Just curious what the ten "holy grail" comic book titles or issues that you'd love to see on the site would be, if you had the choice. Mine would probably be the following:
The Eagle #1, #3, and a complete #4 (Fox Publications) starring the Eagle and Buddy
Weird Comics #18 and #20 (Fox Publications)
Blue Beetle - the remaining issues not posted (Holyoke/Fox)
Black Cobra Comics #3 (Ajax-Farrell)
Yankee Comics #2 (Chesler)
Banner Comics (Ace Comics) featuring The Lone Warrior. #3, 4, and 5 -- and Captain Courageous #6 (Ace Comics)
Black Terror (Nedor; any remaining issues)
Prize Comics (all remaining issues)
Cannonball Comics #1 (Croydon)
Dynamic Comics (Chesler)
;)
-
Listed in the order I thought of them:
Fantoman 3
The Comics Magazine 2
Amazing Mystery Funnies (any)
Stars & Stripes Comics 6 (c2c)
Amazing Adventure Comics 1 & 2
Masked Marvel (any)
Detective Eye 1 & 2
The Arrow 1 & 2
Keen Detective Funnies 23. I'ld also like to see an update to Keen Detective Funnies 24 that included the missing Dr Darkness story.
Champ Comics 19 (last appearance of The Wasp)
-
Could not limit it to ten. These are the top limited runs that I would like to see completed. I would follow this by completing the Centaur and Chesler superhero books.
Green Giant 1
Colossus 1
Mad Hatter 2
Farmer's Daughter 3
Hyper Mystery 1,3
Kokonuts if it exists
Bang-Up 2-3
Superworld 1-2
Bomber 1-4
Challenger 1-2
Key Ring Comics 1
-
Green Giant 1
I forget where I saw it at the moment, but someone on the internet somewhere posted a small fiche image from the interior of this book to show how Green Giant's costume differed between the cover & the story. So, there's something out there somewhere that someone has had access to.

I see your skills are similar to mine ... "someone on the internet somewhere" is usually my level of recollection. ;)
Bookmark, bookmark, bookmark is the lesson.

I'd love to see the Chesler superhero titles completed as well, especially Dynamic Comics.
Regarding the Green Giant, I found this on the net:
"Less than a dozen copies of this incredibly-rare comic, which was distributed only in the New York City area, valued at several thousand dollars each, are thought to still exist!"
I guess that makes his first issue one of the holiest of grails (and a heck of a lot more rare than any of my choices). Wonder if the owner of one of those rare copies would ever scan it for everyone. At least, beyond the fiche image owner that bchat mentioned. At least we can dream. How different was Brent Wood's costume of the interior pages versus what he wore on the cover?

I posted this on the Public Domain Super Heroes site http://pdsh.wikia.com/wiki/Green_Giant :
According to the Overstreet Comic Book Price Guide (2000), Green Giant Comics #1 was an experiment to determine if the company could profitably manufacture and distribute comics with their otherwise idle printing presses. The Moreau Publishing company believes the book was never released to news stands.

Nah, the image was a very blurry cropped image of Green Giant, not worth taking note of where I saw it. I usually bookmark pages whenever I plan to go back to them, and that particular page wasn't worth bookmarking.
The Golden Age Hero Directory (http://www.dpccomics.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/theamericancomicshop/goldenagedatabase/index.php?page=4§ion=g) has a "micro hero" image of both costumes, which are as accurate as they're going to get. Here's the image I saw compared to the cover image:

It'ld be nice to see the actually story one day to find-out which it is.

Mad Hatter 2
By the way, Narf... isn't this available here at DCM? And was there a #1 issue?
One thing is for sure, the art is pretty nice. And I dig the character. :)
-
Thanks for all the info on GG, bchat and Roy.
I've got this sinking feeling we might not be seeing a complete issue for a while. :'(

