First off, thank you for helping us make CPG the best comic resource on the web. Here are some guidelines to upload comic cover scans to the database. If you don't see your scan approved within a 2 week period it might have not been up to par, please review the items below and make sure the scan meets all requirements.
First off if you are new to scanning comics, take a moment to read a quick step by step to scanning I have here at my website. You can also see some examples of bad scans that will not make it into the database.
Covers must be:
- 1. Cropped properly. No background showing.
- 2. No digital camera pictures.
- 3. No covers with URL, company watermarks or logos.
- 4. No covers with scanline patterns will be accepted.
- 5. No covers scans with the comic still in the bag and board.
- 6. No grainy or blurry scans.
- 7. Adult covers with nudity must be edited with black boxes.
The only exception to the above rules are Golden Age covers.
We are a little more flexible with these, due to the rarity of getting a cover scan.
If you are scanning in your own covers to upload I recommend a 200 to 300 DPI setting and then resizing the covers to a 350 x 535-pixel size before saving. This is a standard I have used for a few years that makes a good clear scan without being a huge filesize.
Thank you for helping to make CPG the best comic site on the net.

Sirs & Ma'ams,
I just became a member and came across a bunch of Mad Magazines, in the #300 to 400 range. A lot of the cover art is missing for these and I don't have the option to upload a scan. I have uploaded a few to my collection, but I would like to add to the community. I'm in the process of resizing them all right now. Wasn't sure if I needed to be a higher level member, only a "Gold 1".
Thanks in advance!!
CP
CPG has all the pics for Mad #300-400, they show for me. Are you searching on Mad Magazine, or just Mad? Just use Mad, CPG doesn't use the Magazine part. Sometimes the thumbnails don't show due to a glitch, but it gets fixed when reported. and anyone can upload pics. when you see the Missing Image thumbnail, you can click that and add pics in .jpg or .png format.

if you're trying to upload your own pic to your own boxes, that's only for paying members, not for bronze. so that's the reason it works now.
