Well, I just tried uploading elsewhere, but it looks like the GAC/CB+ site has a slightly lower filesize limit than DCM. So I guess this'll remain a DCM exclusive until I have a chance to split up the archive or downsample some of the pages.

Kevin,
I'm not sure why your upload did not go through at CB+. Narfstar today uploaded a scan of the 132 page ACG comic Hi-Jinx which, at 90.41 MB, was actually a little larger than your file for All Good Comics (89.78 MB).
Could you give it another try?
Best
Joe

Hopefully, if enough other people have different copies of this issue, we can eventually replace the damaged pages from my copy and combine our scans into a "clean" complete copy of the book.

Hi Kevin. Are you familiar with the Heritage auction site? (http://comics.ha.com) If you create a login there (which is free), you can search their archived auctions section for high resolution cover scans. There are several auctions there for All Good (1944) that include a decent back cover scan. Actually, I've already grabbed one, which I can forward to you for future inclusion if you get other fill pages, if you'd prefer that.

(Also... depending on how much extra scanning work anyone wants to do, there's probably a third of the pages in my copy have art that runs right up to the edge of the gutter. I don't know if it's just my copy that has that problem, or if it was widespread throughout the print run. But even with the off-center margins, the stories still seem to be readable.)

It depends on how much you 'love' your copy of this book... but if you were willing to remove the staples, you could probably press those pages a bit flatter to get scans of the inside margins. (Disclaimer: I haven't seen this book up close, so I don't know if the staples are the reason for the tight inside margins. But I have seen this on other books that I've scanned)

Heritage does want a credit card # but I've been a 'member' for years and never any problem.

Thanks for the suggestion. I've considered doing that for a couple other comics I have, but this particular copy is an odd combination of staples, glued spine, and really brittle pages. I think the damage I would cause to the pages while trying to take this one apart would be worse for the scans than if I just left the art bleeding to the edge of the gutters.
