Original Tales (vol. 1) TPB in jeopardy according to Dan

[DrSpengler]

So I sent Dan Berger an e-mail today asking if the short Nobody story from the original Tales TPB would be included in the new TPB that's supposed to come out this November. Here's the response I got:

Howdy Mark,

At the moment there are no plans to include the short Nobody story...
but at the moment, I'm sad to day that the entire project is in
jeopardy as we do not appear to have stats or copies of the artwork
from #1 or #7. I've been scanning in the pages from the actual
comics, but these need tons of clean-up, and there may not be time to
do it properly (unfortunately I didn't find out that we don't have
scans of the pages until this past Monday). I'm sorry to be the
bearer of bad news and I'm extremely disappointed and distraught by
this turn of events.

Thanks for writing!

I hope they find the art they need. Likely, if they don't, they'll just have to clean-up scans and we'll eventually get the book at a later date than this November.

Also, Dan's awesome. I sent him the e-mail this afternoon and got a response in, like, 2 hours. Even with his new workload the guy is still on the ball when it comes to fan inqueries.


I'm a little disappointed about the absence of the Nobody story. If it's possible, anybody who perhaps has scans of it or something, maybe shoot me a PM? I know this sort of thing isn't orthodox at these boards, but I'm dying to read it, it's not gonna be reprinted anywhere, it's like 7 pages long and very hard to find. If anybody could hook me up I'd be eternally grateful.
