Boy Comics 3 3

Use some archival tape that can be removed later without any damage done?

Enjoy it,regardless!

[vaillant]

I always use archival tape – I just have to find a better one, as Filmoplast darkens after some time…

Detached covers make it easier to scan the first splash page.

[vaillant]

Yes, in fact they make it easier to scan whole books.

But in this case I bought the #13 mostly for the cover. I will probably leave it as is anyway.

[porcupine48]

Excellent.

And lmk if you upgrade!

Enjoy friend...I know you are/will.

God bless!

I'm teaching myself podcasting, so for my first test run to learn the ropes, I did one on Boy Comics. If anyone is interesting in listening to me talk to myself about Boy Comics, here it is:

Love this one with the insane asylum cover. Biro was just over the top.

Some of my favorites which may have been posted before but nice to see again.  The issue number 3 is highly restored but it is nice to read the origin story and compare it to the revision published in #30.

Unfortunately, Crimebuster was not actually on hand to stop this in the actual story, in which the woman's husband tightened her straightjacket so tight that it crushed/suffocated her to death.

Thanks for checking.

 

Yes, the description you give of the centerfold matches what I have: there is a single page (not another wrap) which is attached (glued) to the centerfold.

The other one is glued to the first wrap with the opening and closing ads, and this indeed makes the overall page count of sixty.

 

It definitely seems it was manufactured this way: the two single pages are neatly (mechanically it seems) cut with an "abundance" and the stapling job definitely looks unaltered and from the manufacturing process.

According to the Keltner Index 60 pages is the correct page count. Issues 11-14 were all only 60 pages.

Thanks for resurrecting this thread. What a great resource and fun read!

I was at a sci-fi convention yesterday in Boston and wore my Crimebuster cosplay outfit. Even though I accidentally left my stuffed Squeeks at home, not one but two people recognized the costume! I've worn this outfit to a few comic book shows before, and previously the only people who knew the costume were the world's most usual suspects - Roy Thomas, Mark Waid, and Kurt Busiek. Having two regular folks recognize my Crimebuster costume pretty much made my day, and it wasn't even at a comic book comvention. 

The tide is rising! The time is getting ripe for a Crimebuster comeback!!
