| Could it be true ??
This crazy guy who decided to scan ( with lots of help) and edit over 2,400 pages including front and back covers, FINISHED the last page today ! All I need to do now is find a standard to compress the images (which are currently in high quality TIFF extensions) into smaller sized PDFs. It would be ideal to fit all 54 issues plus extras on no more than 2 DVD-Rs. After I mess with different possibilities of PDF compressions, I will be contacting Doug Van Pelt to find out what he thinks I should do with this project. I personally believe there is a market for this, and after all my countless hours of donated work on this project, I pray that God can make a way for it to be made available to the masses and be a blessing in multiple ways. I think the ideal time to release such a product would be 2015 as that marks 30 years of HM and would be a cool way to celebrate. But that's up to the big guys who own it now. We'll see. | |

| I would be interested in them. Heaven's Metal was the last metal magazine that I really enjoyed reading. | |

| I could NOT have done this project without DVP's approval and for the donation of scanned pages from:
Phil Valentine (Trouble72) for scanning the majority of the project Ryan Jennings (stevegarveyfan) for allowing me to scan his private collection of the first 17. Darth Creek and Bruce Harapcio (Rawk84) for saving the day by filling in missing issues. And Mike Nair for providing higher quality scans of pages that were too damaged to edit.
Without them, I wouldn't have every page from issue 1 thru 54 to even edit.
I just hope the new owners of HM Magazine don't "shelf" this project. I would be devastated. | |
