Fight Comics have two needed #32 and #35.

Don't see evidence of an Our Flag 6

Mary Marvel 19 will be up soon.

Of course, we still need fills and fiche/GM replacement for many in these series

You're right and I'm modifying it.  Thanks!  Looking forward to Mary Marvel.

The scanners out there have done an amazing job over the years.
It's exciting to see how close we are on so many titles.  Missing pages, fiche and needed upgrades should mean something for scanning will always be needed though.

Thanks for the list DM.

Blazing 6 is just a cover around a variety of reprints so it need not be on the list.

Post by: darkmark (RIP) on March 28, 2015, 04:35:35 AM
We only need 23 of these now.  How about that?

Sweet!  Thanks DM!

I've got Plastic Man 52 along with 15 or 20 other missing Quality issues.  Only problem is I don't own a scanner.   Any chance I could loan them to someone to scan and then get them back?

Absolutely!
Please send DCM staffer rangerhouse a private message at THIS LINK (http://digitalcomicmuseum.com/forum/index.php?action=pm;sa=send;u=13402) and he can arrange to scan your books for you.

Thanks a lot titansfan! I (and I'm sure many others) look forward to seeing scans of your books.

Thanks very much for reaching out to us.

Just had an idea I thought I'd float by you guys.  Some of the missing issues are kinda pricey.   Has anyone ever thought of teaming up to buy a missing issue, scanning it and the reselling.  It could be resold for what we paid and then everyone gets their money back after the sale.  Just wondering if anyone had considered this.  I'd be game to help out with the cost.

Post by: Yoc on August 27, 2015, 09:46:07 AM
These things come up from time to time.
They don't last very long for various reasons.
DCM doesn't officially support or discourage such ideas.
Title: Re: We only need one of these!
Post by: srca1941 on August 27, 2015, 10:03:22 AM
Not to veer the thread off into a tangent, but has anyone floated the idea of making it more official than just some individuals teaming up? Such as an official DCM fund for buying and selling that people would give to and not expect money back from. Someone would be a designated buyer, the books would be sent to official scanners, and then sold again? It's just a thought. It would be a lot of work to setup and coordinate, so I could understand it not being something someone (or some people) would want to take on, but as we get down to some of the rarer and pricier books it may be something to consider.

Hi Eric,
No, DCM hasn't officially gone down that road.  Rangerhouse and BuilderBoy have teamed up to buy some books in the past but that was done off site between them.
I've seen such ventures sometimes muddy the water and create some drama between people when it's been tried.  I'm personally reluctant to do anything officially like this with DCM.

 In the last four days we've dropped three from the list.  Keep going!

We are darn close on Police Comics if it's not on the list.
Title: Re: We only need one of these!
Post by: darkmark (RIP) on September 09, 2015, 03:29:36 PM
It is.  We only need #103.
Title: Re: We only need one of these!
Post by: titansfan on October 02, 2015, 05:57:18 AM
Sending Hollywood Secrets #4 in the next batch.   That is the only missing issue from that quality series.

Barker 13 is currently on ebay.  Gonna try and win it.

Columbia, Gem of the Comics #1 is on eBay right now for $43.21. An odd price for a "buy it now," but whatever. It's out of my range at the moment, but hopefully someone else can snag it to scan!

There are already 6 bids on this.  Do we need help getting this I've been looking for a long time.  I don't need to own it, just want to get it scanned

I can get a copy for $4.50 if this is not won
Title: Re: We only need one of these!
Post by: narfstar on January 19, 2016, 10:09:58 PM
I went ahead and bought the 4.50 cent copy. If the ebay copy is not won I will scan it. I found it at nostalgiazone nice place to buy

Thanks Narf.  I'll put the money toward something else then.

I could almost say we're down to 1 issue on BLUE BOLT if we just count the Novelty run.  But we're missing #105-110 from the Star run, so I'll leave it off.

You can strike-through this one on your list. (https://digitalcomicmuseum.com/forum/Smileys/yarex2/cheesy.gif)(https://digitalcomicmuseum.com/forum/Smileys/yarex2/azn.gif)(https://d1466nnw0ex81e.cloudfront.net/n_iv/600/643593.jpg)Will be uploading soon.

I am missing Fox's Jo-Jo Comics #s 3, 4 and 6.

I'm guessing that this website's patrons are almost exclusively NON-collectors/readers of "Funny Animal" comics, and so, consider Jo-Jo Comics # 1-6 as a "different series" from that of those issues starting with #7 (and the change of genre to "Jungle Adventure").  And, yet, both runs of this title are listed together on this website as one series.  It seems that the list of series needing scans of only one issue on page 1 of this thread really only refers to Human-figure non-comedy series (or, perhaps, only series containing Superhero and other action-adventure-based series).

I am a funny animal and cartoony human-figure comedy comics fan, and had hoped there would be a decent amount of other collectors of my genres here.  But, sadly, it seems they make up only a tiny % of users of this website.  I understand that my favourite genres are the most prone to remain outside the Public Domain at the present time, and that, at least for The USA and The UK (and British Commonwealth countries -if not also the rest of The World), the great majority of overall % of current traditional style comic book readers is
reads and collects those action-based human-figure genres, plus Romance, Horror and other non-comedy and cartoony animation-related comics.

Hi Robb,
DM was just wrong about only needing Jo-Jo #16.  We still need that and the issues you've mentioned.
We hope ALL the missing books eventually show up, humour, teen, romance, all of them!

Thanks to Atomicsteve's latest upload, we only need one more issue of Coo-Coo to finish the run.

If anyone out there owns Coo Coo Comics 060, PLEASE consider scanning it or let a trusted scanner do it for you.

With Jetstone's recent upload of Jamboree Comics 2, that series is complete.
