This is a 68 page black and white British reprint of an American original plus extra stories. The issue numbers do not match.
Title: The Unseen#6 uploaded.
Post by: jimpy on April 26, 2011, 12:23:27 AM
This is one of a very few coloured originals in good condition in my collection - most of them are black and white British reprints of various publications.

I don't think we'd better be hosting this one as is.  Half of the book is Atlas (i.e., Marvel) reprints.  I'll upload a de-Marvelized version ASAP.

Thanks to DM removing the non-Prize stories the book is now back on the site.
My thanks to jimpy for the original upload.

Those Brit books can be very unusual for their contents mixing different publishers together in a variety of combinations.
As long as the majority of the book is non-PD jimpy, we can remove the unsafe Atlas, etc content for you.

Thanks again for the uploads,

Sorry about the incomplete first version - must have got 2 pages stuck together, so I only counted 34 rather than 36. I have renumbered all the files to suit.

Thank you Jim for reup'ing the corrected file. I've now deleted the other file and left a note to others that downloaded the first one that this one is now c2c. Don't feel to bad we've all had our "bad days", it happens to even the best of us.

Thanks again for the fix.

Hopefully, the stories in the latter half of the book are PD. You will probably wish to re-number it to fit in with US series.

Hi jimpy,
Using the story search on GCD I've learned the following about your latest upload:
(Luckily we need both sections!)

First half - Black Magic #v2#9 [15]
(August 1952) Prize

Second half - Eerie #7
(June-July 1952) Avon

Final true fact story from
Airboy Comics v8#9 [92]
(October 1951) Hillman

For sharing we will separate the two halves into their proper sections and provide links to each other for those that want the c2c book.

I'll take care of this when I get home and add the missing cover from Eerie #7.  Thanks for uploading jimpy!

-Yoc
Title: Re: black magic british 011 uploaded
Post by: Yoc on May 08, 2011, 10:02:52 AM

Hi Jimpy,

Post by: slinky on May 10, 2011, 07:37:48 AM
Thanks Jimpy!

As I understand it, the scan was originally released as c2c, then split. Now I am combining both parts myself to have the c2c. Crazy!  :-/

I would really appreciate seeing c2c versions of future scans, assuming of course that they are PD. Perhaps to Americans the British editions are only worthy of being chopped up and used as placeholders, but to a Brit the UK editions have a value of their own.

Slinky  :-*
Title: Re: black magic british 011 uploaded
Post by: josemas on May 10, 2011, 08:59:35 AM
I think Slinky makes a very good point here.  Is there any reason why we can't have this original (c2c) version in the UK comics section as well as using the B/W  scans as "placeholders" under the American comic titles (until scans from the original American comics become available to take their place)?

Best

Black Magic V1#2 52pages c2v Dec1950
Title: Re: black magic british 011 uploaded
Post by: Yoc on May 10, 2011, 11:59:24 AM
Well, being mostly an American based site I thought at the time the easiest thing to do was split the book and add notes to the original c2c books.  It's not hard to combine them later.  
That and it brings to attention that the partial scans exist for those books and might encourage a c2c scan of the missing book.

From now on I'll leave a c2c version in the British section as well as split them.
Title: Re: astounding comic fc uploaded
Post by: Yoc on May 10, 2011, 12:20:42 PM
Hi Jimpy,
I couldn't find these story titles on GCD (I'm guessing you failed to as well.)
Could I get you to just scan and upload just the first pages of these story pages?
I might be able to confirm the at least are not Atlas stories and know they are Ok for the site.

Sorry for the delay on this.

btw, your file names don't have to be both "cbz.zip".   Either will work.

They both work with CDisplay, the most commonly used comic viewer app for PCs.

I think that's the way to approach the British reprint titles, Yoc. I'm a Wyomingite, which is almost like being an American, but I'd like to see the British books as they were printed, whenever possible.
Title: Re: astounding comic fc uploaded
Post by: Yoc on May 11, 2011, 01:08:35 AM
Thanks for uploading the pages jimpy.
While I can't nail down exactly which issue I can tell you it's a reprint from
Hillman's Real Clue Crime Stories sometime after v3.
You can download any later issue and see the 'Crime File number' and similar layout is used in them like in your book.

Feel free to scan and upload the book.
:)
Title: Re: astounding comic fc uploaded

Hi,
I have now uploaded the whole comic. I designated it 'Real Clue' but you might prefer it as UK.

Black Magic#13 British edition. Black and white reprint of US#unknown, Eerie#9, 1 Heap story. Some of the centre scans not perfect - the binding makes it difficult to read let alone scan. I was originally only going to upload the first half of the book, to avoid duplication in different sections, but as there is now a demand for British c2c versions, and as all the stories are PD, I scanned the whole comic and designated it UK.
Title: Re: astounding comic fc uploaded
Post by: josemas on May 12, 2011, 08:30:15 AM
Yoc

I appreciate your going to the extra trouble of working these British comics into additional files when appropriate.  Not only do the Brit fans here get the nostalgia rush of seeing them in their original form but all comic historians can see how these American comics were repackaged for overseas audiences.

