August 1981. To further illustrate the tradeoffs of digital color reconstruction of older comics, here are the first three pages of what may be Gene Day's most spectacular artistic achievement, in MASTER OF KUNG FU #103. The splash page above is followed by this extraordinary two-page spread:

Some of this appears photo-referenced, particularly the second panel — I'm guessing that Moench found a magazine article or book and either sent or recommended it to Day — but the composition and detail are both remarkable. Will Eisner's THE SPIRIT often found creative ways to incorporate the name of the strip into the art, but turning the title of the story into a panel "grid" is something else.

Here are the digitally colored versions:

A difficult tradeoff! The reconstructed version is much sharper, so you can see the intricate detail Day put into each panel (and the text is crisper, so you can read Black Jack Tarr's narration without squinting). On the other hand, in not deviating from the original color palette, the digital version is now too bright and too saturated. Newsprint soaks up enough of the ink to fade these colors to a muted twilight glow that's intensely evocative. The digital version (either onscreen or on heavy, semigloss white paper stock) no longer conveys that sense of light and shadow, and the ruddy setting sun on the first page (a really nice color hold) now looks like some kind of alien planet, which is not the desired effect. To capture the original sense of light, the digital colors' saturation would need to come down at least 25 percent, and some hue adjustments might be necessary, trading direct fidelity for a more comparable aesthetic effect.
