Ah, you mean do I know ...Do I know 'if'? Ah, you mean do I know 'that' - yup, I did, McScotty. Like you, I also don't think it's Leo's work, which I mentioned in the post. I usually slightly increase the contrast on my scans to make the pages appear cleaner and brighter, so I'm wondering if that's giving the impression of the colour being more garish than it was. I actually liked the colour on the Eagle Eye strip in the previous but one post. (And would that newsagent's have been Johnny's, or did you use others as well?)

Grimly and Leos work especially at Odhams (along with Ken Reids) are my lasting memories of UK comics and every time I see their work Im taken right back to being a kid in Rutherglen eagerly rushing home from the newsagents with my comics to read their latest work (even although Im pretty sure this is not Leos work) - <br /><br />Personally I don't think the colouring in annuals at this time was very good as it always appeared to me to be a bit harsh / bright.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11166190927603182073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3740495193314269367.post-76098239965252407242015-01-30T03:56:48.334+00:002015-01-30T03:56:48.334+00:00Do you mean it's better or worse, BS?Do you mean it's better or worse, BS?Kidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07224781868125924337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3740495193314269367.post-46925893292075783512015-01-30T03:09:51.217+00:002015-01-30T03:09:51.217+00:00You ought to do an item about the colouring in ann...You ought to do an item about the colouring in annuals; it really does seem to bear no relation to its other print cousins.B Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16618583443442543086noreply@blogger.com
