Ger Apeldoorn asking about future scans

(1/5) > >>

Ger Apeldoorn:
Hi,

I'm highjacking just any post to ask if there is any place I can find to see who is doing what at the moment. I havea lot of random comics that ere nog yet included here, but they all take soemt time because I am scanning alongside my writig job at the computer. And then I have to clean up, straighten, make a bundle, upload... and the speed Ithings are going here, I am afraid I might be scanning tuff that is already in the works.

To make things concrete, since I am using a lot of Mort Meskin material on my blog (Westerner #19 anyone?) I want to start scanning issues of Justice Traps The Guity and Headline not yet available here. Do I claim them beforehand...?

Hi Ger,
I've split your post off into it's own topic to avoid confusion.

It might be a good idea to ask here on the forum if anyone is scanning a book before you start it.
Make it a new topic with the title name and number in the subject to get the most attention.

As far as I know the only people scanning Prize right now are BuilderBoy using JVJ books and Carl from time to time.

BBoy has the following books which will eventually all be scanned and shared - some already are on the site.
    PRIZE COMICS   21, 22, 23
    TREASURE COMICS   1-6
    JUSTICE TRAPS THE GUILTY   1-32
    BLACK MAGIC   1-4, 6

Carl (fan777) also sends out email updates occasionally to let fellow scanners know what books are being bid on by whom and what books are on different scanners 'to-do' lists.  We can add you to the list if you'd like to get these updates as well.

Let me know if you do and I'll pass along your email address you registered with to Carl or you can send me a private message (little word balloon under my avatar) or email (the envelope under my avatar) directly.

I forgot to mention -
there's not rule against having more than one version of any single comic on the site so any effort you make isn't wasted as far as we are concerned.  I'm sure you'd rather scan a book that's never been scanned before but if you should find you'd done a book already on the site please feel free to upload it anyways as a 'different version'.
Who knows, your copy might be in better shape or more complete than the one we already have.  And we only have a fiche scan of something you own we especially would welcome a paper version from you.

Ger Apeldoorn:
Thanks! You can ad me to the mail list. I am in a very busy period workwise, so I am glad to hear JTTG 1-32 are already being processed I had already started scannning the Mort Mesking stories from the first isues upwards. I will now start doing books from the latest backwards. t will take at least a month for me to get anything really going, but that way I run the least chance of doing stuff that has already been done. I may even switch and start with Headline, if as it seems that book is not as well represented.

In the futue I can look and pick odd books that are missing. I have Tormented #1, all Mad imitation books, lots of Harvey Romances ans all sorts of weird stuff from the fifties.

And as for creating doubles. I want to deliver scans that are complete (including ads), slightly repaired (water damage removed, for instance) and straight. So that takes some time. In which case I prefer to do new books, although I get your point.

And how about the Humorama books? I think there should be a site doing all of them. The wealth of material in there is just stunning.

Hi Ger,
Sure, I'll pass along your email to Carl.  He's mainly trying to avoid bidding wars on books, especially as we get close to finishing Fiction House runs.  BuilderBoy is part of the group.

Tormented 1 might already be on the site if it's the same book - check here -

I don't think anyone is doing Harvey Romances atm.

I'm not sure of the public domain status of Humorama.  Best hold off on those until we've checked.

If you've got anything that we've got incomplete versions of - feel free to download ours and add the missing pages and uploading a c2c version.  We've got a lot of incomplete books that need help if you can provide any.

Always feel free to post here or contact me directly if you have any questions.
