I haven't posted here in quite some time, and while the Atlas Scan Project as a collective succumbed to entropy, the work still continues. I maintain a 4shared page with all the latest scans and scanning information. You can find a link on the right. I believe you need to sign up for a (free) 4shared account to view the page, otherwise you get a notice about the link being invalid. In the future, I will probably post a list of the newest scans which you can pick up at the 4shared site.

Happy Halloween!

And what better way to celebrate than with... crime comics?

Okay, I've got some new scans for the group:

Adventures Into Terror 005
Complete Mystery 001
Complete Mystery 004
True Complete Mystery 005
War Combat 004

That finishes off the Complete Mystery/True Complete Mystery series.

Files are available at the repository link at the right, as always.

That is not dead which can eternal lie

Greetings!

It's been many months since I've posted an update, and several of you have asked what's going on. The short answer is that I just dropped the ball.

I've still been buying, scanning and selling books, but because I wasn't keeping track of anything, I haven't updated anything. There have been books that were purchased, in my mind, as part of this project*. Those scans were released but not attributed to the group out of sheer laziness on my part. (If I didn't release them as ASP books, I didn't have to reconcile the spreadsheet. Or so the thinking went.)

What I've done is reconciled the spreadsheet from October, and just disregarded most of the activity for the last 8 months or so. This will work in ASP's favor, as all ebay sales I've made in the last year just served to whittle down the finances. (Seriously. When you buy a book for $200 and sell it for $125 (Cap America 73), or buy for $135 and sell for $75 (Whip Wilson 9), you start to feel like a chump.) The only books I added to the spreadsheet were the two uploaded to the ASP 4shared site.

I'm not asking for, nor will I accept any further donations, but I'd like to put the remainder of our money to a better and more transparent use.

I'd also like to get some feedback on what to buy, so if you've got some suggestions or a wantlist, post it!

Heyooooo! More!

Some new scans have been posted:

01) Blackstone the Magician 004
02) Cowgirl Romances 028 - Thanks Gambit!
03) Romances of the West 002 - Thanks Gambit!

I am still editing Marvel Mystery Comics 083, I will likely finish it this weekend.

Welcome Back, Kotter

Once again it's been a loooong time since the last update, and once again I apologize. This will be a brief update.

There were a few new purchases in since the last time I updated; the good news is most are scanned:

Black Rider Rides Again 001
Blackstone the Magician 004
Marvel Mystery Comics 083
Venus 001
Whip Wilson 009

There are 12 new scans are available through the Project Repository link on the right:

01) Black Rider 019
02) Black Rider 020
03) Black Rider Rides Again 001
04) Cowboy Romances 001 - - thanks Gambit!
05) Cowboy Romances 003 - - thanks Gambit!
06) Rangeland Love 001
07) Rangeland Love 002
08) Romances of the West 001 - thanks Gambit!
09) Venus 001
10) Western Life Romances 001
11) Western Life Romances 002
12) Whip Wilson 009

There are four outstanding scans:

01) Blackstone the Magician 004
02) Cowgirl Romances 028 - Gambit to edit
03) Marvel Mystery Comics 083 (currently editing)
04) Romances of the West 002 - Gambit to edit

I sold a majority of the books I had on hand. As usual, we lost money on most. I believe the worst was the Whip Wilson 009, as we paid a premium because it was CGCed, and we took a hit when I cracked it to scan.

Summer vacation is almost over!

Three more books have been scanned and uploaded. 3-D Action 001 has finally been finished and uploaded, thanks to Tomander, who did an incredible job cleaning the book up. It looks fantastic! In addition, Marvel Mystery Comics 092 and Sports Stars 001 have been uploaded.

We've sold several books, and I purchased Black Rider 19 & 20 for the group. Spreadsheet has been updated.

There has also been discussion of the next book we are going to buy. Brigus has found a copy of Whip Wilson 9 for $150. When I first heard the price, I was aghast! That seemed like a lot to spend on a Western. Then I looked it up and realized it's a steal for that book. We'll close on it sometime in the next week.

Below is the current status of all books I am still holding:

01) 3-D Action 001 - scanned, uploaded, sold
