Tri-Color Brian

And a few Archie's I've had for awhile...

A few new pickups...

Re-scanned my #1 recently to fix colors that were "off"...in 1979 the American Comic Book Co. in Studio City, CA called it a NM. Guess they just didn't notice that piece off the top left corner...

People who have that kind of money for funny books aren't too smart sometimes...

Nice books. That #56 almost has the feel of a grey tone cover...I might need to get one of those.

This is a very misleading cover (at least it was to me). The 2 top stories are in issue 19, while the Mxyztiplk story is in #30. The cover makes it sound like the top stories are separate books... Here's the books the stories are in...I had #30 restored in the early 90s because it was a rag...

And a few more...

Here's a few more Supes I bought off the spinner rack at my drugstore that managed to stay pretty nice...

Thanks. I'm your age...so... And I don't know how that survived in such nice condition. A lot of my rack bought comics did, and a lot didn't...

I seem to have missed a lot of this thread. I'll post this one now...bought off the stands...

And these I just re-scanned...

I think I forgot to show this...

Here's my latest Four Colors...I never knew Donald was a surfer...

Huh!...I bought a couple Four Colors today...here's one of them...

Maybe Terry doesn't advertise like he used to. Remember when he used to do those TV commercials and the announcer would say, "Here's Terry O'neil and his dog Spot"? He used to always end the commercial with a jingle that said "Go see Cal Con, Go see Cal Con, Go see Cal Con". I loved those, except for all the used cars. I don't know what they were doing in a comic con commercial...

Can't remember if I've posted these before or not, so here they are...

I never knew Ed in person, only from an ad he placed in the old CBG in the 90s. It's always sad to lose a member of our community though. R.I.P Ed...

Because I don't know if a new dirt cheap scanner will do a better job. There's a whole discussion on scanners and what they can do in the Baker thread. I just don't want to deal with buying a new one. I'm learning how to manipulate mine better, and I'm also learning more about my photoshop, so the books are looking a lot better and I enjoy working on the images. And really, I haven't seen anyone show a scan on here that was exactly how the book was supposed to look. I think we all have the same problems.

I know what you mean. I spent a lot of time with that book in photoshop to get the colors as accurate as I could. My scanner just doesn't do the job. The Haunt 17 was a real nightmare too...

Re-scanned some of my ECs...got the colors much closer to reality, if not right on...

Mine is an Epson V500 PHOTO model. If the fantastic colors you refer to are on the latest Photostream pics, those are the re-scans and tweaked colors. Some of them are still off, but close enough. Great info BTW. I appreciate your expertise.