Yeah I meant 1
-
My list absolutely mirrors BChats list... except for the last one... which would be AMC #7 (as I don't have the complete story to Dinosaur Forest).
G7/Les
-
Hmmm, let's see...
ALL HERO COMICS #1 (Fawcett)
JUMBO COMICS #1 (Fiction House)
TOPS #1 and 2 (Lev Gleason)
BLACK CAT COMICS #2 (Harvey)
CAPTAIN MARVEL STORY BOOK #3 (Fawcett)
GREEN LAMA COMICS #6 (Spark)
KID ETERNITY #14 (Quality)
NYOKA #63 (Fawcett)
BARKER #13 (Quality)
CRIME SMASHER #1 (Fawcett)
...for starters.
-
My big wants would be Peter Wheat & Peter Wheat news. Big surprise there, huh? :-)
It's worth noting that there are more than a few titles I wanted when I first discovered GAC that have been filled in- Animal Comics, Fairy Tale Parade, and Phantom Lady (both Fox and Ajax runs) are all up now, for example.
-
Runs I'd love to see completed include (in no particular order):
St John's Whack Comics (one of the very best MAD comics imitators), their Meet Miss Pepper (Kubert art!), and any more of their Canteen Kate's by Matt Baker, if there were more than 3 issues.
All the missing comics in Quality titles such as Feature and Blackhawk. And I would love to have every fiche comic in the archive replaced with a paper scan. Call me a snob, but I can barely stand to look at a fiche file of a comic. Also, there are plenty of Quality love comics that deserve archiving with slick art by Gil Fox, Bill Ward, and others.
All the missing comics in Prize titles such as Justice Traps the Guilty and Prize Comics Western (Severin and Elder).
The missing Spirit Sunday sections.
All missing Fox titles such as Zoot 10, 12 and 15 (and complete scans of ones that are only partial). Also their Crimes by Women and Junior Comics (top Feldstein headlights).
All missing Harvey comics such as many issues of Speed Comics (many with Powell art, I believe).
All missing Lev Gleason and Hillman titles and issues...
And I could go on and on. We still have our work cut out for us.
-
I have a missing Fox title coming up next, how about that Poz. I just received the book today, scanning starts tomorrow.
So be looking out for it.

I will keep my eye out, you bet! I've got a small stack of five or so comics to scan as soon as I can dig myself out from under the pile of other work I have to do. Unfortunately, none of them is especially thrilling, mostly run of the mill fills for so-so titles. I own a fair number of Quality and Fiction House titles (by fair number I mean maybe a dozen or two each), but they're all ones that have already been scanned. The bulk of the rest of my collection are either Atlas or DC or Marvel and/or too late to be public domain.
-
Hi Poz,
If you spot any scans where the original book was in poor condition or if your own copy is in superior shape please don't hesitate to scan your copy.
There are no rules against having more than one version on the site within reason.

-
All missing Harvey comics such as many issues of Speed Comics (many with Powell art, I believe).
I'm definitely with you on that one. Can't get enough Speed Comics as far as I'm concerned.

;)
-
My list is any Centaur superhero books and anything ODD. I want to see who is OBIE from Store Comics. I want to see the other Metropollitan and Tops comics as well as Key Ring the more obscure the better.
-
ALL The challenge of the yukon comics
and ALL rin tin tin comics
(oh dear more then ten!! :P)
-
I think someone checked on Sgt Preston but has anyone checked to see if Rin Tin Tin were renewed?
-
Black Terror (Nedor; any remaining issues)
Heh heh heh. I just got something in the mail that might make you happy.
BCing you
That Black Terror 018 was awesome, bcholmes. Thank you SO much. :)
I feel like I keep having to revise my top ten because so many of the books keep getting knocked off. I know that Green Giant 01 was a big rarity on a lot of people's lists, and we've seen additions of all kinds of titles from superhero to western and romance. Anyway, I am redoing my ten and hoping some of them show up in 2012.
(1) Weird Comics #20 (Fox Publications)
(2) Banner Comics #4 and #5 (Ace Comics)
(3) Captain Courageous #6 (Ace Comics)
(4) The Eagle #1, and a complete #4 (Fox Publications) starring the Eagle and Buddy
(5) Captain Aero Comics #3 (Holyoke)
(5) Black Terror #1, #3, and #6 (plus issues that need completion) (Nedor)
(6) Dynamic Comics #2, #8 (on the way), #9-12 (Chesler)
(7) America's Best Comics; all missing issues (Nedor)
(8) Daredevil Comics #3-6, 8, 11-12, 14-15 (Lev Gleason)
(9) Prize Comics; remaining issues (JVJ has a ton of them)
(10) Cannonball Comics #1 with the Crash Kid! (Croyden)
Man, it's hard to narrow it down to ten. I also love Speed Comics (Harvey), Clue Comics (Hillman), Catman Comics (Holyoke), Bomber Comics (Gilberton) ... it just goes on and on... ^-^
-
Cannonball is on order, can't wait to get and scan it.
-

Awesome! That would be a huge book to cross of my list, Narf! :D
-
You can also thank Talia and Nobby as contributers to getting this book. It will be sold for more comic money after scanning. I was also able to get an issue of Hi-Jinx to scan with it.
-
Here's a couple coming down the pipe (actual cover shots from the books, no HA cover shots here):
(http://img845.imageshack.us/img845/1815/bc06fc.jpg) (http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/845/bc06fc.jpg/)
Buster Crabbe #6 (Eastern Color Printing) This completes the series
(http://img577.imageshack.us/img577/7518/rsx00fc.jpg) (http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/577/rsx00fc.jpg/)
Rocket Ship X (Fox) One-Shot
Both of these I've picked up a while back now.

Looks good Geo, that Rocket Ship cover, interesting...

