tilliban and the German collectors uploads

[Yoc]

Sundancetrance has added another scan today -
Strange Fantasy 006 (no ads).

One of our members mentions this book is missing the 5th page of the story "Death on Ice".
Is there any chance of adding that?

[tilliban]

You see?
It's like an avalanche going down.
I recruited "sundancetrance" and now he is trying to get a third crazy german to share his collection.
Hopefully this thread will soon be named "Crazy germans uploads".
Working on it:
Till & Will
(aka "tilliban" & "sundancetrance")

sorry no chance. These are older scans of a book I only owned for a couple of days.
Therefore another one today: Tomb of Terror # 13 c2c   enjoy !

Ok, thanks Sun.  No harm in asking.
And thanks very much for the latest - a c2c scan as well.  We encourage c2c scans when at all possible.

Take care,

Yoc, Your asking is welcome. It's a pity that I didn't checked the scans while I had the book. Same goes for the ads and text story. That was 2 years ago and i had a very slow scanner which means a boring long time scanning one whole book.  This won't happen again, scanning books of my own collection using an new higher quality/speed- scanner. I prefer c2c too. Nearly all of my books are complete, just a very few are coverless or/and have missing centerfolds. I checked the DCM scans which are incomplete and will add some missing pages from books I have in my collection.
The next book is already scanned and will coming up soon. It's an incomplete one, missing both, Cover and CF. Crummy, but all comic-stories are complete. After that much nicer scans will coming up soon :-)

Hi Sun,
If you need covers I strongly recommend joining HERITAGE AUCTIONS and searching their archives section.  Thousands of front and back covers scanned at high resolutions too.

"Tomb of Terror" #13 is a very entertaining book to judge by the first two stories (I'll finish it later tonight). Interesting that it is a science-fiction change of pace issue. I can't help but wonder if it wasn't a test to see how well a collection of Science-fiction/space stories would sell for Harvey. Obviously, Harvey's change of direction to material for younger children as the result of the coming Comics Code would have squelched that idea.

My turn again to post something.
It's...

HAND OF FATE #13

Haven't read it yet, but there seem to be really nice stories from Streeter, K. Rice, Zansky and probably Sekowsky (JVJ has to confirm).
Low grade comic books like this are perfect scanner fodder.
They actually look better when digitalized.

For what it's worth the final story in the issue ("Fate's Final Scoop") looks like Sekowsky pencils to me.

Best

Joe

Thanks, josemas.

I'll be meeting Jim Vadeboncoeur, Jr. (aka JVJ) next week to spot ACE artists.
Will then be indexing all ACE horror comic books on Grand Comics Database.
(work has begun already)
Your input is welcome.
Maybe I'll contact you concerning stories which we cannot decide upon...
Can tell you more via PM if you're interested.

Hi T,
If you want you can start a new Ace Horror Artists Spotting topic on the forum or use PM's as you suggested.

Have fun with Jim!

It's up to me again. My Pre-code of the week is another one from Harvey:

CHAMBER OF CHILLS # 16

Have fun, he,he...

[Yoc]

oh sneaky message SDT.  Now up!
And how about that cover?  I suspect it might have looked more like the toc image but they chickened out.

Thanks very much for the share SDT!  
You've been bumped to VIP status.  Congrats!

 That "Cycle of Horror" cover story is genuinely ghastly, and exactly the sort of thing that Dr. Werthem was trying to warn my parents about not long before the Comics Code sanitized American comic books. I had only the vaguest of recollections of that particular story, which I still think about as "the one where the rats eat the man." Having a chance to re-read it and see what I remembered and what I didn't was very interesting, perhaps even theraputic. That's the second horror story you've posted from a Harvey comic which I remembered reading when I was quite young, and it is becoming harder to associate that part of the company's history with Little Lotta, Hot Stuff, Little Dot, Richie Rich and so on. Thanks for unearthing those books.

I have those kind of memories from the old 70s gore filled Eerie Publications, Skywald and Stanley magazines Jon.  And I've been collecting scans of them for the same reasons.  Today my memories have less of the gore than what was really there.
