The last 3 Treasure Chest Comics allowed on DCM plus upgrade notes

[comicwanderer]

Volume 5 Issues 1, 7 & 19 have been uploaded! These are the last three Treasure Chest Comics needed to have the complete series on DCM!!!! (at least for the allowed comics in the series)

The following issues could use upgrading of some pages to improve the overall readability of the comic. Anyone who has hard copies and wants to scan the pages in question and upgrade the CBZ file please do so. Should you need a little help to do this you can post here or message me.

Volume 1 Issue #4 – Pages 2, 3, 31 & 32 require upgrading
Volume 2 Issue #1 – Pages 1 to 6 requires upgrading. Pages 15 & 16 & 22-31 have tears that do not impact story but could use upgrading
Volume 2 Issue #2 – Pages 32 & 32 require upgrading
Volume 2 Issue #3 – Pages 1 & 2 could use upgrading and Pages 20, 21 and 22 require upgrading
Volume 2 Issue #17 – Page 29 requires upgrading
Volume 5 Issue #19 – Pages 18, 19, 26, 27, 28, 30 & 31 require upgrading. I had to do a lot of cropping to clean up the scans. Rescanning the whole comic may be the better option.
Volume 7 Issue 2 – Pages 18 & 19 require upgrading
Volume 7 Issue 4 – Pages 18 & 19 require upgrading
Volume 7 Issue 6 – Pages 18 & 19 require upgrading
Volume 7 Issue 11 – Pages 18 & 19 require upgrading
Volume 8 Issue 11– Pages 18, 19, 20 & 21 require upgrading

Happy reading all.

Got your message CW - I will try to get the missing pages/rescans you asked for at the LoC in the next few weeks.  Just making sure of your page count system, when you say Page 1, that means the cover, correct?  I use Page 1 to refer to cover and page 36 to refer to the back cover, for a 36 page issue, so the centerfold spread would be pages 18-19.

Let me know if this is the same numbering schema you follow.

Hello Soothsayr

Yes, page 1 is the outside front cover (OFC) and many of the issues are with the page 18/19 (centerfold).

I looked at the LoC site and there appears to be two TC collections, a bound set and a set that is the individual comics. The main reason most of these pages from the University Archives have issues is they were scanned from bound copies that cut off parts of the page at the center. My guess is you can save yourself the time and not look at the bound copies.

Thanks for checking into the LoC.

I took another look at the LoC site and not all the issues are available as individual comics. If you think the pages from the bound copies are worthwhile go for it.

Here is a break down that may be of some help.

Hi guys. I was wondering too if any were having problems with any download. I have tried to convert V14#8 into a pdf via Calibre but it keeps failing. I like to read my books in pdf form as they flow better in just scrolling down instead of "page, click, page, click...etc" I tried cbz, cbr + zip. None will convert. Am I doing something wrong? Below is the string from Calibre.
Tks Netasha.

(p.s. I hope this is the area to post this) Convert book 1 of 1 (Treasure Chest v14 008-p (Dec 18 1958)) Resolved conversion options calibre version: 2.7.0 {'asciiize': False,

Hello,

Thank you for finding this issue. I just looked at the original file and it appears that page 36 is corrupted. I will correct and upload a new version as soon as I have the opportunity. Should you find any other issues let me know. Thanks.

Hello Netasha 

A new file has been uploaded. If you experience any other problems please let me know.

Hi CW,
Could you upload v14 #5 again?  It was buggy on our end as well and I had to remove it.
Sorry.

Thanks for letting me know. I decreased the size of the CBZ and checked all the JPG's. New copy of V14 #5 has been uploaded

Thanks CW.
I should have said it wasn't the file at fault.  It could have gone up as-is again and been fine.

Thanks again for the file.
