Zonker Posted April 5, 2005 Share Posted April 5, 2005 From the scan, your copy appears to be thinner than normal for this issue. Are you sure it's not missing a page or two? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjpb Posted April 5, 2005 Share Posted April 5, 2005 Great cover! You have to love comic book science - the fireball is hot enough to melt a car 20 feet behind those guys, but they're not even getting a tan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tth2 Posted April 6, 2005 Author Share Posted April 6, 2005 Okay, brought in a few books to the office to scan, and will post them over the next few days. The sad thing was realizing that I just don't own that many 10 cent books. I need to do something about that... As mentioned in one of my other posts, I'm getting some glare from this scanner wherever there is "rippling" of the inner well. I tried moving the book around and holding it in different positions, but just couldn't eliminate it. Any suggestions on how to combat this (besides "buy a new scanner") would be appreciated.

Scrooge Posted April 6, 2005 Share Posted April 6, 2005 You could always liberate the comic from its slab so there wouldn't be any glare I would seriously be no help with your problem as I own zippo slabbed books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great book, Tim. On the glare issue, I've seen people ask about this quite a few times. No one has ever come up with any solution other than "buy a scanner that scans slabs well." My HP 7110 works great, and everyone else I know who has an HP also gets good results. Cannons are supposed to be garbage with CGC books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tth2 Posted April 6, 2005 Author Share Posted April 6, 2005 Cannons are supposed to be garbage with CGC books. Yes, I imagine they would have a rather explosive impact. Perhaps you're taking your interest in war comics a little too far? My old Epson worked fine with slabs. The scanner I'm using at the office is a Kodak. As you'll see from some of the Turoks that I post later, the scans come out fine when the inner well is smooth, but any ripple at all creates significant glare.

Also, I have no interest in war comics -- apart from flipping your Sgt. Furys for a substantial profit, that is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, when I replied, I thought you were Adam. So, I'm fair game? Bring it on! Be careful what you ask for, you may get it! I would've made the "cannon" comment regardless of who made the initial post. My comment about interest in war comics was only made because I thought it was you. If I had realized it was FFB making the comment, I would've had to tie "cannons" into some new laser cannon being concocted by Mr. Fantastic or similarly Marvel-centric statement so he would get it.
