We are secure packagers and prompt shippers so expect to be pleased.Back in the \"good ole days\",publishers normally burned ordiscarded such production art once the comic went to print. Mr. Jack Adler, the old VP of production at DC during the silver-bronze era, once painfully recounted to me the tale of himself and fellow DC artist Jerry Serpi cutting up thousands of pages of original comic line art and production art. He said it broke his heart to destroy all that beautiful artwork; But back over a quarter century ago, nobody foresaw the future value of such exclusive pieces of comic-book history. This type of itemallowed the editors to make sure the alignment and all the colorregistration was just right, even in the advertisements, for all of the front and the back, and on the cover interiors, for this comic. There are no holes in the spine area, of course, and it has a broad white border around all edges, and does include the entire back cover, and all the adsfilling the interior portions. This was the final step, and once the editorial and creative staff reviewed it and approved it for use, to make sure there were noglitches or misprints, the actual comic-bookcouldhitthe press.For additional information, check out the lengthy color article on the comics printing process in the September 2001 issue of Comic Book Marketplace (which is still available from us in our store.)