Believe me, I am grateful to all of you. This was one of those books which I wasn't sure would ever show up. I've been curious to read whether the Crash Kid story functions as an origin tale, or if it jumps in with him already working as a superhero.
And those books look great, Geo. Smashing colors!
Whenever I think of Buster Crabbe though, I always get Buck Rogers and Flash Gordon into my head. He really did have the perfect look for both of those characters.

Nice list KB.
My personal list is any missing issues of Famous Funnies or Heroic with HG Peter doing his none WW work in them. My thanks to Rangerhouse for all the Heroic issues he recently scanned.
-
Thanks to contributions by Nobby and Talia, Cannonball was purchased. It is now scanned and edited. I am saving it to unveil at the Easter grand opening of the new and improved GAC. Mark has done a great job and I invite everyone to come over and experience it this weekend. There will also be some newly scanned SA PD Charltons and the issue of Hi-Jinx that I bought with Cannonball.
-
Thanks to all of you guys.
And I hope the new GAC has nothing but smooth sailing and great success. Break a leg as they say.
;)
-
Thanks to everyone involved on that Cannonball Comics 01 for knocking it off the #10 spot. I feel like I'm going to have to update my list weekly as the books are really rolling in these days. :)
Yoc, I'm with you on those Heroic issues. The stories are fun and the colors are unbelievably vibrant. Harry Peter did some great work on Man O' Metal. Too bad he didn't tackle some of the other superhero characters, although I'm not complaining as Ben Thompson did a really nice job.
-
Slightly updated:
Dynamic 12 is coming thanks to JVJ and RH, and Narf has given us Cannonball Comics #1 scans, so...
(1) Weird Comics #20 (Fox Publications)

-
In case you are interested in investing Cap Courageous 6 is available $130
http://www.terryscomics.com/C-COMICS03a.asp
-
Thanks for the heads-up on that CC #6, Narf.
I might look into getting that one to scan and upload (if I have the cash) because I'm not sure when -- or if -- that issue will come along again.
-
Well, I contacted Terry about that Captain Courageous #6. Looks like it's already been sold. :'(
-
Too bad wonder if he could ask the buyer to scan it?
-
To complete the appearances of Nedor's the Grim Reaper:
Fighting Yank #7 - first appearance
Wonder Comics #2 - origin
Wonder Comics #5
Wonder Comics #15
then six others ....
-
(8) Daredevil Comics #3-6, 8, 11-12, 14-15 (Lev Gleason)
Hi krankyboy,
Daredevil Comics #12, as said previously, is in the works, I’m at page 34 but I had to stop since I have little to no time to scan. But don’t worry, it will get done…
-
Hang in there Vailant, it takes a lot of work but the feeling of reward when it's finished makes it worth the effort.
-
Sure, it just takes a lot of your patience… ;)
BTW, I will post my Top Ten, but also a Top Ten of actual comics (no eBooks) I am looking for.
-
(8) Daredevil Comics #3-6, 8, 11-12, 14-15 (Lev Gleason)
Hi krankyboy,

Glad to hear it! I'll knock that one off the list as soon as it's up! :)
Looks like Black Terror #6 will also be at DCM soon, thanks to Rangerhouse and Builderboy.
-
Too bad wonder if he could ask the buyer to scan it?
I should probably find out, but I have a feeling that the answer might be "no" on that one as well. :(
-
Great news! Terry just wrote and said Captain Courageous #6 is still available! I'm going to grab it! :D
-
Is Captain Corageous the same character featured in "Four Favorites"?
Darn, I am "desperately" looking for a Four Favorites #12 but there's only a super-ruined copy on eBay definitely overpriced… :(
Sorry, again, I did not proceed with the Daredevil #12. I have got to cut all these distractions, and concentrate on a few things!
-
Yep, he's the same one from Four Favorites. I'm really excited because I figured this comic would never show up, and I'm trying to get a complete run of Lone Warrior adventures from Banner Comics and Captain Courageous (this would actually be LW's final appearance in CC #6).
No worries about Daredevil Comics #12. Take your time. :)
-
Captain Courageous #6 purchased. :D
-
Captain Courageous #6 purchased. :D
I've had good luck with buys from Terry's and he grades great too.
Are you the one to scan this book, if so have fun with it.

