OWN A PIECE OF GLADSTONE DISNEY HISTORY!!

These are ONE OF A KIND colorist art/color guide pages used in the direct production of the Gladstone Comics and Comic Albums. The first example pictured here is the first page Carl Barks' "Adventure Down Under" - colored by colorist Summer Hinton and featured in the Carl Barks Library in Color - Donald Duck Adventures - Album #7. The second example is the a page from Ted Osborne & Floyd Gottfredson's "Robin Hood Adventure", featured in WDCS #613, with computer color that is hand coded by the Gladstone Staff. The third example is the fiirst page of Carl Barks' "The Swamp of No Return" from an earlier comic that was marked with color codes by colorist Susan Daigle-Leach and featured in Carl Barks Library in Color - Uncle Scrooge Adventures - Album #49.

This hand colored professional Colorist artwork will no doubt increase in value as the years go by, because most comics are now colored via computer - with no trace left except for a digital data file. Color guides/colorist's artwork are re-sized copies of the pencil and ink original artwork that are assigned to the issue's colorist, and then hand colored by that colorist. Colorguides measure about the same size as the published comic book, and many have "color codes" for the printers to follow. Computer coloring has made hand painted colorist artwork extinct and now highly collectible!

1. Hand colored and coded pages
