BangZoom Posted May 5, 2007 Author Share Posted May 5, 2007 just a quick question BZ...outsite of the AA 16 and Adv 40 (both great, as you know)...are we going to see the Tec 27 or Supes 1 or Marvel 1 or Whiz 1, etc? (you can always watermark the jpgs, if you fear someone swiping for ebay scams, etc) just curious (and a little more anxious) gator I might post them as part of a group photo, but I doubt I'll be posting scans. I already have seen that lots of images are being used around the Internet. All-American 16, Adventure 40, and a bunch more, for example, are up over at the GCD site. I think, at least at this time, I'd like to keep some of the more special comics a bit more private. Maybe I'll change my mind at a later date.

BangZoom Posted May 5, 2007 Author Share Posted May 5, 2007 I was having a difficult time trying to decide which comics to scan today and which to scan at a later date. So, I grabbed a stack of books and threw them in the air. Those that landed front cover up, I'm posting today. Those that landed with the front cover down, I'll post some other time. Today's offering: Catman Comics - # 30 (Continental) L.B. Cole Cover Exciting Comics - (Nedor) # 2 Funny Pages - (Centaur Publications) V 3 # 7 - 1st Arrow Cover Porky Pig - (Dell) Four Color 16 (#1) Prince Valiant - (David McKay Publications) Feature Book # 26 Wonder Comics - (Nedor) # 9 Schomburg Cover Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crowzilla Posted May 5, 2007 Share Posted May 5, 2007 I might post them as part of a group photo, but I doubt I'll be posting scans. I already have seen that lots of images are being used around the Internet. Unfortunate, but not surprised. You could always put a watermark on them when you scan, or stick a big post-it note in on the cover that says "collection of BZ" so people would be less inclined to steal the images. Can't wait to see the Funny Pages (especially since that is one great cover) later today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you looked for books over the years, were there certain publishers that seemed more difficult to find? Your selection of Continental, Centaur, and Nedor certainly puts those in mind, but I'd also be interested to hear about the early Harvey & MLJ stuff. Also, was Catman a title that you saw much demand for over the years? In my experience that's a title that only really gained popularity in the last 15 or so years after the Photojournals were published. Are there books (a la Feature Book 26) that you identified early on that were absolute "must haves" that you now don't see much appreciation for? Thanks in advance.
