Hi A,
We are aware of which books are missing from DCM that are on GAC and working on a plan so don't worry about those yet.  
But if you spot anything besides those that aren't up here please do upload them.  Be a great guy and put the name of the scanner at the end of the file name would you?
ie - Blue Bolt v7 04 (no ads,txt)-bchat for example.
I'll then credit the original scanner as author and you as uploader.

Thanks!
-Yoc

Cough, I didn't really consider that before posting, I just assumed   ::)

If I'm not mistaken (always a distinct possibility), anything of this nature before 1923 is fair game.    I'll kill the posts if we find out they are bad juju.  The poor things were crumbling to pieces and have been repaired as possible.  I don't find them too thrilling, but they are a motley mix of elements, very experimental.  Newsprint this old is in bad shape and scarce, so I'm scanning them no matter what their status is, but I will remove them from the GA sites for sure if they aren't PD...

Thanks guys, wow, that IS a very nice cover!  This is the first time I've ever seen it.  Very playful.
I wonder did Baker ink it?  It seems a bit 'off' somehow for his own inking or am I way off base?
Title: Re: Darwination upload
Post by: JVJ (RIP) on July 26, 2010, 04:02:51 AM
my guess, from internal evidence is that Baker WAS the inker on this cover.

Teen-Age Temptations 003 (1953) (St. John) (JVJ-Two-Dar)

(http://i25.tinypic.com/xb050m.jpg)

Thanks to JVJ for letting us scan his fantastic collection and to Twobyfour for the raws, it is such a treat to read these comics!  All the stories deal with the choices teen-age girls make on the cusp of adulthood, usually between two men.  The first story with Mort Drucker art, "I Wanted Life Long Thrills," involves a girl going steady with a pilot who's away for long periods of time.  Enter an old beau who had left town without so much as a word.  They begin to fool around, cue the emotional rollercoaster.  An interesting ending, perhaps opposite of a typical resolution.  The second story, "The Kisses I Couldn't Forget," features some nice art from Ric Estrada and involves a crafty girl with the key to making men interested, learning their hobbies!  She works with a boy she's interested in on a new machine, but he's more interested in the machine than the girl, so she turns to some darkroom fun developing into a love triangle.  But the photographer's not getting played, he's the one doing the playing!  Thirdly, the gem of the bunch,  with story attributed to Dutch Dana by John Benson with art from Matt Baker, a somewhat scandalous ditty, I suppose, in which a girl lies about her age to marry her long-time beau who's headed for the service.  They marry and spend a night together, but the girl instantly confesses to her mother and the marriage is annulled. Her new reputation as a bad girl drives our heroine to lie about her age again, this time to enlist in the armed services and escape town.  A story of maturation and growth, I do have to agree that Dutch's stories really break the mold - I imagine teenage girls loved them.  And lastly, "To Young To Wed," in which a conniving lass behaves badly and is forgiven by her adoring man, you have to wonder where they found all these pushovers.  Great fun!  Again, thanks to JVJ for sharing these fine St. John romances with us.

Thanks Darwin.
That Baker story looked a bit 'off' to me as well.
Say, I don't see JVJ's index card in this one or the one before.  Were they missed?
Title: Re: Darwination upload
Post by: darwination on August 02, 2010, 03:25:34 PM
Hey Yoc, I believe Jim's index cards for the St. John Romance were the basis for the excellent index that is available here (and hence the reason Jim probably didn't include them for scanning):

http://www.fantagraphics.com/downloads/stjohnchecklist.xls

It lists:
TEEN-AGE TEMPTATIONS 3, August 1953. Cover: BAKER. Daring cover.
308A 8 S Drucker I Wanted Life-Long Thrills
308B 6 N ESTRADA The Kisses I Couldn't Forget
308C 8 D BAKER Without a Conscience
308D 7 S PEDDY/? Too Young to Wed

D would be a story that Benson associates with Dana Dutch, S would be stories with some elements of his style, and N are stories that Benson's categorized as generic and probably not from his pen.  This story looks like pure Baker to me, but I've been wrong on that count before and probably will be again.  I find his St. John stuff to be more distinctive and easier to identify than some of his earlier work, but, like I say, I've been wrong before....
Title: Re: Darwination upload
Post by: JVJ (RIP) on August 02, 2010, 03:57:44 PM
I'm not certain that I even sent cards on all of those St. John books, darwination, simply because of the on-line Fantagraphics list (which is basically my work). No need to repeat all that effort, I felt.

As for finding Baker's St. John "more distinctive and easier to identify" - that's simply because you've been lied to for decades as to what Baker's art looked like. Baker has always been better than most of the crud that has been attributed to him by unscrupulous dealers who would rather be rich than right.

