    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?

    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...

    You have asked such a broad question!

    There is no one answer that covers all of comics history. There have in fact been, broadly, three means of reprinting comics since the periodical comic as we...

    (How to answer?) There was no "ending" to Lee's & Kirby's Fantastic Four or Thor runs in any sense except that, one day, Kirby was gone, and a couple of years later, Lee was gone. On the other hand,...
