I wasn't aware of the addition of the 75% value. Was that for all the books, or just the Baxter/Prestige/New Format books?
Thank you for bringing this to the discussion!
255 colors on pre-digital comics? You're being generous.
Prevailing practice was to have cyan at 100%, 50%, and 25%; magenta at 100%, 50%, and 25%, and yellow at 100%, 50%, and 25% (an early issue...
Recoloring comics in reprint is not a new thing. From the start, when publishers started saving film, they tended to save only the film for the black plate. They probably figured it would be cheaper...
There are two problems, as I understand it, with digital. Neither is insurmountable, but both can be labor-intensive to overcome.

There is a lot to love in Kirby's 1960s work at Marvel.
My personal recommendation is...
Not too surprising... Long gone are the days of comics reaching customers within 48 hours of binding.
Last I heard, Diamond is taking twelve (12) days to process, ship and deliver comics to retail...
"Collected editions"?
That's probably an anomaly of Mike's Amazing Dating Methods—I would bet that on Marvel's publishing schedule, the two issues were in separate months. Don't know about the bimonthly thing, though.
Would it really have cost anything extra to create Classics as its own, independent board?
No, this is a metaphor.
BOO HISSS!!
This was a colossal mistake, CBR. Save your own face. Admit it and reinstate the forum.
