Poztron's uploads

Hi P,
For the time being VIP is mostly for bragging rights.
There is the VIP section and the scanners lounge but they've been pretty darn quiet.
You do have FTP access for uploading but I hope you'll continue to use the Upload Link on the site.

OK, All-True Detective Cases #2 is uploaded. That's two this weekend, a rate that is not likely to happen again soon! 

The final story in the book is pretty tasty, though GCD indicates that it is a reprint from Avon's The Saint #6.

Going up shortly.
Thanks P!

That final story is by one of my favorite artists, Poz,
Warren Kremer (of Richie Rich fame).

The man COULD DRAW.

Peace, Jim (|:{>

Lovely stuff. Nice stylistic flourishes. Thanks for the ID! GCD ought to be informed... 

[Yoc]

Thanks for the info Jim, I've added it to the listing.

[darkmark (RIP)]

Wrong.  That's Warren Kremer of WENDY fame!!

Looked up Warren Kremer on GCD.  He did a LOT of styles and books didn't he?

Just uploaded scans of another Avon book, Sensational Police Cases #3. Nothing overly sensational about the issue, though the final story is delightfully wacky for a crime comic. Kinstler cover.

Thanks P.
Yeah, that last story was off the wall for a crime book.

That last story was a lot of fun thanks P

This is exactly why I didn't go to my high school prom, by the way.  You just can't trust dancers.

(Speaking of which, I'm not sure if I'm actually recommending anybody watch it, but if you don't mind that a lot of the plot...and dialogue, action, and acting are all implied, and you're within the permissible geographic distribution regions, one might wish to mosey on over to Hulu to investigate "The LXD."  It's not bad, but nor is it particularly compelling just yet.  An appearance by Sandy Quirk would improve things immeasurably, though...)

I just discovered that I have Black Magic #26 which in DCM's archive file is missing one story. I will upload the missing story and a different scan of the front cover. It'll probably be Friday or Saturday. The missing story is "The Sting of Scorpio" with art by S&K or at least pencils by Kirby.

If I upload scans of the issue's centerfold (which constitutes the missing 4-page story) can someone else figure out how to merge them into the present incomplete issue file? I can't quite wrap my mind around how to do so without entirely overhauling the present names of the other pages and renumbering all of them, etc. If someone else is willing to take on that editing task, I can supply the CF scans.

Also, has anyone else run into the phenomenon of scanning an issue as TIFs and then, when going back into the files in Photoshop in order to resize them and convert them into JPGs, discovering that 2 or 3 scans have somehow become damaged and have blue "noise" lines running horizontally across part of the image and have to be rescanned? Perhaps these creep in when I have to reboot after every 8 or 9 scans because my Mac freezes up. (This latter I blame on the HP multi-task scanner that I got during the ill-fated Carly Fiorina era when it seemed like HP hardware and software turned into cheap junk.)

Hi P,
Upload your BM26 page fills as normal and I can merge them but include exactly where they belong in the book in the description area.

I can help out with merging but if all you are worried about in the existing file names - worry not.
Rename the existing files to fit whatever format you like to use, just please be sure the final merged scans and yours result in the book being in proper order.


When merging with another person's scans, as long as the scans themselves have been untouched the file names can be anything you like.  And when the final c2c book is posted a full credit to the original scanner is proper etiquette.

I'm not sure what is going on with your TIFF files.  I generally keep each page as a PSD file until I'm ready to export.  It takes up a lot more room but sometimes you don't catch a problem until you are in the final export stage and want to go back to fix it.  And I agree, my HP scanner is the pits!

Good luck,
