Or I could just scan them in as pdf images.<br /><br />Would you be willing to host them here?<br /><br />The earlier ones would require a little care, since the ink has partially bonded the pages together, and to the cover of the binders I stored them in. The later issues, stored in boxes without binders, are just fine. Go figure.<br /><br />I don't have the time to do the 'whole partial' run I have right now, but maybe in a month or two I could take a weekend (or maybe as a winter project...)<br /><br />BTW, I was the B5 fan who joined the LSG for one outing in '99 (Jack Kessler).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18787738.post-62042717930560664592009-08-02T23:50:04.209-05:002009-08-02T23:50:04.209-05:00Is there anything in those old Omnicoms that's...Is there anything in those old Omnicoms that's worth scanning and posting somewhere, if only for historic purposes?Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15001530336692435773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18787738.post-22873983339328002202009-08-02T22:59:13.255-05:002009-08-02T22:59:13.255-05:00Dave, any idea which ish of the old Omnicom that f...Dave, any idea which ish of the old Omnicom that fanfic was in? I recently found a part of my old printouts, which spans from 15-47. <br /><br />Like Linda, I am going to be hitting Wizard World Chicago this weekend, and the plan is to bring out my B5 post-boot costume I debuted there 11 years ago. Assuming I can get the belt pieces I need touched up.

I'll have to download the issue tonight.<br /><br />The panel I'm looking for somewhat resembles panel 2 on the right-hand side, I think it's vertical and has several people (as I mentioned, one of them has a moustache). <br /><br />I'm pretty sure that the girl at the bottom of panel 2 on page 5 is supposed to be Johanna Draper (currently at Comics Worth Reading) and the guy with the beard in panel 4 is her future husband KC Carlson.Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15001530336692435773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18787738.post-90654252301757985392009-07-23T13:37:34.591-05:002009-07-23T13:37:34.591-05:00re:crowd scene
