"For most of the 1960s, DC did not have the 25% and 50% shades of
yellow, giving them only half the tones shown on the chart. That’s why
Marvel’s coloring looked so much better. Eventually, DC started using
the shades of yellow, and from then on, their coloring had the same
number of tones as Marvel. I remember enjoying DC’s late 1960s reprint
books much more than the originals, because the color was so much
better than the originals."
Anyone ever notice this?
I noticed they used a butt-load of hot pink (100% magneta?) especially
on covers.
