urdchama: Once upon a time before Adobe Photoshop, the color palette of comic books was very limited. Instead of the millions of colors that you can blend and gradiate and add filters to, there was a time where you were limited to 64 colors on average (that number is liquid if you’re a nerd about the printing process.) […]   The main complaint I hear from pretty much everybody with good taste, is that there is a total abuse of color and computer effects that is committed in most comics. Take a look at nearly any mainstream book and you will see the atrocity. Stand 10 feet way from a rack of comics and tell me if you can make out any particular focal points on any of the covers. The total truth. I want to try this palette RIGHT NOW.
