Like all of IDW's award-winning Artist Edition style books, each page has been painstakingly scanned from the original art to ensure the finest possible reproduction, mimicking the experience of seeing Romita's hand-drawn pages--it's the next best thing to owning the art! While appearing to be in black and white, each page was scanned in color to mimic as closely as possible the experience of viewing the actual original art--for instance, corrections, blue pencils, paste-overs, all the little nuances that make original art unique.

Reviews

IDWs Artist and Artifact Editions are like an invitation to an artists studio where we can effectively watch them bring a comic book to life. The kind of careful recreation one might expect from a fine art gallery, in a printed collection. You can really spend your time pouring over all the details that made some of the highest achievements in comics come to life. Comic Book Herald
