[Phil]

If anyone's got a better scan of the first two images please upload them/let me know!

[Le Messor]

I'll try to remember to make some scans on the weekend.
Can't promise they'll be better.

[Le Messor]

... In a strange twist, I have remembered; but I've also looked at the two scans you want replaced, and question the need.
What's wrong with them?
The worst I can say about either is the (inevitable) crease-lines around the two-page spread.

I'm really not sure I can do better; not without my special technique for getting rid of two-page-spread creases, which I really, really don't like doing (you can probably guess what it is).

[Phil]

Yeah, the crease is the problem. I'd rather have it how it is than not at all, but thought I'd put it out there for all, as an option.

[Le Messor]

I admit I'm now a little confused by your asking for a scan of the first two images, then... typo or was there a different problem with the first? (Which doesn't have a crease.)

[Phil]

Possibly the stain around Mac, possibly I just meant the double page spread of the second image.
I might crop the first one anyway, to be fair.

[Le Messor]

I've got the issue out for scanning. Mine doesn't have a stain around Mac, so I might scan in the first page when I do the two-page spread.

[Le Messor]

Okay, I'm about to enclose two new scans:



Whether they're better or not, I leave up to you. The crease is still visible in the second, but much, much less intrusive. There's no stain on Guardian in the first.
However, my copy of this issue is yellowed with age, and it shows on my scan - the scan we already have looks much more crisp and clear.

(That said, when deciding, have mercy - try to think about what I had to do to my comic to get that two-page spread as uncreased as I did.)
