And after several hours of work...
The Patient, Target v2 n12, will need to stay in its protective sheets. But despite having lost all "collector" value, it has a long life ahead of it as a readable book in my collection, instead of a brittle "investment" that I can barely risk opening the cover on. (Although that very brittleness made it not cost very much at all for that particular book.)
The rest of you get a scan to enjoy; as is usual with Targets from this era the highlight is a Wolverton Spacehawk story. Enjoy!

They arrived today, and while some of them will require a LOT of work, some of them are super-easy to work with. (As an aside, it's amazing how much a little restoration can drop the cost of a book.)

Once you discover that reading the book is more important than "collecting" it, many cost-saving options arise, Eric - like the stick the brittle pages into sheet protectors. I don't recall how or when I stumbled across that approach, but it was a practical alternative to watching the pages disintegrate every time I wanted to refer to the book. Glad you can appreciate it, as it bespeaks well for your love of the medium.
--- Quote ---Target Comics v2 n3 ready for download. This one has TWO Spacehawk stories- in addition to the regular story, the text story features him as well. Wolverton gets the byline on it, and it's reasonably clever. Even if somebody ghosted the story the half-page illo is definitely Wolverton.
One thing I would like the experts to chime in on: The White Streak story has a Carl Burgos byline, but the GCD credits Emil Gershwin. I don't know enough about either artist to be sure, but the byline does not look like they're using Burgos as a house name- and the Streak looks a bit like the Human Torch to my eyes.

Probably another case of a GCD entry by someone who never saw the book in question. Most definitely NOT Gershwin (who will eventually be the subject of the next Alter Ego "The Great Unknowns" column - when Roy eventually finds space) and most assuredly IS Burgos. The wonderful plethora of spinning head speed lines is just one of many giveaways to the Burgos style.

While I normally am anxious to share my adventures in Paris, the first installment of this report is heavily slanted towards wine, so if you are at all interested in what I do while in Paris and like to look at empty wine bottles, click here:

More to come with less about wine and more about art and comics.

As long as we're looking at artist ID's, here's something BobS posted in the comment section for the Target v2 n4
BobS
Comment: I MOSTLY HIGHLY recommend this book for the Target and the Targeteers story and especially the art! Don't miss it! (George) "Inky" Roussos is a character in the story and it appears that Roussos inked the story (Bob Wood signed the art), or Roussos or Roussos and Robinson ghosted the art entirely. The art looks just like Batman art of the era, down to names written on building fronts and stock Batman poses. Way cool story!!! Bob
Any comment on that one, Jim? I have to admit it looks a lot like a Batman story from around then to me, as well.

Target Comics V02 N10 now ready for download.
This book was also brittle, but I had hopes of keeping it together through the scanning since it was, on the surface, better than the 2-12. No such luck, it was in slightly higher grade but worse actual shape. Still, scans were successfully obtained and I had the binder ready in case.
As usual with the early Targets, the highlight here is Spacehawk. Enjoy!
Yoc:
Also has a Mickey Spillane text story for those that read them.
Thanks Eric!
