![]() ![]() Not sure if it was the paper stock or how they were stored. While normal yellowing is present on a lot of pages, there is a group that has a pink hue. The pages have aged oddly, or at least some of them. Also seen are blue pencil notes, pasted in text, straight lines for the letterer in the word balloons, and an overall feel of the production. A moderate amount of correction fluid plays throughout. I only found one page to be a bit soft, and it was very slight. Too bad the colour guides weren’t available. The largest pages for this series previously published were the Absolute edition at 8.5″ x 12.75″. I don’t understand why the replacement pages come in two sizes: pages where no original art was available show 7.75″ x 11.75″ yet replacement pages on overlay are full size. It’s a unique perspective of original art and the process of penciler and inker. ![]() These are shown with Janson’s page and Miller’s art on an overlay. And there are a lot of overlays, as this volume contains quite a few of Klaus Janson’s original pages where Miller reinked some panels. That sounds like a lot, and it is, but considering there are 188 pages total in the story so there are 138 pages scanned from original art. Some of these fifty have some original art under them as they’re overlays with original redraws underneath. Fifty pages are not scanned from the original art. ![]()
