ORIGINAL MARVEL & D.C. COLOR GUIDES - CLOSED.

r100comics · October 18, 2012

Hi Boardies

This sales thread has been running in the Mixed Age Selling Forum but many people don't venture there so I'm moving it here where it's more active.

Standard airmail is subsidized to $12 (actual cost $18) for a single guide.

I'm happy to combine guides for shipping but accept no responsibility for anything over $100 sent without Insurance and Tracking.

No Hos'ers or Probies.

Thank you for looking !

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".

Writer - Brian K. Vaughan

This is interesting as the Colorist wanted to change the background on two panels. So he cut 2 pages from a space periodical and slipped these into the color guide so the person doing the color seperations could use the "space" background in the comic instead.

I've included a scan from the comic so you can see how the finished background changed.

JLA (Vol 1 - 1997 series)

European buyers only. :news:

These Grant Morrison 1997 series JLA Color Guides are on a high quality, heavy cardstock, so a complete guide can weigh up to 3KG. This means they'd cost more to ship to the US than they are worth, so these are only open to UK boardies.

All copies from #17 to #25 come with an individual signed and dated letter of provenance from the colorist Pat Garrahy. Very cool.

All come with a copy of the published comic (except #29).

The prices below include the 25% discount, so are exceptional value.

Writer - Brian K. Vaughan

Pencils - Robert Teranishi

This is interesting as the Colorist wanted to change the background on two panels. So he cut 2 pages from a space periodical and slipped these into the color guide so the person doing the color seperations could use the "space" background in the comic instead.

I've included a scan from the comic so you can see how the finished background changed.

JLA (Vol 1 - 1997 series)

European buyers only. :news:

These Grant Morrison 1997 series JLA Color Guides are on a high quality, heavy cardstock, so a complete guide can weigh up to 3KG. This means they'd cost more to ship to the US than they are worth, so these are only open to UK boardies.

All copies from #17 to #25 come with an individual signed and dated letter of provenance from the colorist Pat Garrahy. Very cool.

All come with a copy of the published comic (except #29).

The prices below include the 25% discount, so are exceptional value.

Let me know if you'd like to see any scans. (thumbs u

Thank you.

Man, those color guides bring back memories.

I did pre-press production for Mavel from 1992-1995 at American Color in Buffalo.

Part of my job was to make sure the color guides were keyed corectly.

Were you working for Graphic Color Works?

Most of the color seps were done by AC, GCW or Reynolds out in Canada.

Hi Rich

That's interesting, I didn't know you were involved in these. It's fascinating to see how the coloring and mood / tone progresses from the guides to the finished comic.

I wish I'd worked there, sounds like a fun job.

These guides were purchased directly from the various color artists over 10 to 15 years by a big UK collector who kept them in storage for another decade. I bought them all from him last year.

Do you still have any guides from back then ?

Or maybe you'd like to get a few as a reminder of your time there ? :shy:
