It has been just about exactly 6 months since I uploaded some scans. Sorry about that, but I've been uber-busy with other work and I ran out of decent comics to scan.

However, I noticed that the file of Jo-Jo Congo King #22 (Fox) here at DCM is missing the inside cover, text story, and final ad page and IBC and BC. I have the comic (with a very crappy front cover not worth scanning), so I'll be uploading a CTC version of the issue with the missing pages inserted (if I can get the difference in scan resolution ironed out). Personally, I think that every scan ought to be CTC unless the comic used is physically missing pages. Not scanning ads or text just leaves that work for someone else to fill in. But then, that's just my opinion. YMMV

We would appreciate that, Poztron.  We can't complain when people upload the books without those pages; it's fully the choice of the original scanner what to share.  But in general the C2C version is preferable when possible!

True Eric.
And P, if your own copy looks like an upgrade on the current one feel free to do a c2c rescan if you have time and interest.

Thanks for thinking of us and welcome back.  :)

Thanks Poztron for the now c2c version of Jo-Jo Congo King #22.

I checked my copy against the one scanned, and I think that there is actually better color registration on the copy already scanned that I incorporated the new scans into than on my copy. Were I to rescan the comic, the main difference would be that I scan at 300dpi.

Thanks, Yoc... I've never really been away, of course. I've continued availing myself of new scans here (and all praise to the steady scanners). But finding time for full-comic scans has been tough and I've only checked in on the Forum now and then.

I need to go through my collection again and see if there are other holes to fill in on the archive here. I have lots of quirky odds and ends, as my main collecting of '40s and '50s comics was at a few comic cons decades ago where I concentrated on the 'dollar boxes' and ended up with interesting but marginal stuff in funky condition. For instance, I probably paid between $1 and $3 for my copy of Jo-Jo #22, because the cover had half its color pulled off (don't ask me how), half the pages were ready to fall out, it was rolled, and so on. But, the copy was still sufficient, some 40 years later, to furnish decent fill-in scans. I think it earned its modest price back and then some...

Just uploaded is For a Night of Love, an Avon one-shot from 1951 whose first story is based on an Emile Zola short story, of all things. This isn't exactly a romance comic in the usual vein, but an oddly French-themed comic with a cover painting of the sort that were on pulps and mass paperbacks of the era aimed at women readers. Some reasonably decent art inside, mostly free of romance comic cliches.

I'm uploading a zip file of fills for Chamber of Chills #8 (Harvey). I have numbered the pages according to their location in the comic if one counts the front cover as 01 and the back cover as 036. If someone more conversant in these matters than I could combine them with the incomplete .CBR of CoC #8 that is on DCM, the end result would be a C2C of the issue. I scanned the pages at the same resolution (150) and cropping size as the Karswell scans that are in the incomplete file to facilitate them all appearing at the same size. I used Clean Archiver to make the .zip, so even though I use a Mac, they should read alright.

Many thanks.

When I grab some more time, I also have Black Cat Mystery $45, Hot Rod #7 (all Powell!), and Flip #2, none of which are on DCM. If someone else has any of those in queue to scan, please let me know.

I just downloaded it and will be working on it to make it c2c.
I also use a Mac to so it won't be a problem, I'm looking them over as I post this.
I'm a little confused on the numbering when I looked it over on the two books, could you clear this up with a PM to me on them please, some pages are numbered the same. I figured out the pages 1-4, (standard Harvey page setup) and 35 and 36.
