B&W or Color Covers?639

That said, I do like sketch covers IF they happen to be printed on a similar cardstock as blank covers because you can then have an artist work on it and make something really awesome, like so:

That's a very B&W viewpoint. I think DW may be employing dry wit here, but if so, the lack of ambiguity is perplexing. Captain Renault might be shocked by DrWatson's revelation, but for the moment I'll play along, take my winnings and pretend his curmudgeonly POV serious. For those who aren't on a low sodium diet, please take my critique of DW's professed position with a large grain of salt.

Tsk. Tsk. No B&W for DW! That's a real shame. What's up, Doc?

Some remarkable B&W comics, films and television have been produced over the past two centuries. Without those colorless extremes ...and all of those grey areas in between... we'd have no photography, no film noir, no classic silent comedies, no matinee serials, no early TV shows, no vintage war era Canadian comics, no undergrounds, etc., and so on and so forth. So much culture and history lost.

Nevertheless, I seek common ground. For those folks who are only cone enabled take solace in the fact that color comics brought momentum to the superhero explosion perched on the precipice of WWII. Without color, comics would've evolved in a much blander, less involving manner.

All comic collectors have a real appreciation for the evolution of color. Mine extends to early lithography and hand colored films by the likes of George Melies through early development of two-strip Technicolor and beyond. Would we have had early Sunday comic strips like Winsor MacKay's Little Nemo without color? It's doubtful. As for four color comics, ...where would we be today without them?

So, I suspect we're on the same page even if the color registration is a bit off. Apologies for the verbosity, ...it's a silly Saturday afternoon rant. I now return you to the regularly scheduled program.

Nope. I hate it. I have never read The Walking Dead. I have never seen Citizen Kane. I don't care for Ansel Adams. The only thing black and white that I have a soft spot for are black and white cookies.
