Talk:Adventure Comics 308

Cover Scan

I have no cover to scan in (or any way to scan it in if I did); could someone do this?He Who Wanders 20:28, 9 August 2007 (PDT)

I am slowly working my way through all of the covers. Generally speaking, the older an issue is, the longer it takes me to get a good clean image, because I have to spend time Photoshopping out creases and tears, correcting fading/yellowing, etc. The very oldest covers (and the more battered copies in my own collection) may take me 2-3 hours from scan to finished image (60-90 minutes is typical). I've been trying to balance my attention across all eras/periods, so that no one time expanse gets neglected, but what that generally means is that for every old Adventure issue I upload, 4-5 issues from some later period come next. However, at this point pretty much all the primary Legion issues outside of Adventure are represented, so I will prioritize the Adventures. You're creating new pages faster than I will be able to produce the images (and please, don't let that slow you down). For now, we'll either have to wait for me to fill in the covers for the pages you create, or you can focus on issues for which covers have already been uploaded (check the Adventure publication history). If there are issues that are particularly important to you, such as Adventure Comics 328, I'll be happy to prioritize those - just let me know which issues you are most interested in. If you prefer to go through them chronologically, I can do that too, but just keep in mind that the older the issue, the longer it will take. Late Adventure issues will probably take half the time as the older ones. -- Gopher 06:07, 10 August 2007 (PDT)

Thanks for the explanation, Craig. So far, I've been writing the entries in chronological order, but that may change at some point. (In fact, after next week, I'll be teaching and won't have as much free time; that's one reason I'm doing so many in one stretch.) I didn't mean to sound as if I were pressuring you into scanning the covers; please continue to do so at whatever pace and in whatever order suits you. I just wanted to make my own limitations clear.He Who Wanders 15:03, 10 August 2007 (PDT)
