Ah, I see, I thought this was for a recent collection or something. Still it such a pain. Even more so when you don't know it. LIke I didn't know about the Recolor of Flex Mentallo until after I read the new collected version from some years back. boy what a difference it makes.
This is actually why I hate reprints. Especially, the newer ones. Do NOT "improve" on the OG art.
It's IMPOSSIBLE and disrespectful to the original artists!
Yeah, it completely erases the work done by colorists at the time. Christie Scheele wasn't just some hack they got off the street, she's an actual artist! She does watercolor paintings now! She knew what she was doing back then!
Especially worse when neither the original colorist nor the artist behind the recolor are credited in anything other than small print inside the front cover. So many of these reissues dont even mention that they were colored!
