Have the same reservations about the coloring too.<BR/><BR/>My oversized Russ Cochran reprints are much better.<BR/><BR/>Not much Fritz stuff either.Dominic Bugattohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12038691868661688196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5945797282643956922.post-18997435105255415122008-09-10T16:59:00.000-04:002008-09-10T16:59:00.000-04:00I did pickup the Frazetta Comic Treasury book..

But I certainly would've preferred that they had skipped the color. And simply stuck to presenting the actual 'Original Art'in the best way possible..<BR/>As seen, in some of the examples printed in the 'Intro' and 'Foreword'. If they couldn't locate the originals.. I'd have to think that a camera-freak like Frazetta had a lot of "film" of the art pages?<BR/><BR/>For me, the Coloring simply gets in the way of fully enjoying Frazetta's artwork. And much of the coloring, is quite garish & gaudy, in my opinion.. Way too many Photoshop filters and Gradient fills, etc. And failed attempts at creating "modelling" on faces, that really don't need it. <BR/><BR/>The flatter coloring found in most of 'Personal Love' stories, (keyed from the Fantagraphic comic reprints) seems a more logical approach. <BR/>Though I did like the subtle colors applied to the EC "Squeeze Play" story. Which I'll assume was keyed from the printed color scheme of the 50's comic-book.. <BR/><BR/>For a fanatic like myself, it's no biggie. I already have most of the stories, in multiple formats.<BR/>For me, the highlight was the Caniff-styled "Judy Of The Jungle". Which I'd read/heard about, but never seen..Rich Dannyshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18113049270902804804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5945797282643956922.post-39934643191599708372008-09-10T13:19:00.000-04:002008-09-10T13:19:00.000-04:00How about the book on Frazetta's comics?
