Trying to get back on track scanning, I'm right now rushing JVJ's books to get them back to him and they'll show up once I've got them edited.  This one is mine, however, and it's being with minimal editing:

Famous Funnies 210, no Buck Rogers.

A bug decided to eat the top of the book, and this one wasn't as nice as the one who chewed on the 216:  there's some slight panel damage.  It still looks pretty good, though, as the book is otherwise in exceptional condition:  If it wasn't Poor it would be VF easy!

I've got raw scans if anybody wants to try working on this; I think somebody more skilled than I in photoshop could really do some nice work on most of the pages.

Thanks Eric for it.

And it's been far, far too long since I posted.  Sorry about the delay; a very good friend of mine (not family but might as well be) passed away suddenly.  So that's eaten up far too much of my time the past few weeks.

However, I'm back on the wagon again, I've got one of JVJ's books on the scanner as I type (and am getting much closer to the bottom of the pile in general), and I've got some stuff that was scanned a while ago ready to go.

Adventure of Peter Wheat 22, 25, and 30, all by Walt Kelly!  This actually gives us a run from issues 20-30 complete (along with a damaged copy of 19), including the four part Fairy Queen storyline in issues 24-27.  Some absolutely astounding work by one of the all-time greats.  I'm convinced the main reason the story from 24-27 isn't regarded as one of the all-time classics is that almost nobody had the chance to see it before now. 

Special thanks to Yoc for his editing help on the #30, by the way.  There was a ugly stain across several pages that is gone entirely thanks to him.

WOW!! Thanks to Eric Peter Wheat 22, 25 and 30 are alive and well on DCM.
Run, don't walk and get them NOW on the download site!

Thanks Eric.

What a lovely way to return to the site Eric.
Just amazing stuff here folks - you owe it to yourself to see the master Walt Kelly doing some great, great work here!

My condolences to you on the loss of your good friend, Eric.


Once again I also offer my thanks to you (and all else who helped) in bringing us more wonderful Walt Kelly goodness.


Best

And it's been distressingly long since I've posted anything.  On the plus side, I've got JVJ's books back from Geo, and will move them on to somebody who WILL be able to get them scanned, unlike me and my horrible delays.

Meanwhile, I've got several books of my own to work on.  I'm scanning one right now, as it should require minimal editing and would be a good fit for today.

I'm sure it's for the best Eric.  And if we get to see more of you around the forums we're all the better for it.

And I went ahead and pushed through on a couple of my books since today seems to be the perfect day for them:

Target Western Romances 106 and 107 now both ready for download.

We have most of the run of Target Comics other than V1 on the site, but we've been missing this "epilogue" to the run until now.  Now we just need a copy of Flaming Western Romances 3 and we'll have the epilogue to the epilogue...

Thanks Eric, good to hear from you.

Thanks for the new scans Eric!

So, was going to pass on the JVJ books to somebody else to do, only there was a brief delay and some communication issues there.  Then I took a look at my situation an realized that the major reason I had dropped off from scanning so dramatically have by and large passed, and sat down to scan a few books.  A couple of the books I'm posting today were scanned a long time ago and just not edited (and in fact are now alternate versions of books somebody else posted) , but a couple are in fact just scanned the past few days.  We'll see what happens; if I can actually keep up the correct pace I'll just finish the box.  Otherwise I'll go ahead and ship them off to the alternate scanner.

Everybody else?  Just enjoy the books!

Dick Cole V1 N5 (our first Novelty issue of the series)

Humdinger V1 N4 (new scan)
Humdinger V1 N5 (new scan)
Humdinger V1 N6 (new to the site)
Humdinger V2 N1 (new to the site)

Thanks Eric!
That's making a nice splashy return.

And two more:

Humdinger V1 N3

Frisky Fables V5 N3

I have JVJ's copy of Humdinger V1 N1, but it's too brittle for me to scan without completely splitting the spine in two.   But enjoy the others!

Thanks Eric, good to see a upload from you.