You should trust yourself and your eyes, darwination, and you should not listen so hard to the "experts", Yoc.

Peace, Jim (|:{>
Title: Re: Darwination upload
Post by: John C on August 02, 2010, 04:32:51 PM
Maybe it's because I'm less interested in the artists than most fans, but even where they're somehow redundant, I have to admit that I enjoy seeing the cards.  In a process that often starts with an editor trying to weed out individual tendencies, moves through an unfeeling printing and distribution system, and then through scanners who try to extract themsevles from the process as much as possible (most of which, by the way, is to be applauded at how well it happens), the cards are an added human touch.

They're sort of the adult's version of a comic where someone has drawn a mustache on the female lead, I guess.

By the way, I love the cover's concern.  Makes the debate over the Arizona immigration law seem trivial, in a world where women need to prove they're married to wear a wedding ring.  Or maybe that's a railroad-themed singles bar, and those are two of the most aggressive drunks you're likely to meet--they'll shtare at her until she produches her papersh, or something...
Title: Re: Darwination upload
Post by: Yoc on August 02, 2010, 10:51:59 PM
Thanks for the StJohn checklist Darwin!
I'd heard Jim was working with them but haven't seen what they've got going on.

Jim, I'm just going on a gut feeling and the Baker in that issue didn't seem as smooth or robust as his other work.  Like perhaps a rushed job by him or his inker.

Glad you enjoyed it, Max.  I've got 6 of the first 7 issues of Rage, and I think maybe all but issue one have Baker art.  I'm not sure how many issues there were, but even seven is more than most suspect.  I'll be scanning the issues I have in order, and hopefully I can locate the issue I need in the meantime (tho I'm not counting on it).  Arnold's venture into sweat mags included at least one other title, Courage, which lasted 3 issues.  Vintage magazine scanner McCoy has scanned the first issue, and I might as well put it up here (thanks McCoy!) since we are talking about it.  8)  I'm not sure if he has any of the other issues, but I hope so.  If anybody knows of any other magazines Arnold was putting out at the time, please do let me know...

Pictorial Confessions 001 (1949.Canadian Edition)

(http://i51.tinypic.com/28vu8uw.jpg)

The first issue of the St. John romance title scanned from JVJ's collection by Twobyfour with edits from yours truly.  A fun romance comic here with much Matt Baker art.  The cover reminds me of my grandad's oft-repeated line - "I never laid a hand on the broad".

The comic kicks off with "I Threw Away My Reputation on a Worthless Love" which opens with the scene that inspired the cover (the cover came second right?) in which pops catches his daughter necking with the town scamp.  Some of these girls always seem to fall for these bad actors, and this guy is a real jerk.  An opportune moment for an art sample:
(http://i56.tinypic.com/dolxma.jpg)

Blondie is thick-headed, though, and she takes him back again and again.  Will she ever learn??  ::)

Next up is "My Double Life Caught Up with Me" wherein Jane accepts a ride from an older man in the "scandal set" after her bike blows a tire.  She takes an interest in this gent who has flunked out of school and returned home to freeload off his parents but quickly notices that her friends from school are castigating her for her involvement with this rich social set. Will the wolf feast upon the lamb? An interesting resolution...

The third story is " I Talked Myself into Love Troubles".  The splash:

(http://i56.tinypic.com/33mvjm8.jpg)

The story opens as the protagonist Kathy is ready to get into a catfight over her new beau.  She's only known the guy for a couple dates, so what's she's really upset about is the fact that, though she gets a lot of interest, every fella she sees runs off after a few dates.  You pick up quick on the reason why as she mistakenly throws herself at the next boy she meets, desperately hoping to snag a man through sex appeal.  She considers her reputation not until after he fails to call and worries that his gossipy sister put the word out.  Can love find a way?!?  I really like this one.

Last up is "Two-Timing Taught Me to Love," another one of these Dana Dutch stories of a girl ready to explore the world of older men and dancing and necking.  Not to mention willing to steal such an older man from her little sister.  The web of deceit grows wider as the protagonist lies to parents, more men, and her high school boyfriend who she is two and three and four timing.  What will happen when the weight of this tangled web comes crashing down? Ah, the drama of young love...

