I...Thanks for the news Kelvin, and also to Mykal... I don't wanna sound like a snob tooting his own horn but I totally agree. And while the newer EC Archives and Atlas Era hardcovers are nicely produced, there's still something about them that feels too computery and removed from the actual vibe of reading a good old comic book, definitely the fault of the photoshop re-coloring and of course the slick gloss of the paper. I try to keep that newsprint vibe alive here at THOIA, as many of you know I take great care to enhance my own scans so you're not left looking at some murky old yellow and crooked comic page haphazzardly scanned with very little thought... my sincerest attempt is to keep everything about the story itself as close to the original product as possible, like it just came off the newsstand. It's always nice to hear that someone appreciates the extra time I put into my scans. I am definitely interested in seeing how these Fantagraphic collections are though, they're one of my favorite publishers (for example I just pre-orderd the limited edition Al Columbia collection that is FINALLY coming out sometime this month!)<br /><br />Okay, I've got something different lined up for tomorrow, a dedication to my son who is finally learning about the magic of comic books!

The color is too bright - too glossy. For my money, the wonderful four-color look is best served by high-res digital scans on the Internet like, well, right here! -- MykalMykal Bantahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12148489896145024134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-983171239671909762.post-50304632822364880402009-10-29T21:55:26.082-05:002009-10-29T21:55:26.082-05:00Karswell: regarding the fantagraphic forthcoming: ...Karswell: regarding the fantagraphic forthcoming: "Forgotten Horror Comics from the 50s" -- well, certainly not forgotten here at THOIA, eh, Karswell? -- MykalMykal Bantahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12148489896145024134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-983171239671909762.post-6709744620845484512009-10-29T21:06:09.198-05:002009-10-29T21:06:09.198-05:00Did you hear this news?:
