RedRaven

RedRaven, I think it's a cool idea but reproducing an entire copyrighted story on a commercial website is probably not fair use.

I'm not gonna debate fair use cause honestly I am not sure what exactly that means beyond my limited reading on it. Hopefully no one has a problem with it but I'll gladly yank the scans(if Arch doesn't first) if it becomes an issue. Until then enjoy!!!

RedNails from Savage Tales 2,3 is live in the Mag forum. I'll try n' post Frost Giant's Daughter later tonight.

If anyone has a favorite Savage Sword story lemme know and I'll see about compiling it.

Thank you!! Maybe we should start a post specifically to show case storys that the average joe might never have a chance to read. Would that work?? Any thoughts??

Sounds great to me. I have a complete Savage Sword and Savage Tales digital archive to draw from.

Snork.

I thinking about peach cobbler...

There's an American Pie joke in there somewhere, but I just can't get it out.

 

Yeah, that peach cobbler can be mighty sticky.

Actually I just made a peach cobbler... seriously.

There's a joke about fruity shoes somewhere in there but I just dont wanna "get it out".

thanks for the kudos ThirdGreenHam. I have a thread in the testing->sub forum where the -script lives. If you decide to use it just keep in mind that if you post multiple copies of the -script in the same thread you will have to customize a lot of stuff in order to keep the scripts from cross-polluting each other. I'm working on a post in the sub forum where you can enter the img URLs and the press a button and it will spit out a completed -script for you to cut n paste. Hopefully will finish it this weekend.

I changed the URL to the straight IP with port so if you can't see em now then there is something in the -script that your browser doesnt support, although I did try to keep it DOM level 1 which every browser should support.

The problem is that I use a webserver from my home and I have to redirect traffic from the default web port (80) to port (81) as my ISP blocks port 80 so people won't do what I'm doing (host a webserver). In some versions of IE6 the redirect triggers some kind of security flag and the browser invalidates the URL. I use IE7 with no problem but my standalone unpatched IE6 I use for testing can't see the images. My brother uses IE6 and see's the images just fine, so there is some patch state where the images work in IE6, I just don't know what that is.

And odds and ends.

I've never been a fan of keeping something a mystery just so others don't take advantage of it. Yeah, you run that risk but I think a lot of people would rather have some type of guide to determine a real copy from a fake than have it in limbo until someone decides to come by and do just what we are (hopefully) trying to do.

I think the guide would only allow someone to determine that their issue was not the originally counterfeited copy. It would not allow them to determine their copy was authentic.

There was a website as well as an old ebay sale that had image comparisons between a fake and the original. I googled for the website but couln't locate it (last visited the site about 2 years ago).

I've always assumed that once the inconsistencies between the 'original' counterfeit and the ashcan became public it wouldn't have been long before someone produced new and improved counterfeits without the telltale mistakes.

That'd be good ol' Bob Larkin from Marvels 'Monsters of the Movies' #2.

I remember an order from New England Comics back in the 80's where they chunked in a 'Usagi Yojimbo' #1 and a 'Boris the Bear' #1 as the free issues they used to stuff in each package. Pretty sure I threw em both away.

Shiverbones, your user icon is creepy.

Is that Ernie Chan?? Cant decipher exactly what the last name is following Ernie ...

I am floored.

Never seen that one before. Can someone elaborate a little on its rarity and value?

 

October, You could say that this is probably the rarest Warren book out there. At least top 2. It has a dismal print run of 400 copies. I'm not even sure how they were distributed to newstands? Maybe just on the East Coast. But Warren, printed this book in order to secure the name House of Horror. If you had heard, Warren had done some work in the European market working with some of the Hammer Magazine groups out there. Where there was a little bit of a falling out as I understand, and Warren caught wind that they were going to create a new magazine titled House of Horror. Well they did, but Warren got the rights to the name first so the House of Horror Mag that was created by the European publisher had to pull their copies immediately. There might be some corrections to be made in that statement, but that is how I understand the situation.

 

As for value, it is really up in the air. I've seen copies go as high as $450+ in stated FN/VF, but they dont come up too often. So I've only seen 2.

 

-bounty

Bounty (as usual) is on the mark with his info on this lil gem. That being said, let me interject my ego err opinion. Its definitely a rare Warren book, the print run gurantees as much but it is by no means the rarest... Being that 'House of Horror' is a non-comic it opens the door for rarity comparsions with all Warren mags. This includes the original magazine 'After Hours' adult magazine. I'd daresay that few (if any) on this board have ever seen an 'After Hours' #1 in person. Also, the Vampirella HardCover had a run of 500 (of which almost half were destroyed when they came back from the printer). And then there is the insanely troublesome Eerie#1 which I have given up on as I will never be able to convince myself on the authenticity of any of these copies that find their way to market. The Illustrated History of Heidi Saha is another that deserves mention, however for the most ridiculously rare Warren we have the '1961 Famous Monsters Convention Book ' which was handmade, only 3 exist and they are all in Forrest Ackermans personal collection. Woe to the Warren completist.

Here's another I already had scanned. Frazetta at his best.

 

Just an FYI, that cover was originally supposed to front POW #1 which Wally Wood had convinced Jim Warren to produce as an adult oriented mag (22yrs and older).