The issue is available at the ftp and here:
http://www.mediafire.com/?zk7dcgzllerl12v

Twobyfour has scanned the next two issues, and I will get to the edits as I am able.  Again, big thanks to JVJ for giving us access to his comics. I'm loving working on all of these great St. John titles.  :D

More St. John romance from the JVJ collection, woohoo!  Thanks to Twoby for the raws.  The copy was a pretty wavy, but I did what I could with it.  The cover ended up being a hybrid of Jim's cover (which was pretty rough) and a Heritage cover.  Another great cover from Matt Baker, although that conspicuously placed post bugs me...

Teen-Age Romances 016 (1951-06.St. John) (JVJ-Two-Dar)

(http://i51.tinypic.com/2v9vz8i.jpg)

Another fine romance for y'all today from the JVJ collection! An all-Baker issue.  Whew, Archer St. John sure kept him busy.  Per usual, a titillating cover, people are starting to talk!  As with many of the Baker covers, Baker tends to use some a small collection of distinct character types.  There's the judgmental bystander, short-haired and leaning back with hands in pockets, washing her hands of the situation paired with the surly and controlling brother, grabby and mean and on the verge of violence.  Then there's our heroine, the beautiful blonde, torn but following her heart, come what may with arm around the bad boy, not smug in facial expression as you might expect, although his body language certainly shows a laid-back arrogance you wouldn't really expect in this confrontation. A fully-set scene for certain placing the voyeuristic reader in the position where she (or he :)) might condemn the wayward lass as well as sympathize.

Within, there's the inside covers' story with a Baker spot illustration, "How I Found Romance," which seems to offer some strange advice on how to find romance.  

(http://i51.tinypic.com/14sgzya.jpg)

The comic leads with "I Was Scarred by Love!" regarding Karen whose boyfriend goes into the military with promises to be true but never returns a single letter. Soured completely by men, the heroine coldly turns down all offers for dates from the boys.  Her officer father suggests she get her mind off it by volunteering at the V.A. hospital helping injured boys back from Korea, and Karen reluctantly agrees.  Dutifully going about her work and spurning all advances from patients, Karen nonetheless begins to think about Ray, and her dad even gives her the green light:

(http://i55.tinypic.com/2mhzsav.jpg)

Can a girl scarred by love ever move on?!  Next up is "I Was a Cheat."  Watch out for this cutie, she looks like trouble!

(http://i55.tinypic.com/33uct5g.jpg)

Baker gets to put his sense for glamor on display as this little secretary tires of her boyfriend and hits the town with the upper-crust.  Will she ever come to her senses?! Then there's "What is Love?" in which Emily and Bob, longtime sweethearts, decide whether it's time to tell the world that they are in love.  But Emily has her doubts, and she shares few interests with Bob.  They seems to work it all out in very thoughtful manner...Next is "I Tried to Buy Love -- With Kisses" which begins when Muriel slaps Barbara down at a party for moving too fast with her little brother and turns out to be a thoughtful discussion on the role of necking in a healthy relationship.  Barb's parents are surprisingly open-minded on the subject, geez.  Last up is "Forbidden Fruit," the tastiest kind, I hear, a story of April's attraction to bad seed Ronnie, a man her older brother has forbidden her to see.  Her brother brings his friend Larry home for the weekend hoping to spark a romance, but April has a plan to use the situation to her advantage:

(http://i52.tinypic.com/qxt3rt.jpg)

Will the devious April get her comeuppance?  Or will some poor sap forgive all her transgressions? Hmm...

A fun issue, thanks as always to Jim for letting us scan his collection (and to all the donators that help shuttle the comics about) and to Twobyfour for providing the raw scans.

I'm betting Baker had some help on at least the first one.  I don't think it's his inking anyways.
It's nothing close to his best work.  The spot illustration is the best artwork the book but it's still a great scan and worth reading!

Our thanks to JVJ as always for sharing from his collection and allowing us to scan and preserve these for posterity!

The "&" in D&S will bugger the software we use to share it.  I renamed the file 'D+S' which ends up being 'D_S' when people download it.

I reuploaded the Teen-Age Romances 18 with a smaller cover, the new one is only about 2000x3000 instead of 4K x 6K.  It seems to have been the book jamming the auto- cover- thumbnail function.

Darwin, the AutoCoverThumbnail feature seems to choke on very large jpg covers.

Interesting Spirit section. 

I don't believe I've ever seen one of the Fred Guardineer Mr. Mystic stories before.

Quite different from Powell's take on the character.

I guess he only did it for a few months since, IIRC, the feature was dropped in 1944.

Thanks Beau but the cover is not the first file in the Preview.
Please be sure to either number the files at the front of all file names or that all file names are the same with numbers at the end.

Post by: darwination on February 10, 2012, 07:26:37 AM
OK.  I often insert an "a" before my cover image, I'll try and keep it uniform for my golden age scans.

