WOW! What pleasure and charm to (re)discover these forgotten drawings… a style of pen and ink mastery that cannot be reached by any professional illustrator or comic book artist in the world nowadays!
Thanks for this good work Jim.

Previous Halftone Screen process

I actually have a copy of the Third Annual that was printed via the halftone method. I rejected it for quality reasons and was very pleased to be able to actually improve the quality beyond my expectations by way of the Stochastic process.

Hats off to Lahlouh (fomerly Color Copy Printing)

New Stochastic process

This scan also shows the selective descreening that I've done on every halftoned image. The screens that appear along the edges within the image above are retained to capture detail. If you look at the halftoned version at left, you will notice that these screen remnants are not immediately apparent when the image is rescreened for reproduction.
