Description

From the UK weekly Star Wars comic.
In the omnibus reprint of these stories, there are screentones applied. If they were in the original comic, perhaps they were applied to a photostat for publication?

Wonderful classic Infantino Star Wars page! The SW Infantino pages I've seen had screentones applied directly onto the original pages. I could be wrong, but I'm thinking they got peeled off at some point or Marvel digitally applied them for their omnibus volume.

The UK weekly pages often had added tones applied as the issues were printed in black and white. Sometimes it would be on the original boards, or sometimes added to the production art it seems, just from my own observations through the years. Check out this article by UK collector Mark Newbold. He includes a great scan of Star Wars issue 1 page 1. If you compare to the US version, a lot of screen tones were added to the laser and explosion effects in the UK printing that had been handled by the color work in the US printing. Unfortunately that particular page does not appear in the IDW artifact edition. But, looking at the pages that were scanned in that book, I do not readily spot screen tones on Chaykin's boards, and I suspect it was all added later in production on stats for the UK printing. To Han's point, I'm not sure anyone would have taken the time to peel it off. But age certainly could have seen it fall off pending storage conditions. Looking forward to seeing what my fellow SW collectors have to say! Or, might be a question to toss Jeff Aclin or Howard Bender on Facebook as they did a lot of that tint work and recap fill-in pages for the UK books.

The page has no residue or discoloration, so I'm guessing tones went on stats if it's on those origianl comics.
