What is an Artist's Edition? Artist's Editions are printed the same size as the original art. While appearing to be in black & white, each page has been scanned in COLOR to mimic as closely as possible the experience of viewing the actual original art-for example, you are able to clearly see paste-overs, blue pencils in the art, editorial notes, art corrections. Each page is printed the same size as drawn, and the paper selected is as close as possible to the original art board.

Editions include DAVE STEVENS' THE ROCKETEER: ARTIST'S
EDITION and WALTER SIMONSON'S THE MIGHTY THOR:
ARTIST'S EDITION, JOHN ROMITA'S THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN: ARTIST'S
EDITION, WALLY WOOD'S EC STORIES: THE ARTIST'S EDITION, SERGIO
ARAGONES' GROO THE WANDERER: ARTIST'S EDITION, AND DAVID
