Title: Startling Comics #21
Post by: krankyboy on August 05, 2013, 08:52:07 PM

There seems to be a page or two missing from the Four Comrades story in Startling Comics #21 (recently uploaded). Page 49 shows the foursome escaping the hoods, but then page 50 has them in costume being locked into a cellar by Black Satan.

Nope, the story's all there.  It may be a little choppy, but it's complete.

Hate to correct you, DM - -but I just checked it against Freddyfly's incomplete version of SC #21, and there are indeed two pages missing from the Four Comrades story.

I decided to just add the two pages from Len's scan to the more recent version. Perhaps the same can be done for the version on DCM so that it's complete.

All apologies! :-[  ETA:  Not only are you right, you're more right than you *knew*.  The copy we had was missing 8 pages!  I was able to substitute 6 of them from our earlier version, but it still leaves the last 2 pages of the Don Davis story unscanned.  But for you, we might have missed 'em all.  Thanks!

Yikes!

Well, at least now it's closer to being complete than before!  :)

Hi, gang:

I was about to comment on the missing pages, since it was supposed to be a 64-pager.
My old scan is far from great, so I'll re-do at least whatever pages I have that are missing from the LOC scan.

Well, all we need are the last 2 pages of Don Davis, Len.  I've upped for approval a version that combines the version just uploaded with 6 pages we had from your scan.

Hi gang, sorry for the mess I made of this edit.
I stupidly didn't compare it to the existing scan trying to get it up as fast as possible.  No excuse for this though.

Thanks to everyone for trying to get as complete a copy as possible together.

You're okay, Yoc.  Since 8 pages were missing, it's easy to assume it was a 60-page book.

My old scans were done on an old scanner and aren't very good so I'll re-scan at higher resolution

Hey, that's great news, thanks Len!
