For some reason, I think color would be essential for me with Archie comics. On the other hand, with westerns and crime comics and the like (I just got a massive 500-page B&W Don Winslow Of The Navy from Gwan), it seems less annoying. It also depends on the precision of the drawing on the original and the particular colors used....some transfer as more blurry and imprecise, and are less appealing in B&W transfers. The main selling point of these B&W ones is that they are 1/3 the price of color, and in some of the "giant" ones (like Don Winslow), more like 1/4 or even 1/5 the price of the color. It's hard to turn that down.<br />I purchased four of the early 60's PD Archie reprints, but got them all in color. Gwan is focusing on Dell reprints right now, but I'm sure they'll get around to another wave of Archie PD material soon. I think I like the 63-66 Archie material more than you do. I am still devoted to classic Archie. When I have to wait somewhere, like a doctor's office or the tire shop or the DMV drivers license office, while everyone else is staring into their phones, I will often have an old Archie digest in hand, and they always manage to satisfy, killing time in an entertaining manner, and that's what it's all about...<br /><br />BILL S.Bill S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07573129431937332002noreply@blogger.com
