As reported before, the Swedish edition of Agent X9 now runs Holdaway's Modesty Blaise, with strips mostly scanned straight from original art. On the Swedish X9 blog editor Johan Kimrin recently added a few samples of how the syndicate proofs looks (top) and what the strip looks like when scanned from original art (bottom). Here's a sample from the recently released issue featuring "The Vikings" by Jim Holdaway. (Click to enlarge. Remember that this is just a low rez jpg. Quality in print is even better.)

Det hade varit ännu mer tydligt – iallafall för de ickesvenska läsarna (men hur många är det?) – att jämföra med Titan-utgåvan.
ReplyDeleteDär är allt bara... paj.
Jo, där är allt bara hemskt.
ReplyDeleteIn english: Compared to the Titan edition even the syndicate proofs here looks fine.
The Titan books, BTW, seems to be just a low resolution sampling of the worst available MB material. Stay away from those editions, is my advice. /Joakim.
