KaineZ's uploads

[KaineZ]

Hi guys!  I just registered with the site today and I've got quite a back load of public domain comics to scan for you that don't appear to have already been scanned.

I just uploaded Famous Funnies 46 (minus Buck Rogers).  I've also got the complete issue no. 99 scanned as well that I'll upload after I make sure issue 46 works.  It looks like the issue 99 posted here is only for the Fearless Flint pages.

After that I've still got another 7 or 8 Famous Funnies on hand that have not been scanned, but those will have to wait until next weekend when I return from a business trip.

I've got plenty of horror and scifi that I'll check to see if it needs posting as well, but here lately I've been digging on Famous Funnies so I might stick with that for a while.  My brother has quite a stash that I can dig through for more!

Great, KaineZ!  Looking forward to them.

Welcome to the fold KaineZ!   
Your Famous Funnies is now up on the site.  Feel free to upgrade issue 99!

It's always great when a new scanner shows up!
We've got a topic here 'COMICS STILL NEEDED FOR SCANNING' that lists what is missing or incomplete on the site that movielover keeps updated - http://digitalcomicmuseum.com/forum/index.php/topic,4081.0.html  It might help you figure out what is needed for the site a little easier.  But I'd suggest to Always check on the site before starting a new scan.

Btw, if you find yourself looking at a scan and you know your copy is in better shape or superior printing don't hesitate to do a new scan.  We have no rules against alternate or different versions of the same book.

If you have any questions feel free to contact me or use the Contact Us link and I can get back to you.

Good luck with the scanning!

Mescal Ike

Going up now.

Jeez!
You got "plenty of horror"??!
My heart missed a beat there.
I'm a hunter-gatherer-scanner of missing pre-code horror.
Sounds like a big relief for my purse...
It would be fabulous if you could make a list of your horror books - so I can concentrate on (still) missing issues!

[KaineZ]

Looks like most of the horror books I have are already scanned.  Everything I have on tap for the next little while will be Famous Funnies and related like Big Chief Wahoo, Buz Sawyer, Steve Roper and a little scifi.  I didn't do an exhaustive search though so there could be some horror that I have.  Admittedly though virtually everything is EC so there wouldn't be much I could post anyway.

[KaineZ]

Forgot to mention that I am grabbing some stuff from auction sites so if you want me to look at horror let me know what we need.  If the covers are interesting then I'll consider picking up some 

[Yoc]

Will do!
You might want to post on the eBay pointers topic.  I'd hate to see you in a bidding war with freddyfly or rangerhouse for a book.

Hi K,
There's no rule against more than one scan per a book.  If your copy is better than ours Please Do scan it someday.

I've already found some that I want to rescan so that's already a consideration for me.  Right now I'm using ComicConnect for comic auctions.  You can make counter offers on everything there (unlike eBay) and they have a MUCH wider selection of comics in various conditions depending on what you can afford.

[Yoc]

Interesting.
I know freddyfly recommends Metropolis because they have a reasonable return policy when he's found books purchased were missing pages or more pages than advertised.

[KaineZ]

I just looked at Metropolis.  Nice looking site and their selection looks comparable to the variety I found on ComicConnect.  I'll compare the two next time I go to buy.

Speaking of missing pages....I just finished scanning Famous Funnies #66 tonight and noticed it had 2 pages torn out.  They just happen to be the Buck Rogers pages so for the purposes here no big loss I guess....
