Re: Scanning images

I'm trying to set up my own website of my own work, and the scanner I currently have leaves the image quite blurry, without much resolution. If anyone can come up with some suggestions, preferably the cheapest option, it would b...

Collecting Long runs

Hello again! Thought I'd better reply after all the fuss I kicked up! What can I say? I love comics! I haven't had the chance to read them all but I'm working on it!
