Thanks for the reupload Eric.  If you or any other scanners still want to include an extra large cover on their uploads please just add a normal sized version FIRST so our Auto Cover Thumbnail feature doesn't crash choking on a massive cover.

For some reason, if I edit a cover in paint (as I did on this one), when I save that and then put it through photoshop the auto resize frequently fails.  While I will upload larger versions on occasion, I didn't mean to do it on this one.

If you want to see what I did to edit it, compare to the version on Thom's Blog:

If nothing else, it's interesting to see how two different editors tackle the same page.

And real life has been getting in the way, but Adventures of Peter Wheat #21 is now ready for download.  And I'm working on more of JVJ's books again after a delay.


Excellent!!! Some Walt Kelly goodness to finish off the week with!

Thanks

Joe

Some of you may have been wondering why I was worrying about what to do with an issue of Famous Funnies with a Buck Rogers cover over in another thread.  Some of you may have even guessed...

Famous Funnies #216 now ready for download, minus the Buck Rogers pages.

The reason I could afford this book was some bug in the past decided to nibble on the lower right corner of the book.  He was a quite polite bug, though, and while he frequently hit the panel borders on all but 4 pages he stopped before he was all the way through.  A very narrow strip, about 3 inches by 1/2 inch. And while I had to edit the cover slightly- and failed to quite accurately recreate the one finger on Buck that was damaged- that's the cover of my copy in the scan, not a grab from heritage.  The damage is admittedly non-trivial, but it really doesn't detract from the general beauty of the cover.  And it gets us a good scan of a very hard to obtain book.  For an almost embarassingly low cost to me.

Enjoy the book, I'm off to just stare at the cover some more.  For all that I've seen reproductions of the Frazetta covers for years, they don't do justice to the original.

Thanks Eric, a Frazetta book cover is always welcome.

Heading briefly back to Famous Funnies, here's a preview of what will eventually be a whole-book scan (minus Buck Rogers, of course):  Famous Funnies 103, Fearless Flint only, now ready for download.

 Enjoyed the Fearless Flint chapter and I look forward to the rest of the book (minus Buck Rogers, of course).

Good news.  I'm well back onto the scanning wagon, and hope to get quite a few JVJ books up over the next few weeks so I can get them back to him.  First, though, one more from my own collection:

Adventures of Peter Wheat #38 now ready for download.

I've got 3 Kelly issues waiting in the wings, as well.  But Thom from Whirled of Kelly has plans for at least some of the scans, so they might take a while to make it here.  They'll be worth the wait, though.  Meanwhile, enjoy Del Connell and Al Hubbard as they deliver a story about a Mushroom Village that seems to have been created under the influence of one of the more interesting types of mushrooms...  ;D
