Ed Piskor and Jim Rugg looking at Kelley Jones’ Batman art in black and white. I have my problems with the Cartoonist Kayfabe approach -- the desire for viewers leads to talking about work that doesn’t really merit discussion, and they frequently discuss work they don’t have much in the way of insight about -- but talking about a mainstream artist whose work as cartoonists is built around interesting choices, like Kelley Jones or Klaus Janson, they really shine. (They are also frequently very strong interviewers, as the amount of content they’ve produced has led extremely talented people, who work alone in studios, to treat them as friends.)

Anyway, this Gallery Edition also includes a few pages of color guides by Gregory Wright, which look great. (The initial four comics represented in this gallery edition were colored by Adrienne Roy, but the process then switched to computer-separated color, which Wright handled by doing up pages with Doc Martin’s Dyes.) Rugg and Piskor say they would be interested in going through issues of the printed comics, but let me give a spoiler -- the actual printed comics look pretty bad, far inferior to Jones’ work as colored by Danny Vozzo or Les Dorscheid you can find elsewhere. Looking at the color guides one realizes this isn’t really Wright’s fault. My understanding is, the computer separation process scanned the art and then broke down the choices in color on the board into CMYK percentages. This evaluation would then assign a K value to the color choices, which previously would have not been included, being reserved for the line art. As a result, the pages as printed are muddy in their color, and you can’t make out the line art nearly as well as you could with comics where color separations would be done in the traditional way.

The reason I’m posting this is because I just now realized that this finds a funny parallel in movies, like 2022′s The Batman, that you watch and can’t make out what the hell is happening, because the digital cinematography is too dark. Everyone talks about how these comic book movies are washed out and grey and not colorful and therefore don’t look like comic books, but I would like them to start saying (and attributing to me as the originator of this take) that they do look like comic books, specifically comic books from the nineties that look like shit because the production teams hadn’t worked out the nuances of the digital color process.

The point of this video is that Kelley Jones’ line art is phenomenal, really amazing stuff; that’s a thesis I agree with.
