Does anyone else miss the style of comics from back in the day?
Let me clarify, does anyone miss the old newsprint paper, the 4 color dot pattern process and Zipatone gradients that gave the art a unique texture?
The upper left corner box with the small iconic illustration of your favorite character, or the old classic comic book art style which heavily relied on creative hatching and ink work to get the right shading and values?
The texture and gloss of the old cover pages and the comic book smell.
Maybe Im just old but today’s comics seem more like small magazines with interiors page being hyper-glossy, and covers with heavyweight paper. Feels almost too clean, antiseptic or synthetic.
Theres probably other stuff I missed but you get the idea.
