    Color wtf? One of the main reasons why I read fricking comics is because it’s color.

        >look at me I think I’m smarter because I think things that are black and white are more adult
        Go frick yourself. The color in cape books make it more unique to me and standout and why I prefer it over manga.

      Color or for Leafy is it 'Colours'...like the French Trois couleurs Rouge. Japan toons are ok, I understand the want for Anime Manga is a world where Hollyweird and US entertainment dies ...but the lack of color is terrible, a lack of effort and like going back to watch Black and White Tv, they should be able to easily to this in Japan with the digital and ink technology but the media are cheapskates. It is only a matter of time before some other Asian company moves in on the territory and SKorean movie productions and movie are also far superior.

    Depends on the inks

    Depends. Some inks desperately need color to work and in other kinds of inks the color is just a distraction. If all else is equal I prefer color, but in real world things are hardly ever neat and equal.

        Motherfricker there paste ups on that page, computes did not help in the making of it.

          Are you implying you can only trace with a computer? Wally wood’s most famous quote is about pasting. There’s always been lightboxes (where do you think the term came from) and projectors.

            if it was traced(which I doubt), there sure as hell weren't 3d models made on computer he was tracing.

              I’m not that anon and I completely agree. But it was certainly traced.

              If it wasn't made with a computer explain this. They couldn't achieve this transparency effect without a computer. You can also see the paper overlay going over the entire page.

                Anon stop being moronic. That’s called cutting and pasting. As in with scissors and.. well normally tape but you get the picture.

                It’s almost like you zoomers never worked in publishing at all. Even my school paper used to do layouts like this.

                The art is definitely traced though.

                I made comics for a living before, I know what the frick I'm talking about. Scanners don't pick up transparency, instead they exerafion it.

                lol okay Pete simeti. That’s clearly a physically inked page and scanners absolutely do depending on how thick the paper and how bright the scanning light is.

                the image is the Brian Bolland Art book that came out recently showing original pages so a lot of the overlays that were used to make speech balloons have faded after 40-50 years this video shows off some other pages

                there are transparent materials once can use. Vellum paper, for one. Pre-digital, paste-ups used to be used a lot in comics- and they're almost self explanatory, paper pasted onto the page- either lettering or corrections. Or it could simply be faded from the paste.

                I’m not that anon and I completely agree. But it was certainly traced.

                What makes you think that? was it REFERENCED? very likely. but I've seen Bolland's process and he can construct a photorealistic face from scratch.

                I made comics for a living before, I know what the frick I'm talking about. Scanners don't pick up transparency, instead they exerafion it.

                Given the era, these would've been done by photostat instead of scanners.

    No, vehemently so. That being said they need to get the price of floppies down. So it’s a necessary evil. cheap paper, black and white and no variant covers.

    Save the pinups and color and premium glossy paper for trade paperbacks.

    depends on the artist, some artists are great in black and white and shit in colour and others are the opposite

    I hate digital reproductions that blotch all the movement in old comics.
    I think my best experience with X-Men for example without the floppies is probably the essentials line.
