Following on from the previous post, here's a few more examples of what a difference colour (or, to be more precise, the choice of colour) can make to a printed page. The example on the left is the original JOURNEY INTO MYSTERY #83 as it appeared back in 1962. Compare it with the brighter, recoloured version from the first printing of MARVEL MASTERWORKS Vol. 18, 1991/'92. (Note: A superior version, more faithful to the original, appears in the recent softcover edition of THOR MASTERWORKS.)

Now compare both of them to the magnificent TOM CHU coloured presentation (below), reproduced in the TALES OF ASGARD hardcover volume, which also reprints the origin tale from J.I.M. #83. (Unfortunately, despite the superb colouring, the artwork has been retouched in places, having been restored from the reprint in THOR #158. For a more faithful reprint of this classic story, see the softcover MASTERWORKS edition, referred to above.)