I could have easily spent a few hundred without even thinking about it. Terry has Dynamic Comics 11, 17, and 21 which we need in complete form, along with Bomber Comics 1 and 2 and a couple of issues of America's Greatest Comics. I had to seriously control myself and just limit the comic-buying to Captain Courageous this time out.
Rangerhouse will be doing the scanning, which is great because they always look so good when he does it. I'll be sending the book to him as soon as it comes in. Just hope that everyone at DCM enjoys it. I feel like I've been leeching off the time and money of other people, so this is sort of my opportunity to give back.
-
Wonderful news there KB, thanks so much for getting them to RH!
btw, we only need Bomber #1, 2+3 are in unsorted.
-
Bomber 2 is missing a page of Wonder Boy though. And I want that page darn it! ;) :)
We also don't have Bomber 4.
-
Right and four other pages as well. Good point.
-
Right and four other pages as well. Good point.
We'll get 'em all. >:D
Meanwhile, Captain Courageous #6 is currently on its way to rangerhouse for scanning.
-
Rangerhouse has finished scanning Captain Courageous #6 and the pages look fantastic. Hopefully they'll be edited and ready for the website soon. But until then, RH put up a preview of the Lone Warrior story on DCM's Facebook page:
http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.320048264733130.75172.106808696057089&type=1
And my own updated list:
(1) Weird Comics #20 (Fox Publications)
(2) Banner Comics #4 and #5 (complete; we've got a partial issue thanks to dsdaboss) (Ace Comics)
(3) The Eagle #1, and a complete #4 (Fox Publications) starring the Eagle and Buddy
(4) Bomber Comics 1, 2 (missing pages), and 4 complete
(5) Black Terror #1, #3, plus partial issues that need completion (Nedor)
(6) Dynamic Comics #2, #9-10, 17 (Chesler)
(7) America's Best Comics #3-5, 7-9, 14-15, 25, 29 (Nedor)
(8 ) Daredevil Comics #3-6, 8, 11-12, 14-15 (Lev Gleason)
(9) Prize Comics; remaining issues (JVJ has a ton of them)
(10) Atoman #2 (Spark Publications)
-
Thanks, Krankyboy, for all your effort. Unfortunately, I can’t seem to find quiet moments to continue with my scans.
After the Daredevil, I’d have liked to scan two issues of the Challenger (Interfaith Publications), #2 and #4 which are missing.
But I don’t venture in any time estimation, just to let you know I have them.
Bomber Comics: Sooner or later I’d like to buy a copy of #2 (I’m interested in the Kismet story, for reproduction), but right now it’s not on the top of my priorities. It would be good to know the contents of the missing issues, even if incomplete.
I can’t put together a "Top Ten", since I usually buy what I can afford & care about, and the DCM has been great precisely for knowing what’s inside specific issues, to get to know titles & publishers et al.
So I guess I’d better start with some donation instead of just wandering around… :(
One curiosity which would be on my list, however, is Future Comics (McKay Publications), since the four issues feature "Saturn against the Earth", probably the only italian comic strip which made to the US in the 1940s, so here I go:
(1) Future Comics #1-4 (McKay Publications)
-
Just checked Terry's website to see if they had a copy of Future Comics, but no dice. :(
However, I'm currently looking into Dynamic Comics #11 with Dynamic Man and Yankee Boy. It's a little pricey, but I really want us to have a complete run here at DCM, so...
-
Thanks Krank I would love more and complete Cheslers
-
Thanks Krank I would love more and complete Cheslers
Purchase has been completed. Terry is going to mail it by the end of next week. And then it's going right to Rangerhouse. :)
Hope that it's a good one. That just leaves 2, 9, 10, and 17 (and a complete version of 21) for Dynamic Comics. I can't believe we're getting within striking distance of finishing that title.
-
Dynamics are often sought after by collectors merely for the covers, that‘s why they are rare/pricey. :'(
Maybe they were also printed on a worse paper? Don’t know.
I have updated my list:
(1) National Comics #6, 9 (Quality)
(2) Uncle Sam Quarterly #2-6 (Quality)
(2) Future Comics #1-4 (McKay Publications)
And I add my "wantlist", meaning books for my wartime-themed research which I not only need to read/consult but also to keep:
(1) Four Favorites #12
(2) Boy Comics #13
(3) National Comics #11
these on top of my priorities right now. If it happens you stumble upon them, please let me know.
I’m also looking for a coverless National Comics #17 (I have an incomplete copy with missing pages).
-
Fortunately some Dynamic Superhero comics have humor covers. These are usually pretty inexpensive
-
valiant -
I'll keep my eyes open for the comics that you mentioned. ;)
Meanwhile, I'm picking up a complete Dynamic Comics #21 from Terry, which will be sent right off to rangerhouse for scanning and ML for his edits. Our current version at DCM is incomplete.
- KB
-
Thanks KB!
Your dedication to the cause is very admirable.
-
I just felt like I was mooching off everyone else and wasn't contributing enough. So this is really my way of "donating to the cause," so to speak.
I'm hoping to find Banner Comics 4 and 5, and some of the missing Dynamic issues. But I'll also be expanding into Bomber Comics, Wow Comics, Master Comics, and maybe some of the Fighting Yanks and Wonder Comics issues that Roygbiv666 mentioned earlier in the thread. Clue Comics, too. :)
By the way, the sound you hear is my wallet screaming in terror.
-
Hehehe, I thought I heard something in the background!
;)
GL on your wanted list KB!
-
Terry has Dynamic Comics #17, but it's got a torn chunk out of the first and second page that affects the Dynamic Man story. Not sure if I should get it or wait for a c2c unaffected copy. :-/
-
It's your call KB.

