Adventures of Shoney's Big Boy Covers Part 1 of 3

Adventures of Shoney’s Big Boy Covers Part 1 of 3

The following covers from “Adventures of Shoney’s Big Boy” are missing. For issue #36, there is a cover in the core but it is for the “Adventures of JB’s Big Boy” variant - I’ve added the Shoney’s version below. For issues #22 and #68, there is a cover in the core but I’m uploading a greatly improved one.

Also: in the core, the “Format” drop-down item is blank from these issues and should be “Comic”: 4, 14, 22, 36, 40, 68, 74, 76.

ISSUES 3, 5 - 13, 15 - 25

Looks like Adventures of Shoney’s Big Boy and Adventures of the Big Boy, Vol. 2 are duplicates. I will have to merge the 2 first

Ahh never saw the Vol. 2. I see it now.

As an FYI, there were 3 variants of most if not all 76 issues. Shoney’s was the primary chain that had this comic, so that’s why the Shoney’s version dominates in listings online. But - two other restaurants, Azur and JBs, had this.same comic with their name in place of Shoney’s, and their menu items inside. The comic stories were the same.

Yeh found that too. Seems like there are not that many Azur editions out there. I have merged them into “Adventures of Big Boy”. I dropped the volumes from the titles

Thanks @CLZ_Justin ! Hmm, looks like it split somehow. This is what I show after updating from core.

Hey @CLZ_Justin , I decided to go ahead and update from core and I see a lot has been added / updated! Thank you!! Here’s what I show that’s left:

  • Issues 20, 23-24, 27, 34-36, 52, 56-57, 59, 62, 76 missing the Shoney’s cover
  • Issue 68 has a cover that’s not full-screen

Are the images I uploaded for the ones still missing problematic? I’ve uploaded some images before that looked fine but was told they had a watermark. If that’s the issue I’ll try to find other images.

Hi, still working on this series. I’m on a short trip for a few days. Will continue this on Monday!

Thanks @CLZ_Justin ! Yeah this is a lot of stuff, I appreciate it!!

Most of the picture you posted here have mycomicshop watermarks. Won’t be able to use these unfortunately

Aaa okay - man it’s hard to see them, I didn’t even notice the watermark. Let me get some better images and I’ll add them here. Thanks @CLZ_Justin !

Naah it’s okay. Already went trough this eries and have merged a double entries. I’ve added as much as I could find (Shoney’s/JB’s/Azar’s)

Well @CLZ_Justin , I see there’s only 3 left - 20, 23, and 34 - so I scanned my copy of 20 and 23 and found a clean image of 34 online! This should finish it up. Thank you again for everything!!

Added!

Nice, thank you very much @CLZ_Justin !
