First off, don’t let my inability to properly size a scanned image fool you: this comic is tiny, maybe 1/10th the size of how the scan appears. It’s also roughly 800% more informative and educational than you may have guessed from the cover. Aren’t numbers fun! This comic explains several different types of toning that were used from the early days of comics to today. If you’re an artist and/or are wondering about specifics, those types of tones are halftone, benday, craftint, acetate and zip-a-tone. The comic lays out when they were invented, when they were used, which comics benefited the most from them, etc. There’s also some fun historical facts in the back; I had no idea that EC comics used 64 colors decades before DC comics did. So like I said, informative and fun. What more can you ask for out of a teeny tiny mini comic like this? $4 (on sale for $2.40 as I write this review, so act fast if you’re curious)
