure exactly how that helps our case but I know it does.  It means the underlying concepts established in those films are PD as well.  Trademark is, of course, a separate issue.)
