    High Quality Mini-Comics (Where to find or Start it Myself??)

    So I have about a dozen original Mini-Comics and on my quest to find the rest online to read, I have discovered He-Man.org (and other sites) only have low-res scans, which got me thinking:

    Does anyone have High Quality scans of all or any of the Mini-Comics?

    And if not:

    Would anyone be interested in a group effort to create a High Quality Digital Collection of the Mini-Comics, available to everyone?

    I'd be happy to scan and share mine (and maybe we could update He-Man.org's database)

    I think it would be great to have a digital collection available seeing as it can be pricey to buy all the originals, and I haven't heard anything about a collected TPB.

    Any thoughts???

    I think some of the scans are pretty high-quality. Like "He-Man and the Powersword"

    You mean that more mini-comics could be scanned in this size?

    That'd be awesome!

    To be honest, I'm not a fan of comics being available online in high quality. There would be fans who'd use them to make their own high-quality reprints. And after that, it's just a matter of time before the first guy offers those illegal copies on eBay.

    Like maybe in a 12x12, with a nice hard cover.

    Digitally Restoring Mini-Comics

    OK, so I've downloaded all the mini-comics and maybe it's just me, but I can't stand reading scans that are crooked and poor colour (O.C.D. perhaps?). Although I do appreciate that people have gone to the effort to provide us with the mini comics, I've been playing around with some and following is an example:
    HeManVengeanceOfSkeletor12.jpg
    Page21a.jpgPage22a.jpg
    Without actually owning most of the comics I can only guess at the colour and when viewing comics on a full screen (with a program like Comic Book Reader) it makes all the difference. At least I think so.

    I'm doing this for my own personal digital collection but figured I'd see if there are any thoughts or interest from anyone?

    And who runs the main website? I figure if I contact the right person I could update the mini-comic section.

    Same ought to be done for comics as well.

    Just login there and you can replace any existing scans.

    If they advertise their auctions somewhere, it's just a matter of posting links to the original images into the same thread to thoroughly pwn them.

    Bump. So there's really no digital collection of all the mini comics? I would love to sit back and read them all again. If anyone has a file of all of them or knows where one could be obtained, the info would be appreciated.

    I'd love to read the resent ones that came with the classics figures, Im not sure how it stands as far as putting theses on the net, is there a certain amount of time that needs to pass before they can be shown?
