But I would like to see original prints of the reprints to satisfy our curiosity.spiros xenoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01162947951011029392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-369688223742758322.post-75688284857530808422008-02-20T10:25:00.000+11:002008-02-20T10:25:00.000+11:00Interesting to actually see one of these compariso...Interesting to actually see one of these comparisons, Spiros, after reading various descriptions of the Eerie Pubs modifications. While I can understand the reasons for such changes (added gore content to increase the shock factor, and additonal shading to compensate for the B&W printing), I'm still puzzled at the seemingly random and blobby nature of some of the heavy blacks in some of the Eerie material that Gredown reprinted. Was the printing really that crappy in the US originals, or is it due to sub-standard printing in the Gredown reprints?<BR/><BR/>Markmcannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14910600095739217044noreply@blogger.com