Not mentioned in Denis Gifford's Complete Catalogue of British Comics or in The Comic Book Price Guide for Great Britain, so presumably quite a rarity!

Astounding Comic nn is now up with the Original cover scan I added from Crime-Fighting Detective #18, find it in the UK section. Sorry but I couldn't find the original 'Real Clue Crime Stories' that these stories came out of at this time.

I glad to see this finally. I'm really enjoying seeing American material as it was repackaged for another audience. I've also enjoyed seeing material I probably wouldn't have seen otherwise.

Hi,
I see for some reason this upload cannot be previewed, and no thumbnail - any reason for this?
It was done in the same way as my previous uploads.
Jimpy
Title: Re: black magic uk 013 uploaded
Post by: OtherEric on May 14, 2011, 02:19:19 AM
There is, but I have no idea how to adjust for it.  Maybe Yoc does.

The file is cross-referenced two places, both under Prize and under UK comics.  Hitting download on the Prize listing takes you to the UK Comics page, where you can actually download the file and the thumbnail works fine.  But the listing on the new books goes to the Prize listing, not the UK Comics page, so when the software looks for the book to generate a thumbnail it finds a link, not a book, so can't create the thumbnail.

So that's why it's happening.  I just don't know how to correct for it, short of deleting the file and re-uploading it in two places.  Which I will do if need be, but I'll let Yoc try to fix it first.

Title: Re: black magic uk 013 uploaded
Post by: Yoc on May 14, 2011, 12:36:40 PM
Eric is correct.  The cross-post version will not preview or show a thumbnail because it is just a link to the UK version.  It saves us having the file uploaded twice while still showing it exists in more than one section on the site.  Many of the DCM Archive editions are the same thing.  Nothing needs to be fixed in this case.

 I'm familiar with the movie "The Man from Planet X," which was directed by Edgar G. Ulmar. Despite the film's tiny budget, Ulmar created a nice little atmospheric science fiction piece which is highly entertaining. I had no idea there was a comic book adaption, so I'll be taking a look at this once I get my flooded basement squared away (record rains this month).

 Thanks for posting the book.

Title: Marvel Family UK #56 FC only uploaded
Post by: jimpy on August 07, 2011, 10:45:50 PM
This is the FC only of UK #56, an improvement on the existing fiche of US #15. In Britain, the MF and Whiz Comics at this time were A4 size - just larger pictures. My #56 is 28 out of 32 pages - the Mary Marvel story was never included, and the centrefold is missing - last 4 pages of the CM Jr story.

Thanks Jimpy.
I notice the file name you uploaded is -
"Marvel_Family_056_UK_FC_cbz..zip"
It works but could you please use either '.cbz' or '.zip' and no extra periods.

I'll pull the cover and add it to the existing file when I get home in a few days.
Thanks for scanning and sharing it!

Captain Midnight UK #102. This is a B&W 28 page C2C reprint from 1952 of US #53 by L Miller. I have recently gone over to RAR - only because I wanted to open some of your files, and it has taken over -so I hope it is OK and will allow previews.

It works just fine J.
btw, Winrar will allow you to also make Zip files as well as rar.  Under Archive Format.

I'm renaming your file to 'Captain Midnight 053 (UK reprint)' so it shows in the proper order for the Fawcett section.

I traced some of the comic but the Kaänga story eludes me despite looking very familiar.

Cover is from Kaänga 14
'Suicide Smith' is from RANGERS 68
'The Ghost Gallery' story is from GHOST COMICS 01 (which is a reprint as well from unknown Jumbo issue.)

Anyone know the mystery sources?

Any idea on the Kaänga?  I'm sure I've seen it somewhere before.

I look through our selection of Kaanga storied books (Jungle Comics and Kaanga) and it might be one we are missing (#154, Maurice Whitman art was only in issues #124-163 according to the "Guide") as the logo used started around #80 something or so Yoc. I don't think I missed looking at any issues we have here. Was the stories ran in any other books besides those two?

I seem to remember reading (in one of Bill Black's AC Comics pubs, IIRC) that some Fiction House stories only appeared overseas-possibly stories still in inventory when the titles were cancelled in the U.S.

Throwing out another possibility

Actually, he was pencilling the feature almost exclusively from 114 to 163.  We have every issue except 154, which GCD has titled as 'The Fire Wizard'.  The story in the UK Jungle #30 is about the bad guys using a device to magnify the sun's rays and create fire.

Call me Sherlock Builderboy, but, I say its a reprint from Jungle #154
