Les propos du coloriste José Villarrubia concernant les méthodes de recolorisation du patrimonial :
"From a colorist’s perspective.
One of the greatest issues with modern recoloring, in addition to the innacuracy of the colors that we have explored ad nauseum, is the loss of any kind of texture from the printing and pulpy paper that these comics originaly were presented in. Because of it, and beside de color choices, these new, expensive collections do not have the « feel » of the original comics, and in my opinion, the new versions always look cold and slick.
Marvel recently reprinted the first issues that they published in 1961. Given that it was the year I was born, that seemed like a great idea to me. But, of course, the new presentation of the comics is their ususal treatement. Here is the classic splash of Thor’s origin, as it was and how it was « restored » (they actually did a new recoloring compared to previous reprint versions)."
J’ai le même problème et c’est pour ça que je préfère me replonger dans un vieux Strange que d’allez chercher une intégrale. Je trouve que souvent jusqu’au 90’s ça ne fonctionne pas.
C’est aussi pour ça que j’aimais bien les Essentials.

Qui se sont arrêtés avant d’avoir pu atteindre le DD de Miller, les FF de Byrne et le Thor de Simonson (par contre Kraven’s Last Hunt doit être dans un des essentials de Web of Spider-Man).
Oui, le mérite des intégrales, c’est de rassembler ça, mais la colorisation gâche le plaisir.
Plutôt que de « restaurer » les couleurs, je préférerais qu’ils les restituent. Ou qu’ils recolorisent avec la même approche qu’Ed Piskor…

Hélas oui.
Faut que je regarde les éventuelles sorties que j’aurais ratées avant l’arrêt de la collection.
La jonction avec les Epic va générer des doublons, mais bon.
Je crois bien, ouais.

Ce qu’ils ont su éviter sur Hulk : les Epic période Gary Frank reprennent pile poil là où les visionaries s’étaient arrêtés (avec le départ de Keown peu avant le #400).

Walt Simonson (alors âgé d’une vingtaine d’années), où la chenille avant qu’elle devienne un papillon :
The Death of Thor. 8.5 x 11. Pencil. c. 1966.
"I found this drawing while I was looking for something else this afternoon. The drawing is undated but since the Thor shown is clearly the Marvel Thor, I’m guessing that this was drawn not that long after I’d discovered the comic book. And that was 1965.
I’d totally forgotten the drawing, and think it’s funny that it foreshadows a story I’d be writing and drawing 20 years later. I did not remember this drawing back when I was working on the comic. So apparently, my interests in things get established and then stay the same for decades !
The drawing was done on the back of used office paper my Dad would bring home for me to sketch on. You can see the print visible, backwards and upside down, through the drawing. In case you decide to try to decipher the typewriting, I’ll tell you now that the text appears to be a series of complex symbols and names for soils in Grand Traverse County, MI. Good luck with that !"
Thor and Jormungandr. Rapidograph and India ink. 8.5 x 11. 1969.
"Back in the day, I belonged to WSFA, the Washington Science Fiction Association. Once I settled in, I began doing drawings for their occasionally publication, The WSFA Journal, and other things that needed drawings.
Disclave was WSFA’s annual SF convention. Apparently, I did several drawings of Thor and Jormungandr for it, although whether these were program covers or straight promotional drawings, I no longer remember. But obviously, I’ve been working on getting this epic battle right for a long time."
À peu près 20 ans avant l’affrontement spectaculaire de Thor/Jormungandr dans Thor #380 (1987) :