If you want my opinion, since I seem to get you’re generally uninterested to keep the issues, I think it would be better to buy them in GVG to VG.
They’ll be more costly, but it will be easier to resell them.
Also (I’ve seen RH listings on eBay), if auctions aren’t the preferred venue, I would suggest trying the CGC Forum marketplace first. This would allow to keep the prices slightly lower, and possibly sell faster. There are a lot of nice people putting GA issues on sale, at various prices.
-
Thanks for the suggestions, vaillant. :)
Well, another issue of Dynamic Comics bits the dust. Just picked up Dynamic Comics #10 and will send it to RH as soon as the issue arrives. But that will have to be my last contribution for a while. ;)
-
Excellent!
Thanks very much KB!

You're very welcome, Yoc. I'm doing everything I can to try and get us a complete run of Dynamics. The cover of #10 is really cool as well and has a definite "horror" or Halloween feel to it.
The same seller also had a nice c2c copy of Dynamic Comics #2, but I'm out of cash for now. :-[
-
Go ahead and post it. Half a loaf, etc.
-
Another issue of Dynamic soon to be crossed off the list -- Dynamic Comics #2 thanks to Rangerhouse! :D
That just leaves issues 9 and 17 (and a complete 16). Slowly getting there....

-
Go ahead and post it. Half a loaf, etc.
Good point.
But I'm still hemming and hawing... it'd be so nice to get a c2c copy, and there's got to be a cheap one out there somewhere. :-\
-
My list, updated again:
(1) Weird Comics #20 (Fox Publications)
(2) Banner Comics #4 and #5 (complete; we've got a partial issue thanks to dsdaboss) (Ace Comics)
(3) The Eagle #1, and a complete #4 (Fox Publications) starring the Eagle and Buddy
(4) Bomber Comics 1, 2 (missing pages), and 4 complete
(5) Black Terror #1, #3, plus partial issues that need completion (Nedor)
(6) Dynamic Comics #9 (Chesler)
(7) America's Best Comics #3-5, 7-9, 14-15, 25, 29 (Nedor)
(8 ) Daredevil Comics #3-6, 8, 11-12, 14-15 (Lev Gleason)
(9) Prize Comics; remaining issues (JVJ has a ton of them)
(10) Atoman #2 (Spark Publications)
Thanks again to everyone who has shared their list. :)
-
Thanks for the new list KB.
A completed run of Frankenstein Comics (Prize) would be at or near the top of any list from me.

Thanks for the new list KB.

Wow, I didn't realize just how many issues there were in Frankenstein Comics! He seems to be a really popular character, so I'm sure a lot of people would like to see that title completed, not to mention the rest of the issues of Prize Comics where he appears. By the way, have any of you seen the 60's Dell Comics version where he literally is a costumed superhero complete with a secret identity?
Meanwhile, RH has informed me that Dynamic Comics #17 has just been purchased with the rangerhouse/krankyboy fund, and it's c2c. So another one has been taken off my list.
Now if I could just find Dynamic Comics #9.... :)
-
Well, my top ten list
1. Rangers Comics (Fiction House) 7, 15, 20
2. Jumbo Comics (Fiction House) 21, 162

7. Nyoka the Jungle Girl (Fawcett) 63
8. Women Outlaws (Fox) 4, 5, 6, 7, 8
9. Missing Exciting, Thrilling, Startling issues (Standard, etc.)
10. Paper replacements for fiche and 'GM' above series and others

Update to my list:
(1) National Comics #6, 9 (Quality)
(2) Uncle Sam Quarterly #2-6 (Quality)
(2) Future Comics #1-4 (McKay Publications)
(4) Our Flag Comics #1, 3 (Ace)
(5) any missing Capt. Marvel Jr. Master Comics issue (Fawcett) -- need to check for war-related stories
I repeat my "wantlist", meaning books for my wartime-themed research which I not only need to read/consult but also to keep:
(1) Four Favorites #12
(2) Boy Comics #13
(3) National Comics #11
these on top of my priorities right now. If it happens you stumble upon them, please let me know.
I’m also looking for a coverless National Comics #17 (I have an incomplete copy with missing pages).
-
I'd love to find Our Flag Comics #1 and 3 as well. Got to get those last issues crossed off the DCM list.
And speaking of lists, RH has just found a Dynamic Comics #16, so that just leaves #9 before we'll have a complete run. We're going to be teaming up, looking for Fawcetts (Captain Midnight, Wow, etc) and maybe some Nedors and other Chesler books in the future. Depends on how the RH/kranky fund holds up.
-
Looks like Dynamic Comics 9 may be coming soon as well. That would give us a complete run of the title. :D
-
Congrats KB!
-
Rangerhouse gets full credit for it, as a kind person is allowing him to scan their book. Anyway, I'm overjoyed that Dynamic will soon be completed. On the other hand, I'm sad that I won't be able to read any more new issues after that. :(
(1) Weird Comics #20 (Fox Publications)
(2) Banner Comics #4 and #5 (complete; we've got a partial issue thanks to dsdaboss) (Ace Comics)
(3) The Eagle #1, and a complete #4 (Fox Publications) starring the Eagle and Buddy
(4) Bomber Comics 1, 2 (missing pages), and 4 complete
(5) Exciting Comics #39, 40, and 49

