No problem! Scanned on A3 as double page spreads and it made the fie sizes too big so I'm cutting 'em down.
Thanks for being so appreciative but I'm only posting other people's (amazing) comics on /co/! Hpefully speak later my dude

Has Sammy Harkham ever talked about how long this Blood of the Virgin storyline will run? Another question: what kind of stories are in Crickets 1 and 2?

Yes, on the Process Party pocast with him he's said there's three more BOV issues to go (and he has 8 pages 'til he's finished #7!). The Black Death story in Crickets 1 and is this weird, violently comedic story about a guy and his golem who encounter a madman, golem guy has been chased out of his vilage for his arcane experiments...gets arrows in his eyes and keeps walking and talking normally, and shit. The second issue is much more of a grab bag of short stuff, some gutter punk thing, more Black Death and a really funny story slagging off James Sturm ("so, you're still doing the Jewish thing?" (to Harkham). Both are good but the difference between the D & Q issues and the self-pubbed stuff is night and day, Harkham's making the best "literary"/S.O.L/"art" comics today, I think.

Pg 24--Bit of trivia--in his last TCJ interview Harkham says that the two old guys who are talking to the dark-haired stripper across the room are supposed to be Gil Kane and Charles Schulz. Which I find cool in a ridiculous kind of way. Once you see it you can't unsee it, they're good likenesses.

I think this back cover drawing of Jean D'Arc is absolutely wonderful, would make a great screenprint.

Well, hope you enjoyed it, damn that was a but arduous! Please support Harkham (and any self-publishers!) however you can, these guys barely make a subsistence level wage. Which is insane in light of their talents...thanks Anons!

>>94854989
thanks for doing this OP! this issue is supposed to be 32 pages. is there anything significant on the 3 pages you didnt post? can we expect issue 6 storytime in the near future? later this week perhaps?

I recently read the Everything Together collection, which was good/decent. I had read the early Crickets issues on Sammy's site a year or two ago too.

>>94855061
according to another source, it's 36 pages. there is nothing important missing from this storytime, right, OP?

>>94855061
>>94855637

Wait let me check, hope I haven't fucked up...hmmm...may have missed a spread and then confused myself chopping them in two...ah, sorry, there was a FOUR page sequence in the car ride at the beginning, will fix now. Many apologies, chaps...my heads fried from cutting up all the spreads, will just assiduously re-check and post again when I do 6, okay? Expect that tomorrow folks. Sorry I feel a cunt now

>>94855998
that's why the beginning felt so in medias res! lol. no worries, and thanks again for posting this. looking forward to the rest!

Hah, realised I scanned the cr scene twice, it actually does just jump into it after the title page with Josh simmons' letter etc...what I missed out was the scene between the drive and the arrival at the party--this lovely splash (nice font, don't you think?)?

>>94857401
that's a beautiful double page spread! counting these two pages you have posted 31 pages including the front and back covers, so there is 1 page still missing. or was it just an ad?

>>94856234
Also don't ya think Harkham is so good at creating believable spaces? Not many put the figure in a "real" space better than him, imho

>>94855637
Pretty sure it's #6 that's 36 pages? Will sort tomorrow and re-up this as part of #6. Apparently issue #7 will be solely devoted of Seymour's wife...listen to the Process Party episode! Very interesting. His Two (?) Inkstuds are fucking great also...
