Congratulations to everyone involved on one of the most fantastic comics related sites I've found. I stumbled across it while browsing and am delighted I did. I am a 60 year old comic book lover from central Illinois, USA (land of corn, soybeans, and constant arguments between Cubs and Cardinals fans) and can remember trading some of these titles in the mid fifties. I've made a small donation to show my appreciation for the site and will try to continue to do so monthly.

One quick question. Is there a glossary to some of the abbreviations found in the scan listings, for example, what does 2c2 mean? Again thanks to everybody for a great resource.

Welcome Paul!


C2C means Cover-2-Cover.  A complete book ads and all.
You might also see 'fiche' and 'digital camera.'  These are scans not taken by the usual method of placing a comic on a scanner.  Fiche scans are taken from a microfiche source and while readable they are pale cousins of the real thing and only used as place holders until a 'real' scan can replace them.
Digital camera scans are the domain of Narfstar.  He's found it faster and less damaging to his comics to take pictures of the pages.  Again these aren't as nice looking as a normal scan but they are readable and give you a taste of the book.

IFC is inside front cover and IBC would be the inside back cover.

I believe that should cover most of them for you.

Enjoy the goodies!

Welcom Palooka,

There are a bunch of Charlton fans here.  Scans of those are harder to come by than those of some of the otehr publishers becuse CHarlton had such poor distribution.

Welcome aboard,

Jon
