BangZoom Posted October 28, 2011 Author Share Posted October 28, 2011 Nice cover. Am I remembering correctly that a while back you said someone was scanning all the John Carter stories? If that's correct, what's the status of that project? DCM used to have them all up at their site, but not anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theagenes Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 Love the store stamp on this one and brilliant colors too. Very nice. Thanks. It's actually the Western Publishing (Dell) file copy stamp. I've got the file copy for 3 of the 4 John Carter covers. I know some people don't care for the big stamps, but I love 'em.

Theagenes Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 Nice cover. Am I remembering correctly that a while back you said someone was scanning all the John Carter stories? If that's correct, what's the status of that project? DCM used to have them all up at their site, but not anymore. I'm still working on it. I picked up the set of George Delacourt's bound copies of the whole JC run so I have all the issues now. I don't want to crack bindings by scanning the though, so I'm having to photograph the pages and fix them up in photoshop, correct for parallex, etc. But I'm about a third of the way through. It's actually 168 pages total, so it's pretty big project---I'm going to try and have it done before the movie next spring. If it's not too cost prohibitive, I'd like to make some print copies, but we'll see. Here's a sample. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

excelsior1986 Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 Heres the pic of the revealing detective cases i picked up for a dollar. There was also a Revealing Confessions and a Revealing Love Stories magazine published in the 1940's. Is there anything of note in the magazine? Not sure yet.

Yellow Kid Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 Great work, Jeff! Maybe you could list the books you don't have in low grade and people could loan them to you to copy as it would save a lot of time and effort. Or even send you disks with scanned pages?

I did get some help from several people (including you of course) and traded some scans. It's mostly the issues in the 40's that I'm missing.

BangZoom Posted November 2, 2011 Author Share Posted November 2, 2011 I was looking through some scans in my collection last night and stumbled across another example of a man-eating plant trying to feast upon some helpless soul. Thank goodness Superman was nearby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdjunker Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 But why collect clocks? Fantastic! Clark almost exactly quoted Einstein's Theory of Relativity! I love it when the science in old comics actually works, and this is probably one of the most off-hand mentions I've seen! BZ, you do find the best stuff!
