Well, I just submitted my first upload (via the web form).  I'm sure i probably did 12 different things wrong, but there it is.

Post by: bcholmes on February 20, 2011, 09:56:53 AM
And now my second upload in is place.  The site has had an incomplete version of Startling Comics #34.  I've scanned a cover-to-cover version.  In particular, the site was missing the one story I really wanted to read: the origin of The Scarab. 

In fact, both comics that I've uploaded have included Scarab stories.  I think he's an interesting character.

Post by: Geo (RIP) on February 20, 2011, 11:40:35 AM
It's up and available for downloading, I added the part about the "Origin of Scarab" to the infomation.

Thanks for the upload.

 I had seen that issue before but missing the Scarab origin, and I was delighted to finally be able to read the origin story.

 Thank you very much,

Two Scarabs?  Sounds like a case of beetlemania.
Title: Re: bcholmes Uploads
Post by: dhfh on February 23, 2011, 09:01:24 AM
It was great to finally read the first and next-to-last appearances of the Scarab!

A big, belated "Thanks!" for posting not only Exciting #48, but also and perhaps most importantly the complete Startling #34!

This means we now have the complete run of the Scarab (all 9 tales).  And the scans look great, too.

So thanks again, Mr. Holmes!

It is kinda oddly satisfying to be able to upload a book, and then, less than half a week later, it's already been downloaded over 100 times. 
Title: Re: bcholmes Uploads
Post by: Yoc on February 24, 2011, 08:11:19 AM
Being a brain in a jar, even seeing and typing is a big accomplishment!  *wink*
Seriously, congrats on the popular scans BC
:)
Title: Re: bcholmes Uploads
Post by: narfstar on February 25, 2011, 10:44:31 AM
I agree BC. I like to see that my efforts are not wasted. But I also am willing to scan the less popular titles because there is always someone looking for them. Romance comics may not get as many hits but those that want 'em want 'em. If no one scanned them they might just disappear.
Title: Re: bcholmes Uploads
Post by: bcholmes on March 14, 2011, 08:13:36 PM
It's been a little while, but I got my hands on a new book: The Face, #1.  (I like Marvelo, and this has another Marvelo story in it).

Be on the lookout for it BC, whenever you are ready with it.

I uploaded it through the web form last night.  Did it disappear?

Edit: Oh, hey.  There it is in the Columbia section.

Thanks BC, a pretty 'creepy' looking character by the way too.

I've just web-form-uploaded The Black Terror number 19.

Now up!  :)

Thanks for filling in another missing Black Terror issue, bcholmes.  :D
Title: Re: bcholmes Uploads
Post by: bcholmes on March 29, 2011, 08:34:19 PM
And one more: a web-form-upload of Fighting Yank #4.

This was probably the hardest books I've ever tried to scan.  The original has a number of flaws, including a glued spine, and misaligned fold. 
Title: Re: bcholmes Uploads
Post by: Yoc on March 29, 2011, 08:47:31 PM
Very cool, thanks BC,
Now Up!
And again, my apologies for the Anniversary list slight.

Keep up the great work - full VIP status now granted as well.

Post by: bcholmes on December 24, 2011, 11:32:25 AM
Well, it's been a while since I last uploaded, but I picked up a copy of Black Terror #18 and just scanned it today.  I was surprised not to see a cover image on the confirm screen, so I hope that all went well.

I must also confess that this issue really challenged me as I was scanning it.  I think the Oompah story really fits into a long racist tradition of depiction of black people, and I did find myself wondering, "why am I helping to archive racism?"  I guess that one must be prepared to confront the brutal truth of history, but it's a bitter pill to swallow.

Anyway, other than Black Terror #1, and three unscanned issues in the JVJ collection, I think Black Terror is almost complete.

Hi BC
I just checked you upload and I see the page order is buggered.  Your covers appear after pg9 due to leaving out one '0'
You'd need to rename it 'black_terror_018_000a_fc', etc for them to appear at the front.

My suggestion lately has been to start all file names with numbers before anything else to avoid any troubles -
ie 000-black_terror_018_fc,  001-black_terror_018_ifc, etc

Could you reupload this with the correction BC?

Thanks!

Eeep.  Sure thing.  I think the new version should be uploaded, now.

Sorry 'bout that.

My upload speeds are Terrible so this was much quicker than I would have managed.
And the scan looks very nice, lovely to see a new Nedor scan of this popular title as well.

Honestly, I think you need to look at it in the context of the time. That can be difficult, but it's certainly no worse than the depiction of black people in something like "Gone With The Wind."

Anyway, thanks so much for the new issue of Black Terror.  :D

Gosh darnit! 

I just got something really exciting in the mail, and my scanner's being difficult.  (My scanner has never really enjoyed being asked to work with OS X Lion).

BC
Title: Re: bcholmes Uploads
Post by: Geo (RIP) on January 06, 2012, 09:45:28 PM
B as a fellow Mac user that is why I haven't upgrade to Lion yet, just because of my scanner software will not working with OSX 7. I've been checking for a few months now, and still no upgrade yet. So I feel you pain.

Okay, I managed to coax it with sweet words and a big stick. I've uploaded Fighting Yank #1. 

I gotta say that I'm kinda chuffed about this.

WOW!
Wonderful to see this on the site BC!

Thanks so much for sharing it.  I made a small note that it's not that 'other' copy floating around that we can't share on the site due to it's watermark.

Thanks again!

Hehe, thanks for noticing.
It's from my edit of Wonder Comics #8.  Annoyingly whomever uploaded it onto DCM/GAC removed my favourite Monkey_NFO page.  >:(
But if you'd like to see it you can still use the thumbnail I added  -
http://digitalcomicmuseum.com/index.php?ACT=browser&id=1966 (http://digitalcomicmuseum.com/index.php?ACT=browser&id=1966)

I was very happy with that one and kept forgetting to use it as an avatar.

Thanks again for the great upload!