(10) Daredevil Comics #3-6, 8, 11-12, 14-15 (Lev Gleason)
-
After I managed to get Captain Courageous 6 earlier this year (thanks to Narf), Rangerhouse has found a Banner Comics #4 up for sale on ebay. We're bidding on it.
Hopefully we can win the auction and post the issue here with large scans for everybody.
-
Good luck guys!
:D
-
We lost the auction. :'(
-
Gee, sorry to hear that KB.
:(
My top 10 would include -
Famous Funnies #95, 99, 101, 102, 105, 106, 108. All with Fearless Flint.
I'd also be after any missing Frankenstein issues.
-
We also lost out on another Banner Comics #4 on ebay last week. Talk about wretched luck (I'm starting to feel like Peter Parker with this book). And it's not like we weren't putting in fairly high bids for it.
Yoc, you'll be happy to know that Rangerhouse just received a lot of Prizes from JVJ. So you'll be getting your share of Frankie in the future. :)
-
With Frankie comes Worldbeater and Unghh a very fun strip. If you like Frank give W and U a try.
-
Thanks KB (Love the avatar!), really looking forward to those Prize books!
:D
-
Glad that you dig the avatar, Yoc. I think it's appropriate given my username. ;-)

-
Some of your Prize Comics and Nedors will be filled in the near future KB.
-
That's great news!
I know that Rangerhouse has scanned a bunch of JVJ's Prizes (which you and loftypilot are currently editing). The first several books looked pretty amazing. As much as you love Frankie, I am just as big a fan of The Black Owl and Yank and Doodle. :)
-
I'm wondering if we'll ever get Biro's TOPS before I die? Other personal faves, which I may have already mentioned:
Fills for DAREDEVIL and BOY COMICS.
Fills for all the Fawcett titles.
The remaining Quality comics we don't have.
Final fills for JUMBO COMICS.
Probably more, but that's it for now.
-
DM --
Some Fawcetts (Wows, Masters and Captain Marvel Jr. Comics) have been filtering to the site over the past month, so that's a good sign. :)

One book I would be delighted to see made available but which probably isn't a priority for anyone else is "Master Comics" #49 which contains the last Minute Man story as well as the second part of the Bulletboy story. Granted, "The Mimic and the Mite" which is the first part of the Bulletboy story isn't exactly classic or even a significant minor story in the Fawcett line but I've always had a movie serial mentality and I'd like to know how the second part turns out. I'd also like to see the last Minute Man story just simply because it was the last one.
Trivial but true,
Jon
-
Good suggestion there Jon.
I like KB's list though I'd put the missing Prize Comics at the top and follow it with the missing Heroic Comics issues need to complete the HG Peter material.

They've actually got a copy of Master Comics #49 c2c over at Metropolis Comics and Collectibles. It's not too expensive, so if nobody else has it -- I could pick it up and get it over to RH for scanning. I've always wanted to read the second part of the Bulletboy/Tod Drake story as well. Too bad the character didn't show up again after that.
- KB
-
I have some I'd like to see that I don't think have been mentioned yet.
Circus...The Comic Riot (1938) 1-3 These are so rare that GCD doesn't have them indexed. I read a copy of #1 a couple of decades ago. It has a strip titled Spacehawks by Basil Wolverton. I believe this also has Jack Cole's first published work.
Wow...what a magazine (1936) 1-4 Early Eisner and other people
Rex Dexter Of Mars # 1
Minute Man 1-3 there must be paper copies out there somewhere
Slam Bang 1-7 Ditto
-
Rex Dexter #1 is supposed to be scanned. I've seen previews of it on our Facebook page. Question is, where is it?
-
Rex is getting cleaned up.
He and some other fun stuff are going to be showing by the end of the month.
-
I've got something which is going to make jfglade very happy. >:D

