From experience, I can tell you that the lines we see on the printed Avengers page versus that art are easily explained and rather common. Fine lines get thickened from the plate pressing into the newsprint. On the last volume of Thor I restored, the line weight of Collettas inks I recovered from editor proofs was far Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6123927.post-48325579721442135592008-07-14T03:27:00.000+09:302008-07-14T03:27:00.000+09:30Very interesting issue you've highlighted here, Da...Very interesting issue you've highlighted here, Danny, one of which I was unaware (as I am of most such things which occur further down the line away from the original creator's perspective). I've read both your blogs on this subject, and although the issue is complex in many ways, there are certain basic points which stand out, all of which you've highlighted well.<BR/><BR/>Most importantly, I Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6123927.post-48510134964839628832008-07-13T06:28:00.000+09:302008-07-13T06:28:00.000+09:30as always, really good stuff.
