Is anybody going to upload more Airboy books? Also what Airboy comics from the 80's contained reprints?

These things go in cycles T.M.
As far as I know what we have is everything out there for now.

Sorry, I can't help with the reprints info.  Perhaps another member here can tell you.

Thanks Yoc. Also, I'm having trouble viewing several Airboy comics. My computer doesn't recognize the file passage, it's different from the normal passages I see on the site, do you know of a program that would allow me to view them?

Hi TM,
Most likely you are having problems with files that were semi-buggered up by the crash we had last March.
You can tell which files were affected by the fact they are all listed as uploaded on "1-March-2008 5:08 pm"

For example I just tried to download Airboy Comics v03 09 fiche.  When I clicked on the Download link the file name that was showing was "9".  Obviously this is NOT a proper name for the file.  So when you find this happening you need to RENAME the download file.  In this case I would change it to 'Airboyv3No9.cbz' and then save it.  You can rename it before or after downloading the file just be sure to know where you are saving it to and to change the File type to CBZ.

You'll find there are quite a few problem files like this sprinkled into the site.  Sadly there is no easy fix.
I hope that helps.

I used to own the first 25 issues of the 80's Airboy .As far as i remember there were no golden age reprints.But the same company(eclipse) had a reprint series called air fighters which featured iron ace,sky wolf,black angel etc..it ran for 6 issues and you can probably buy em for a song on ebay.