I've got some top10 books I can think of but can't nail it down to just 10 individual books -
1. Eastern's Famous Funnies #108 - the last of the HG Peter issues needed!
2. G.I. Combat #6 and 16 needed to complete the Quality issues.
3. The first 5 issues of Jumbo Comics
4. Those missing and incomplete Frankenstein Comics we need
5. Reform School Girl! nn
6. Any of the missing America's Best Comics, Best Comics, Exciting Comics, etc
7. All those missing Centaurs - any of them!
8. Those missing Champ Comics by Harvey
9. Captain Fearless #2
-
The Rangerhouse/KB fund has a little surprise coming for you on the Champ Comics front, Yoc. ;)
Many thanks to RH for picking it up.
-
And I MIGHT have a surprise re one of the missing Jumbo's, Yoc. Bud Plant is coming by to visit next Monday and he's just picked up two issues that he didn't have. I got a new digital camera for Christmas and I am hoping that it will actually function as a means to capture comics with enough detail to put into a .cbz file for the site. This will be a test if it turns out that he has one of the issues missing from the site. Of course, the snow would HAVE to stop falling in California for these things to work properly....
Peace, Jim (|:{>
Happy New Year. And thanks to Blastaar for all the nice comments.
-
Very nice new guys thanks!
Jim, new member CBpop has shown me some great digital picture page scans he's done proving a consumer camera can produce a decent scan if the lighting is perfect. I'll forward you his email and examples.
-Yoc
-
Will do Snard.
Btw, please include '-upgrade' at the end of any improvements like this in the future so people are aware at a glance something new has been added.
I've removed the old one and tweaked yours.
Len (freddyflly) likes to do upgrades on his original uploads so if you spot a cover or have missing pages he welcomes people to send them to him and he'll do the upgrade uploads. I'll let him know about your latest one and see what he wants to do with his original.
-
I still want the missing Peter Wheat material, Kelly issues in particular. But hope is fading on those these days; a VG-FN copy on eBay is currently at $125 and that's my threshold on the book right now. For what it's worth, that's about somewhere around 5x guide...
-
Updated list for me. Thanks to Len for finding America's Best 14 and 15. :)

(2) Banner Comics #4 and #5 (complete; we've got a partial issue thanks to dsdaboss) (Ace Comics)

-
The one book I'd like to see on this site is Fawcett's All-Hero Comics from 1943. It was a 100-page 15 cents book that only lasted one issue. The problem was timing. It was intended as a companion to their America's Greatest. But the wartime paper shortage killed it. Pity. Anyone have a copy they can upload?
-
...
Regarding the Green Giant, I found this on the net:
"Less than a dozen copies of this incredibly-rare comic, which was distributed only in the New York City area, valued at several thousand dollars each, are thought to still exist!"
...
I posted this on the Public Domain Super Heroes site http://pdsh.wikia.com/wiki/Green_Giant :
According to the Overstreet Comic Book Price Guide (2000), Green Giant Comics #1 was an experiment to determine if the company could profitably manufacture and distribute comics with their otherwise idle printing presses. The Moreau Publishing company believes the book was never released to news stands.
What am I missing? GG is available on this site, under Small Press http://digitalcomicmuseum.com/index.php?dlid=17170
-
True enough Moon, the dream though is to see paper scans of it... not likely gonna happen but a monkey can dream.
:)
-
Colossus shows up at a relatively "reasonable" price but Green Giant is another story.
-
Green Giant 1
Colossus 1
Mad Hatter 2
Farmer's Daughter 3
Hyper Mystery 1,3
Kokonuts if it exists
Bang-Up 2-3

Maybe this falls in the Top Ten Least Wanted Comics category....
As grateful as the completist within me is for all the Charlton scans being done, I still harbor a wish that Charlton could be relegated to the bottom of the stack of comics to be scanned.
This is in no way a criticism of the hard work going into scanning them, but a little voice within me keeps piping up saying "surely there are other treasures to be found in JVJ's marvelous collection that could be scanned before getting around to the Charltons." <g>
That said, I feel guilty enough about my mini-gripe that I'm going to scan the FC, IFC, IBC and BC missing from the present scan on site of Doll Man #46. Just came across it in my disordered and funky collection. ;)
-
You know Poz, anything is better then nothing in our site here.
Geo
-
I realize that, Geo, and I am not knocking anyone whatsoever. If new scans are Charltons, so be it. We are all in the debt of the scanners (and JVJ) for their hard work. No question.
I should mention that I think that even Charlton published some decent work from time to time (Ditko comes to mind).
Nuff said.

Hi KB,
Your #8 can mostly be taken off the list - a partial issue will be part of the Fox Spotlight.
Sadly #1 and #3 aren't available at the LOC or with JVJ.
-
Hi Yoc,
I'll leave up #8 since it's not going to be complete.
Shame about #1 and #3, but hope springs eternal. Maybe someday they'll turn up.

Hmm...Since the two stories up here from Thrilling Comics #32 are probably my scans, I wouldn't be surprised if that book didn't turn up sometime in the not too distant future. I was considering it for my anniversary countdown, but opted for scanning Startling #28 instead. (Fewer pages at a time when I was doing a lot of scanning.)
I can also upgrade Prize #20 with 300dpi scans and ifc and ibc scans, but alas, my copy is also centerfold-less.

