Happy FIRST B-Day gang! Post #2 - Our Anniversary Presents!
krankyboy:
Admittedly, I was pretty excited -- and you guys did not disappoint in the slightest. I'm having a blast reading and re-reading these issues -- never would have thought when I got up this morning that I'd be reading a new Black Terror issue, Yankee Comics #2, and a couple of Targets before the end of the day.
But what's crazy is how greedy this site makes you. Now I'm already thinking, "Wow, I hope that someone manages to track down the rest of the Harry Chesler Dynamic Comics issues so we can get a complete run." (and that's going to be a pretty tall order) It's like a kid opening his gifts for Christmas and wondering what he's going to get for his birthday by mid-afternoon. ^-^
Anyway, you guys did a terrific job. And I love this place. :)

Thanks KB. *blush*
I can't say if Chesler will happen but the run of Targets seems very possible.
And we are getting close to complete on a lot of the FH titles!
OtherEric:
Target v1 is going to be an uphill climb at best. As for the rest, we've got a LOT on the way and I'll hopefully be getting some more even beyond the JVJ issues soon.

Yeah, I just don't know if getting a full run on Chesler's Dynamic is terribly realistic. Thanks to the scanners, we've got complete or nearly complete copies of the later issues, but it's been almost non-existent where paper copies of issues 2-12 are concerned. I can only imagine how rare they must be. Admittedly, my tastes favor Golden Age superheroes and can get a little eclectic. So having all the stories with Dynamic Man, for instance, or Yankee Boy are important to me personally.
Still, as you point out, Target seems like it could be in the cards, along with a dozen other titles (Black Terror, The Eagle, Jumbo Comics, Fighting Yank, etc) on DCM. JVJ has a lot of Prize issues, so that seems possible, not to mention Blue Beetle, which is one of my all-time favorites. :)
OtherEric:
I think the problem on Target will be the v1 n7, with the Spacehawk Cover. We've got the first couple of issues, so nothing is impossible, that's for sure. And I finally realized one reason I like it so much: It's the closest thing to a Timely series we can post here in a lot of ways. The early issues were by the Jaquet (sp?) shop, which also did the early Marvel Mysteries. Then later issues feature quite a few artists who also did notable work at Timely. Maybe JVJ could elaborate on the connections better than I could.
