My former copy - I don't know who has it now.

Here is another from Heritage. I once missed out on a beater BIN copy on Ebay that had brilliant, deep colors and I wish I'd kept a scan. The reds were deep and the blues and yellows were pure.

It would interesting to have a gallery of copies of each issue to see just how variable they can be. This one was in a sales thread.

I find it interesting that even when the reds are bright, sometimes the blues are faded to a slightly greenish hue.

 

No one answer seems to fit all cases.

 

But I do think it would be interesting to do as you suggest.

 

Here is my #1. Any variations with other boardies copies?

Not much difference that I can see at first glance - Jeff's and mine seem to have more yellow of a logo, while Billy's and Michael's seem more orange to my eye.

 

Hard to tell with different scanner settings and such.

 

I sure Planet 1...

[Timely]

A friend of mine has a nice Planet Comics #1, perhaps he'll come along and post his copy too.

[Artboy99]

Mine looks much like the 8.5 above, I will post it when I get home as Photobucket is blocked where I work.

Hard to tell with different scanner settings and such.

I have had 4 different scanners (Epson, Microtek and two HPs) and each, in their own special way, distorts the cover colors. When I take a picture, its colors will be different from any of the scanners. Each of those images can then be imported in Photoshop and altered further.

 

I've not found any scanner or Photoshop adjustment that I'm fully happy with.

I am late to this thread, good read so far. As far as Planet 1, outside if a truely sun faded cover, all the Planet 1's I have ever seen were very close color wise. There seems to be certain issues that are more prone to color changes and other issues like #1 that has pretty consistent coloring. As someone states earlier in the thread , the only true color evaluation can be made when books are aide by side. Consider the three books below, this is the exact same book with scans from 3 previous owners

The rocket ship looks almost magenta.

I hate my scanner. But I'm too mean to buy another.

I need to get a copy of that #15 now.
