Massive, and I do mean a massive thanks to @mackensen !

When I bought a dozen of Total! issues two weeks ago, I noticed that a coupon had been cut out of a page in Total! 11 - November 1992 (UK).
The coupon page wasn't the problem as it's reprinted in the next issue, so I could swap that out, but the opposite side was missing the Ultraman review.

He came to the rescue, bought a copy of this issue and scanned the missing part. 😊

After a bit of tinkering, as different scanners create very different looking pages, I believe that if I didn't point it out, no one would be able to see that something was up with this particular page.

So now I can continue to work on this issue and release it soon without any missing sections. 🥳

@outofprintarchive It was my genuine pleasure to assist, and additional thanks @jalefkowit who made me aware in the first place.

I just finished levelling and cropping the pages, as well as doing the necessary rescans for blurry sides and bottom sections that got cut off on the original scans.
But I've been working on scans for 7 hours now, so I have quite the headache, so it's time to stop for today.
If everything goes right, I should be able to do the final editing tomorrow and have it ready for release on Sunday already.

Again, thank you so much for everything. 😊
It can be so depressing to buy a bunch of magazines and then see them arrive with missing pages or stuff that's cut out.
Had this happen with half a dozen of N-Force issues last year as well.
Luckily, I found another seller who had all of those as well as a bunch more SNES and Mega Drive magazines, so I was able to pick up intact ones soon after.
