Comic books are particularly "saccy."<br /><br />Some issues of TUBBY are in the public domain, and some had their copyrights renewed by the current owner of the property. (I'm not 100% sure who or what that entity is, so I won't attempt to name them/it.)<br /><br />I don't know if the Dark Horse books will duplicate the material in the Drawn + Quarterly. Neither company's reprint projects attempt to create facsimile covers, or otherwise call significant attention to the issue number of a particular comic book.<br /><br />I almost hope there is duplication. It will concretely show the differences in the two publisher's archival reprint methods.<br /><br />As I've said before, I find Dark Horse's reprints to err on the side of contrast and brightness. Drawn + Quarterly are still working to perfect their approach to archival comic book reprints, but their reproductions are far more faithful to the original. They're much easier on the eye, as well--they faithfully reproduce the pastel palate of the original comic books.<br /><br />The finale of this long-winded reply: I honestly don't know, but I'm curious to find out.Frank M.

Dark Horse and Drawn & Quarterly have both announced collections.

Also, from now on, whenever you refer to Stanley "tells", I think you should call them Stanley "earmuffs".Myrrpagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15400849787972407391noreply@blogger.com
