    For those who remember, I have a good reason for asking. :) I'm wondering if this is the complete comic. While it's certainly not fit for print, at least it's a copy....

    If it is the whole thing, let me be the first to say nice find!.

    Although I don't care much for the comic sans font. :(

    Yes - it certainly looks the same length as when it originally came out.

    The only thing that seems to be missing is the animation.

    So Jeremy if there was no way to find the original animated file to convert over, would it be possible to somehow use photoshop(or some equivalent) to clean up and enhance these screen captures so that they would be printing worthy?

    >>"would it be possible to somehow use photoshop(or some equivalent) to clean up and enhance these screen captures so that they would be printing worthy?"<<

    I'd say so. As an experiment I fired up Photoshop and turned the horribly blurred frame here:

    [image=http://www.rebelscum.com/comics/swprelude0-07.JPG]

    into this,

    [image=http://img75.photobucket.com/albums/v229/Tam_Elgrin/prelude_sharp.jpg]

    Bear in mind that I'm a mediocre Photoshopper at best, so someone at DH with more experience and skill would be able to do a far better job.

    An observation: I had to "rewrite" the text box as it were, the original text was lost when I sharpened the image. This could be a good opportunity to remove the Comic Sans font maybe? It does look rather unprofessional.

    I'll look into it. I suppose, if we can't round up better source material, that would be our best option.

    I'll keep you posted. Though it might take a while for the answers to come...

    Well, you could use the Yodajeff.com's screen captures along with rebelscum ones to pick the best screen captures between the two.

    Rebel Scum is the most complete version of the story however, with the most frames. YodaJeff's site appears to be missing frames.

    I think I've seen several different sets of screen captures. I checked and I have three different versions. Two are probably the ones listed here, but I can send the third to you Jeremy if you're serious about it, but I think the quality is not as good as the other two.

    This information could probably help in finding the original source material:

    Pete Janes (writer)
    John Nadeau & Jordi Ensign (pencils)
