I didn't have this backed up somehow, anyone have this to hook back up for me? I'd hate to have to remaster it all over again, lol. The Most recent version was posted on the VCS board and sent via PM to some members here. Someone please hook it up! Thanks.

I uploaded what I have to megaupload for Moonchild. I think it's the version he's looking for. Waiting for him to verify.

When Acclaim re-booted the Valiant characters, they ran a couple of pages of each new title in Previews. Moonchild scanned and color-adjusted them and collected them all into 1 file and shared with members here.

Moon,

I've been out of town and just got back to my computer today. I have the complete PDF of Starting Over. I'm still looking for the JPGs as I think I have those as well. The date on mine is 5/15/2009.

I also have the original 26 JPEGs I scanned at 200 dpi. I don't have the remastered JPEGs you worked on, though.

Steve

OK, thanks to Steve Topper for sending me his original scans, I'll be cleaning them up digitally, without using any Auto Level adjustments or making any alterations to the original artwork whatsoever. What you will see is what was printed, and will be as close to an exacting reproduction as possible. I may additionally remove some of the blemishes in the letters and balloons. Give me a week or so to get it finished up. Here is a taste of what you will get. :)

Thanks everyone, yea the PDF was my first draft clean up, it looks really great but the final is even sharper as I used photoshop to make the blacks solid black instead of magazine faded black, essetially what it would look like before they pressed em up, nice and solid sharp black.

Here's the PDF for folks to check out the original 1st draft, thanks again to Topper for his original scans.

yea, the final was masterful, too bad its on my external that wont let me log in, figured someone on the boards must have saved it though! Keep lookin! :thumb:

I still have the original scans that I provided to Moonchild way back when. I'm on a business trip right now but should have them available this weekend if wanted.
