Target Comics- Current status

[OtherEric]

I've recently uploaded a LOT of issues of this title, both from JVJ's collection and my own.  It seems to be a reasonably popular title with others, as well.  I wanted make a quick separate post looking at the scan status of the series.

We are missing the following issues, with the exception of the Target stories if they exist:

Volume 1: 3, 6, 7, 8, 10

The following issues are incomplete as follows:

Volume 1
     4     No IFC IBC
     5     No IFC IBC
     9     No IBC
     12    No IFC IBC

Volume 2
     1     No IFC IBC
     2     No IBC
     6     minor IFC damage
     7     minor IFC damage
     8     No IFC IBC
     11     1st page damaged
   
Volume 3
     3     missing CF
     4     No IFC IBC
     10     many pages have some damage
     11     1 pg damaged

Volume 4
     11     IFC damaged

I guess this is as much a plea for fills or the missing issues as anything; I'm bidding on one of the still missing issues right now.  And hopefully somebody can provide fills on the incomplete issues.

And my huge thanks to everybody who has scanned issues of this title, in particular to freddyfly for having done so many, and Bill Nolan for having shared so many of the stories over at Pure Excitement as some of the first comic scans I (and a lot of other people) ever saw.

Thanks for the listing Eric and congrats to you, Len and the others for doing such a great job on this title!

Bill Nolan's old site Pure Excitement (Click here) is STILL online gang.  It's one of the grand-daddy sites of our hobby.  Bill did a wonderful job back when most were still on dial-up connections sharing individual stories in something like today's blog but not exactly the same.

It's a fun way to see a variety of stories, all of which can be found on DCM as well.

So, anyone out there with some of the missing books or pages to help finish this book off?

Take care,

While as usual confirmation of the book's condition will need to wait until it arrives, I just won a very affordable coverless copy of v1 n5; first Spacehawk!

We'll get there eventually, at least by guide value that's the 2nd most difficult of the issues we still need to get.

WOW!  That's great news Eric.
Congratulations!

 That's wonderful, Eric. I love Wolverton's Spacehawk and I would be delighted to have a chance to read the first Spacehawk story.

List updated to reflect recent posts by FreddyFly and myself.

I've added a link to this topic in the Target description area on the download site.
Thanks for all you've done towards our goal of a full run of this title gang!

Just won a coverless v1 n12 on eBay, or more accurately jumped all over a buy it now at $30.  So we should be down to 6 issues missing not counting fills unless something glitches on the way.

Congrats Eric!

Updated for the latest addition.  There's actually a coverless copy of #7 on eBay at the moment, but $225 is past what I want to pay for it.  Yes, that would be a reasonable price for a coverless copy IF the entire value of the book over the 6 and 8 wasn't because of the Wolverton cover!
