Suggestions / Colouring of comics
16 April, 2002, 07:18:40 PM
Don't want to sound too strict on you 2000AD people (STILL the best comic mag ever) but the colouring of some stories leave a lot to be desired..I'm taking the latest issue and specifically Escape from Atlantis to prove my point...It's plain crap..I mean the colours are too glossy and too bright, the characters are too crudely pictured and quite frankly it completely ruins what I call the "Magic of Judge Dredd", that mixture of dark imagery and macabre action that characterises most the series...

I'd like to know if the on-going trend towards using computer programs to colour the comics, rather than the traditional paints, is to blame for seeing this phenomenon lately and whether any other readers here think that this process of automisation is really a step forward for the comic industry...
