Tallerday, formerly production coordinator at Pacific Comics and now at Blackthorne, explains the full production pipeline from original art to printed page, including typesetting, paste-up, color separation, and the shift from 63-color mechanical guides to 14,000-color grayline/laser-scan methods. Marker describes the collage-and-spit-Q-tip coloring technique she and Pacific artists pioneered, including an infamous incident in which a laser scanner destroyed a finished cover original. Together they argue that advances in materials could spark a renaissance in comics art if creators learn to use them.