Change the cover image name to "NewRomances10p01" and it should work fine.  Similarly, I put a zzz before a tag or in this case Jim's index cards.  I need to number those uniformly, too?

I think the problem in this case is that lower case "a" comes after upper case "N" in the sort order used by the Preview function. (Since it sorts in a case sensitive manner). Am I right, Yoc?

Yeah, it's a little out of register, though.  Liz sure was a cutie.

I'm trying to do a decent job on the photo covers, but I admit I don't get too crazy on the repair since it is a photograph. 

I'm trying to get into these Standard romances.  Many of the scripts don't really appeal to me, but I'm enjoying some of the art.

Here's a couple of issues of Capt. Billy's Whiz Bang from 1923 and 1924.  By the time of the first issue, Billy has started to add a bit of illustration.  By the time of the second issue, there are drawings and cartoons all over the magazine, and a photo insert has been added.  In the house ads, you can see Fawcett is diversifying with some new magazines.  True Confessions was a very successful attempt at getting into the True Story market that MacFadden had discovered, and Triple X was Fawcett's first venture into the pulp field.  In the second issue, the photo insert shows some ladies showing just a bit of leg and enjoying issues of the new pulp.

From the JVJ collection, thanks to Twobyfour for the raws.  Featuring "I Need Your Love" in which a proud tomboy can't find a date for the senior prom, wants to be kissed for the first time, and must outmaneuver her sister for the neighbor boy's affections.  Also, "Wrong Kind of Man" wherein a pair of fiancees face divergent career paths, she gets a promotion and he gets fired in a tough economy.  He can't find a job and postpones their marriage, unwilling to live on her capable salary.  He finds a job in AR and expects her to leave her career behind?  Can career and love co-exist?!  There's "My Silent Heart" in which a young swimmer gets clubbed over the head by a clumsy oarsman. Twice.  It must be love.  Lastly, "My Guilty Heart".  Maybe they could have changed the title a little more from the earlier story, hmm.   A whirlwind romance is too good to be true, as Jennifer can't stand living with her man's brain-damaged little brother that he looks after.  She demands the brother be sent to an institution, whoa.  Enter God's Wrath in the form of a tornado, can love find a way??  More stories of 50s anguishing romance within...

(http://i.imgur.com/i3QcP.jpg)Sample.  It looks like the opening to a horror movie but belongs to that most common formula from the love pulps and romance comics wherein a girl meets a dashing new suitor and must choose between an exciting new man and her humdrum steady.  Of course, the new guy usually turns out to be a real jerk...

Cover only!  Teen-Age Romance 042.  I grabbed a couple of the best JVJ Baker covers from Snard's share ten plus years ago and came across them during my recent return to scanning and couldn't help but work this one.

Get an easier look here:

https://www.flickr.com/photos/197841258@N07/52781149885/in/dateposted-public/
There's some other previously unshared Baker work from yours truly on that feed in the form of splash pages from the sweat magazines as well as a number of the covers I did for the JVJ project.

I'm also back up on the blog, covering mainly magazine material including the first publications of publishers that we would come to know well years later during the goldenage.

Like Harry Donenfeld's humble beginnings in the girlie pulps with naughty little magazines.  The foundation of what would become the DC empire:
Code: [Select]
http://darwinscans.blogspot.com/2023/03/joy-stories-v01n03-february-1930-worth.htmlIn the post following that post heavy on Worth Carnahan who we know from the comics as well (Champion Comics, Cyclone Comics, New York World's Fair Comics), I break down some misconceptions about the girlie pulps, not really naughty as you'd imagine but more in the vein of romantic comedy.

Or the first publication from what would eventually become Ziff-Davis, pulp, comic, and paperback publisher, later mulitimedia conglomerate, Ziff's Magazine (good cartoonists in here as well):
Code: [Select]
http://darwinscans.blogspot.com/2023/03/ziffs-magazine-september-1925.html
Yoc hit me up with our goldenage needs list, so I will keep an eye out when I go through my boxes.  Looking through my old scans, I'd forgotten how much I love golden age comics (especially the romances), so maybe I'll do a fresh one now and then even if I plan on working with mostly pulp and magazine material.

Hope everyone's well - just a brief look around has been fun - like Fett still scanning the hell out of the Charlton's, gotta love it.  The Golden Age was my first exposure to scans (long before I became a scanner) and the scanners here really set the bar in terms of dedication, hard work and camaraderie. The fact that a community of volunteer comic scanners have scanned almost the entire library of comics from the goldenage forward is pretty damn amazing - hopefully the pulp scanning community can mimic the achievement.
