Good stuff. Done and done! (I like how it said $1.00 edition... Hmmm there all $1) 😊
I also added #4 direct edition which was missing.

Mickey Mouse Australian publisher prices not US $

I was a bit tired when I approved that. Forgot to change the amount when I approved them. I changed the shilling to what it should be .12 cents equivalent. and the 9 pence is 9 cents equivalent. It is the price of the books that why I wrote them in the info box.
I had no idea you sent a message to them, my apologies for taking that info from you.
I too have asked CPG to add a drop down box for selecting a correct amount for a book/title. I never really got an answer for that either (maybe its time it happened). It's unfair that any foreign price it has to be in American dollars/cents when these books are certainly not.

All added, Well done in finding them Defiant1.
I left the HC and Soft Cover cause I didn't want them lost in the database. I think there fine where they are but thanks for the request.
Also, for some silly reason I had trouble using your #3 newsstand & Special edition pictures... I found another #3 but the special was harder to find. I did add one but its crap.
Try posting it again for me and I'll see if it works again or not.

I thought they were all png files. I spot checked and they were a mix of jpg & png. The special edition image was hosted on tumblr.com


Here's a jpg hosted on postimg.cc where the others usable images were stored.







That worked.
Added, Thanks.

At some point, I'll check what scans are showing for Armor (Vol. 1) & Captain Power. I have newsstand & Direct scans for those series' also.

Cyberrad (Vol. 1) has been been more of a challenge, but I think I have them all. I'd like to upgrade the quality of the images I've found. I don't think there is a newsstand version of #7. #1-6 are confirmed.


The CPG site has one of my images for a Cyberrad (Vol. 2) #1 which I call a newsstand version. I believe it to be a newsstand version solicited through the direct market without a hologram. I *think* that newsstand versions with a bar code from Continuity Comics ended sometime between 1991 & 1992 but I haven't pinned down when they stopped.


My web site list 2 comics that I've never actually seen. Megalith #0 with a red foil logo and CyberRad #1 (Vol. 2) with a gold foil logo but without hologram) Rik Offenberger listed the Megalith #0 with the red foil logo on a web site many years ago, but I never got an answer from him where the image had originated. He showed a red foil on the cover, but most people scanning comics know that all foil will scan as black due to the reflectivity of the foil. CyberRad #1 (Vol. 2) with a gold foil logo and without a hologram was solicited on Neal Adams site in 2002.


My Continuity site:
http://comicchecklists.coolpage.biz/Continuity/index.html

Here are some comics I actually photographed with a digital camera on a tripod facing down. I was frustrated with the foil not showing as silver and gold as they should.

Nice work you've done there Defiant1.
When your ready send them through.
As with your scans I notice the gold foil better then the silver. I did have that problem with SSM #189 silver and gold hologram and WoSM #90 silver and gold hologram, but they both are noticeable (well to a point).

Hey Defiant1, I had trouble with the pictures again Lol. I couldn't download the files securely. I found one for #11 now worries but your #1 UK price variant wasn't as easy to find. I added the missing variant without a picture though. https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/drag-strip-hotrodders/pjwvi -Gil.

Eras or ages in Comic Collecting

Same here. When I look up something from my own collection I have to remember the title and company so on... Can be a pain sometimes. But the "age" would separate it from the clutter narrowing it down and be faster to find.

Do you have the picture of #6. It is "High Flyer" ?? . could not see "but not just Batman?" written on any covers.
Can you post the cover picture of the one your talking about.

Awesome thank you so much, yes I have more Australian books to up load and I will add them as I go and let you know if they are not in the system, yes this was a good find and it's hard to find good old original books made and published in Australia as we always find plenty of reprints that are worthless.




That's great, I'd like to find a few of those one day. I was very lucky to grab a hand full (not many) Aussie Underground books form the early/mid 90's that aren't listed anywhere but on CPG. They do not come up often. Look forward to see the uploads.
