I'm back with fresh images to 3 Batman guides.

 

First up are both issues of the 2-parter that introduces Captain Fear, with exceptional splash pages throughout.

 

These are awesome value, as both guides (43 Pages) can be had for $200 with the 20% discount. :gossip:

This issue is from the Knightfall cross-over.

 

I've seen an invoice that shows this color guide cost $200 when originally purchased.

 

Now available at a fraction of that price.

What is Color Guide Art ?

 

Just like their original art counterpart color guides are a unique, one-of-a-kind, item and a key part in the production process of a comic.

 

Color guides are a photocopy of the original art that is hand painted or colored by the colorist. The comic artist sometimes adds handwritten notes for changes to be made to mood or tone, which shows how the finished comic artwork evolved through production.

 

This color guide is then used for the computerized color separations. Some pieces will have color "codes" written on them to depict the actual color used for that part of the page or notes from the colorist to the separators. Others will either not have the codes or they will be on a separate overlay. The dimensions for colorist art are primarily 8.5" X 11".

I am surprised that any of these vintage Captain America guides are still left but hopefully, after people see how good these pages are, that will change.
