Title: Operator5 uploades
Post by: Operator5 on March 21, 2013, 12:08:02 PM: Mel Allen Sports Comics #5 (actually #1), Standard Publications, 1949.
Cover to cover. GCD: http://www.comics.org/issue/306074/ (http://www.comics.org/issue/306074/)
This book was found in a very old bookshop in Lisbon, Portugal, alone amongst some rather adult publications. I'm betting the kid who took it overseas, so many years ago, never imagined it would end up here.

New Heroic Comics #50 (Eastern Color, September 1948)
Cover to cover. GCD: http://www.comics.org/issue/6967/ (http://www.comics.org/issue/6967/)
Rescues at sea! Life-guards! Rooftop battles! Scoutmasters! River rescues in Harlem! Hydrogen explosions! Robbers arrested! Fur robberies! Vanishing towns!
Tales of valor and heroism... and a cat and dog rescue!

These are my first scans/uploads, I hope you enjoy!

There's always room at the table for new members.

I've renamed this topic so you can add anything more you scan here.
Thanks again. Love the avatar.

I know... :/ I only though about it after scanning. Waste of a good scan.

Ah well, next!

I don't have much that is in PD, but these were on my "to do next" list:

Forbidden Worlds #136
Space Adventures #54
Adventures into the Unknown #160

I suppose they are ok, but can't do any harm in asking :)

Cheers,
Nuno

Please also hold on the Space Adventures #54, we only host books to Dec. '59. Now CB+ may be able to host that issue, Narf you want to chime in here about that issue?

Post by: Yoc on March 22, 2013, 11:44:15 AM: HI Nuno,
Just sent you an email before I saw this post.

Sorry about the non-PD scans. I've got some bad news for you.

Checking Forbidden Worlds it only went 84 issues and all have been scanned.
But there are no rules against a second scan of the same book on DCM.

We don't share ANY comics published after Dec, 1959.
So we cut off Space Adventures with #31.
We also cut off Adventures into the Unknown with #112.

I checked CB+ (http://comicbookplus.com/) where they WILL share post 1959 comics in some cases.
Space Adventures #54 has already been scanned. http://comicbookplus.com/?dlid=12684 (http://comicbookplus.com/?dlid=12684)
Adventures into the Unknown they say is only public domain until #146 so best not scan that either. :(

I'm glad you posted this list. I hope this saved you some time.

Take care,
-Yoc
