DCM Download Site > What you can upload
Silver Age Charlton?
Yoc:
It's a complicated issue that both GAC and DCM have wrestled with for ages Denny.
GAC will share them DCM is still undecided. It's not a cut and dry question at all.
Besides legalities there's also the possible misleading impression that ALL SA books might be welcome once you start sharing any.

The "continuity of publishing" and all that stuff.

With the Charlton titles yes, especially as most would be PD, but the same rules do not apply to all the other publishers, and even some individual Charlton comics are not PD. Initially I never checked the status on any of the 1960's comics and would like a chance to get set up and check what we have before opening any floodgates. If John C agrees the Silver age Charlton's are OK we will at least continue the series we have so we can host a complete set.

It would be nice to know if anything from Prize was ever renewed. Their whole run is probably pd nice to include Cool Cat and a few romance that went past 1960 if OK.
aussie500:
No Narf the Prize comics are not OK, we have already had problems with even some GA Prize comics not being PD because they were owned by the artist rather than the publisher so we will not be uploading any new titles done by Prize till they are all checked and noted in the section which ones are safe. There is not big rush, we have not sorted out what we have yet, the future can wait a bit longer.
