This is pretty good for printing, but tiff would be better format, if you
want it to not to loose any data. Sometimes you might need to scan comic
pages with "desreen" filter, it omits moir? -phenomena that comes from
scanning images with halftone (small raster dots).

The bigger the dpi is the better quality image you'll have and bigger file.
Saving for web is usually 72 dpi.

PS. please don?t send html- or any RTF formatted messages to DCML. I guess
they will not be readable in Digests.

>your cover scans are on http://outducks.org

I have tried to research details on the early 1930's Mickey comics and have come across the following book: "Disneyana Classic Collectibles 1928-1958" by Robert Heide and John Gilman published 1994 by Disney Editions.
The first Mickey Mouse Magazine giveaway series began in January 1933 and ran 9 issues until Sept. 1933. The cover scan submitted used in Outducks (Inducks link) was for April 1933 and accordingly is the fourth issue of that series. The second or Mickey Mouse Mag. Dairy giveaway series began in November 1933, without overlapping the first series, and ran until Oct. 1935. However the third or Mickey Mouse Mag. retail (sold) series began as a "Summer Quarterly" 1935, at 25 cent price. The second issue in that series was in Oct. 1935 (overlapping the Dairy giveaway series). From that time until the end of the retail series in Sept. 1940 the price of this series was 10 cents.
Another scan submitted was for Mickey Mouse Comic No. 1. This scan now appears in Outducks under "Mickey Mouse" which is the heading for all comics titled Mickey Mouse beginning wth the Dell issues published after the Four Color Issues. I suggest that Mickey Mouse Comic No.1 should have its own entry in Inducks and Outducks simply titled "Mickey Mouse Comic". This comic appeared in 1931 before all other Disney comic books, was essentially like an annual one shot with 3 others appearing in the next 3 years, and had a different size: 10" by 9 3/4 inch.

>I consider after Romano Scarpa the duet D. Rawson (script)- Caesar Ferioli (art) as some of the best on Mickey.

My favorite are Francesco Artibani (scrip) and Tito Faraci (script).
Enny body seen Aneveresery Mickey and Pete Steamboat Willie story they made? It was Just briliant. Wen it's come down to "Moust Funny Mickey Mouse story" this is defenetive my favorite one.

Is Scarpa still active as a writer, or is he just an artist nowadays?
If he's still writing, Scarpa of course.
If not - Byron Erickson.
