The old pages look really flat in comparison. What they need to do is compromise 'though. Keep the original colour scheme, but add the '3D' effect where needed.

The best example of this is in stuff like Marvel´s Premiere Edition hardcovers and Marvel Masterworks where the original coloring is touched up, mistakes are corrected and the end product looks better than the original comic floppies.<br /><br />Then there is this 3D coloring where the old comics are recolored to sell them to a modern audience who could not cope with the regular recoloring and where the comics are colored as if they were produced Today. While it does look good and shine very often the art gets buried under the colors and sometimes you can´t even see what´s happening on the page. <br /><br />Now I´m not saying this is a bad thing but I think the second form of recoloring is better for people who don´t know much about comics and just want to read the story. If you have any interest in the art though you should avoid it. This may sound harsh and " old time guy - ish " but I recently bought a hardcover with the first issues of Walter Simonson´s THOR issues and you can barely see his art. I did not spend fifteen bucks for shiny colors, I wanted Walter Simonson THOR.

Loved it through and through. And I quite enjoy the new volume with the recoloring, though I know some who have objected. Like the old practice of colorizing movies, it's not a problem for me since to colorize the vintage flick they had to pretty much restore it first. Having different versions is no problem at all. <br /><br />Rip OffRip Jaggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09936426877024852134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3740495193314269367.post-11868445277313753192016-02-22T20:47:42.206+00:002016-02-22T20:47:42.206+00:00Never mind, Phil - that means you'll have twic...Never mind, Phil - that means you'll have twice the money to spend next year.Kidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07224781868125924337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3740495193314269367.post-87685036862365585352016-02-22T20:26:32.987+00:002016-02-22T20:26:32.987+00:00Preach it brother!

Years ago, the 2nd Masterworks volume of the FF suddenly switched paper from glossy to matt for part of the book (must've been a mistake at the printers), and the colour looked far better on the matt than the glossy paper.Kidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07224781868125924337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3740495193314269367.post-17098462155790930032016-02-22T18:41:53.505+00:002016-02-22T18:41:53.505+00:00Yeah I do like the whole package the original pape...Yeah I do like the whole package the original paper, colours etc - I do think the new better paper needs the 3d type colouring as I recall picking up a "glossy" paper version of Adams Green Latern/ Green Arrow run and for me it was awful compared to the classic original version and that was probably because the original colouring wasn't up to the new paper.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11166190927603182073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3740495193314269367.post-88020616839994347892016-02-22T13:57:58.218+00:002016-02-22T13:57:58.218+00:00You're not talking about just the original col...You're not talking about just the original colour scheme, but the actual printed result I take it?

I find modern comics literally so dark I can't see what's going on. Particularly when you have shiny paper which reflects light and light bulbs. What I do like about modern color is its doesn't bleed and you can tell true colors. If you look at Gabe Jones or any Asian characters in old comics, you often went , hey. I think thafs a human why are they coloring him that way? Why is Gabe grey? Why does Shang Chi look orange ? Philnoreply@blogger.com
