Colorist art, commonly referred to as a color guide, is a photocopy of the original art that is then hand-colored by the colorist. This guide is then used for the computerized color seperations. Just like their original art counterpart, colorist art is a unique one-of-a-kind item. The dimensions for colorist art can vary in size. The vast majority of newer pieces measure 8.5" X 11", while some of the older ones may be only 7" X 10" or so. Some pieces will have color "codes" written on them to depict the actual color used for that part of the page. Others will either not have the codes on them or they will be on a separate overlay.

Colorist art was not treated with much "respect" over the years and so the condition tends to vary. Many pieces can have staple holes in the upper corner where they were attached as complete stories at one time. Some of the older pieces can have corners torn off, although most of the time it does not touch the artwork. Colorist art is becoming more and more popular as the majority of comics are being colored on computer these days. This means there will no longer be "hand-colored" pieces, of many of the newer issues, to collect.

I have listed the items by title, issue, page, penciller & inker, colorist, price and special notes. I have made note of splash pages and character appearances at times, but this is in no way complete. There are plenty of nice appearances or splashes that are not mentioned. The page number listed refers to the "story page" in that issue and not the "line-up page". Ad pages are not considered when determining the page number. In the absence of a scan, please feel free to include a brief description to be sure that we are looking at the same page. A few words from the first word balloon or a comment about the art in the first panel should suffice.

When I have listed a group of pages, such as 1-17, that is the complete story for that issue. It would not necessarily include any back-up stories that would have appeared. Likewise, a listing of page 1-6 would include just the back-up story or the character story that is mentioned.

Please feel free to e-mail me with any questions.

Thank you.
