krankyboy - Glad you appreciate the Clue 12. I really like Nightmare, and even though he appears in his later, lesser costume, I was still happy to get that issue and share it with everyone.

Nightmare is absolutely one of my favorite heroes from the Golden Age. His original costume is fantastic -- far better than the updated super suit they gave him after the first several issues. But I'm glad to have as many stories with Nightmare and Sleepy as I can (and paper scans are always a plus). And I really appreciate that you scanned Clue 12 for us. I can still remember the problems you had with Clue 5 (which features my favorite Nightmare & Sleepy story) smelling like a cat box. Yuck.
I had no problems with Clue Comics #12, by the way. I used stuffit expander, and everything came out fine.

I use ComicRack to organize & read comics, and for some reason, to be able to read your scans, I need to batch change the picture files from jpg to jpg ???
Don't know what are different with your jpeg's from the other scanners on this site, but at least ComicRack have problems with them.

Thanks for responding. It's always helpful to know exactly what problems people are having so that I can address them if possible. There's something I am going to try with future scans that may address this issue.

Yes, issue 12 was much better to deal with than issue 5 was. I wish Hillman had stuck with the original costume for Nightmare's entire run. Maybe the change was due to the artist getting tired of drawing all the bones on the costume, in which case they should have just tweaked it a little bit rather than changing it altogether.
And thanks for letting me know that Clue 12 worked alright for you, and which program you use. The more I know, the better chance I have of figuring-out what's going wrong on my end.

It would've been nice if they'd at least kept Nightmare's skull mask, at least. Oh well. Perhaps that was one of the things that hastened the strip's eventual demise, which is a shame.
Twilight had a unique costume as well in Clue Comics. Can't remember there being too many other superheroes with a long-haired mullet in the forties. ;)
