DescriptionThis sweetie is the overlay hand-colored by Steve Oliff to page 5 of “Edgar Allan Poe’s The Black Cat” in Pacific Comics's *Berni Wrightson, Master of the Macabre* #1 (June 1983), way before the time of laser coloring.Here is the technical description of this piece by Steve himself: "What you own is a Grayline, which is the actual color that they shot the film from. Real color guides are a pre-production step that never see print. The Grayline was an attempt at a cheaper version of the classic European Blueline color system. They were made on stats at print size so they could gang 4 pages up on a drum scanner, as opposed to shooting each page on a flatbed scanner. That's why sometimes the colors would get out of balance. They couldn't adjust the individual pages, so they'd go for an average that sometimes worked, and sometimes didn't." Social/Sharing |

Great with the color work by Oliff to consider that black remains the dominant color and everything else is there to support it for mood and atmosphere in this tale of terror.

Gorgeous. Anything Wrightson had a hand in should be treasured.
