Title: Superman Dailies 1942-1946 Post by: binarysunrise on July 06, 2007, 12:12:28 PM I just got this volume back from the binders, and thought I'd share with all of you. It covers the Superman daily strips, complete from 1942 to 1946, picking up at the point that Kitchen Sink press left off.
(http://www.dpbanks.com/images/bond_jun07_1.jpg) It is the first of many volumes I am making for my personal collection, but the hundreds of hours of prep work (and the impending triplets) mean the next volume will probably be quite a way off. I made an extra copy that I'd like to share with some publisher in hopes that someone will realize that these classic stories need to see the light of day again.

It's very frustrating to know this exists and I can't just get it off Amazon or anything.

Title: Re: Superman Dailies 1942-1946 Post by: binarysunrise on July 06, 2007, 11:40:14 PM Most of this volume were digital captures from online historical newspaper databases. Towards the end there is a bit that were based from photocopies, and then towards the end of the next volume I'll have to start tackling my 1,000's of pages of microfilm printouts. In either format, I cleaned up the images (deleting junk artifacts in the pictures), organized them in a massive word document, and printed them out on a laser printer. :)

Title: Re: Superman Dailies 1942-1946 Post by: binarysunrise on July 07, 2007, 11:13:09 AM The only free one I know of is the Toronto Star, that offers access to 1945 for free.

The other trick is that papers didn't carry the entire strip, and often the ones that did missed days, or there was poor archiving of a certain day or week. Still trying to finish the last 2 years of the newspaper.... |
