yer actual Dave Gibbons

Seeing how I mentioned it last time, I thought I'd elucidate with this link: preview pages of IDW's DOCTOR WHO CLASSICS, featuring Charlie Kirchoff's colours over Dave Gibbons' artwork. It's a hard job colouring pages that previously saw life in glorious monotone: for starters, artists tend to throw a lot more black around in the quest for contrast, leaving you, the humble underpaid colourist, less room to strut your funkadelic stuff. I like to think here that Kirchoff's work lends Gibbons something of the quality of the great artists of the UK's lithoprint comics heyday, yer Bellamys, yer Embletons.
