Hmm. That's odd.
Oh, I wanted to say your zip file size was just fine.

More Whites?!  Hurrray!
:d

Hi H,
I've been told that Bell Features books are not in the public domain.
Best to avoid those in future scans much as I hate to say it.

Thanks Yoc. Good to know I improved between uploads!

I just found that out from the guys at Comic Book Plus myself. However, it sounds like the comics WILL enter the public domain in a couple years, so if I get any "Bell" titles I'll make sure to scan them anyways for later (just in case).

Ah, I hadn't heard that about Bell.  I'm told they are owned by Canadian media company Chorus Ent.
I've had to remove the Bell section from the site. 

Sure, scan them for your own reading.  They books are pulp and will only survive so long before turning to a pulpy mess!

I've had to remove the Bell section from the site.

But you've saved backups for all of them in case they do become public domain, right?

[Yoc]

Hi H,
Oh yes, for sure. The old section is in a non-public section of the site for safe keeping.
Sadly this isn't that uncommon.  For someone to buy a book, excitedly scan and share it and learn that legally it isn't something we can share.  It's why I suggested earlier if you had others you might send me a list in a private message or email and we could hopefully avoid such nasty news.

Still I'm happy to know they are scanned even if not safe for here. All these mostly forgotten, (the Canadian whites are more obscure than almost any USA publisher) titles are deserving of scanning before they are permanently lost to age or plastic coffins.

Now up!
Thanks again H for another cool White.

No problem, Yoc! I don't know when I'll next have the time, but I've got at least one more Canadian comic to upload (so keep your eyes peeled for that)!
