I now see these new scanners that are on a pedestal that point down and take a digital shot of the comic book.
Some even have "auto flattening" software.
Any of these any good?
I use an overhead scanner, as Yoc has mentioned - the Mintolta PS5000c. I bought it for a pretty penny years ago. I see one up on ebay for around $500 now. Those are great overhead scanners, but require a computer to operate (windows), and requires you to run a 32 bit environment. Minolta has not upgraded the drivers for 64 bit for the ps5000c series. the ps7000c if you can find them, can run in full 64 bit glory.
As for those "new" pedestal based scanners - I've experimented with a couple - the adage "you get what you pay for" is never more truer than here. they're crap.
I don't know about the $500 Fujitsu Snapscan SV600 overhead scanner. Never checked this one out, so I will reserve judgment.
For good cheap scans, stay with a good quality flatbed scanner, unless you're ready to jump feetfirst into the $500+ territory and try those overheads.