Let's try this:
ALL HERO COMICS #1 (Fawcett)
JUMBO COMICS #1, 3, 4 (Fiction House)
TOPS #1 and 2 (Lev Gleason)
CAPTAIN MARVEL STORY BOOK #3 (Fawcett)
BARKER #13 (Quality)
WHIZ COMICS #153 (Fawcett)
CAPTAIN MARVEL, JR. #14, 53
MASTER COMICS #3, 5, 6, 94
PLASTIC MAN #52
POLICE COMICS #103

I second all of these. I've been looking for an affordable Barker #13 in particular for years. And I don't think I've ever seen an unaffordable one. Plas #52 and Police #103 would also top my list.
-
I don't have a top "10" list at this moment, but the one I thought we would never see was Buster Crabbe #5 by Eastern. Eric found a copy which he left me scan and then a few months ago I found my own copy and could replace the last page of his book that had been cut out on the bottom half of the page. I'm sure I could come up with a few more after thinking on it a bit.

I don't have a top 10 as such, but (beyond my well known Peter Wheat obsession) Target v1 n6-8 are very high on my want list. 6 is gettable but 7 is crazy expensive and 8 is crazy scarce. (8 was the last book they were looking for for the Bill Everett archives collections, last I heard.)

Hi guys,
I can tell you that something on DM's list will be showing up this year for sure.
:)

Hi Eric,
I'd love to see both of them (American Crusader is one of my favorite superheroes from better/Nedor). Which story is affected by the missing centerfold of Prize #20? I'm hoping that it's not Yank and Doodle or Black Owl, but I've got a bad feeling....
KB
-
Both Yank and Doodle and Frankenstein unfortunately. Black Owl is complete. I've wanted that complete Y&D story for years now. It's by Paul Norris!
-Eric
-
Reform School Girl would be nice....

Aw, man... :'(
Yank and Doodle is one of my favorite ongoing strips from Prize, so that's a bummer. But a complete copy of Prize 20 has got to show up at some point.

Mystery Men Comics #'s 1, 28, & 29 are on CB+ in fiche form......I didn't look any of the others up though.
Richard

Sure, my Top10 is scans from Paper.
Fiche are strictly only good enough for fills in my book.
-
I'd like all the Clock stories in complete and readable form.
A Star Presentation #3
Black Phantom #2
Collections of all stories based on the writings of H.P. Lovecraft and Ambrose Bierce.

-
I'm updating my want list to include the missing pages from Lightning Comics Vol. 2 #6 and Super-Mystery Comics Vol. 3 #4 because I am a newly minted Doctor Nemesis fan. The final 4 pages of Speed Comics #1 are damaged and I'd like to them in complete form. I'm also hoping for a better version of Spy Smasher #10 as well since I like that "Why I Did Not Kill Hitler!" story. And a better version of any Fawcett comic that is fiche.
-
Thanks for your lists guys, always interesting to see what people want.
-
Well mine would be the missing issues of "Crime Does Not Pay" and the scarce "Crime Does Not Pay Annual"
And as a joke "Police Thrills" from Ajax-Farrell ( LOL i know it does not exist).
-
Captain Aero #18-20 would be great. They contain the only appearances of Miss Victory that I haven't read.
-
Captain Aero 18-20 do not exist.
Please visit http://www.comics.org/series/61788/ for a detailed explanation.

Truly a complete mess for numbering!

A good way to lose formatting if you are on a Windows computer is to paste the text into Notepad. Copy the plain text from notepad and then re-paste it where you want the non-formatted text to be.

A few holes have been filled. how about:
ALL HERO COMICS #1

The Clock - paper scans of fiche stories with this character from Detective Picture Stories, Funny Picture Stories, etc.
I can't count. Was that ten?

Captain Aero 18, 19 and 20 do not exist

Thanks for your posts gang.
One of mine just showed up. A smallish scan of Fox's Wonder Comics #1 was finally shared on Facebook.
It's better than the fiche scan but we would certainly welcome a better scan if it were ever possible!
It will be going up on DCM at some point soon.

Here are some of my most sought ones:
- Champion Comics #10 and Champ Comics #18 - The only remaining PD comics missing that are connected to the main Marvel universe with Duke O'Dowd!
- A new version of Feature Comics #27 which currently is missing it's last page for the Clock.
- A new version of Crack Comics #14 which is currently missing the last page of the Madam Fatal story.
- Technically not Comics (or are they?), but maybe they are in the public domain and I might see them someday: the 4 Dime Action Novels by Fawcett featuring Capt. Marvel, Spy Smasher, Minute Man and Bulletman
- A full scan of Complete Book of Comics and Funnies #1 (currently we have the Wonderman story of it in a collection somewhere on the site)
One day some of these will pop up on the newly added feed and I will be a happy boy, until then I applaud and thank every contributor for the vast amount of PD library we have here so far. There is no shortage of comics to read that is for sure!

I just got 2 last week: Goofy Comics 6 and 9 from 1943. ;D So, I know it's likely I'll get SOME of these before I pass on. Probably not all.
