Mais pour les absolute edition US je prefere des papiers couchés, mats ou brillants, qui mettent en valeurs les dessins alors que le papier offset, meme de qualité comme ici présent,enterrent les couleurs.yippiekayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09454217774430834245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1738811517610271729.post-48425204372880160272016-03-19T09:24:14.610-07:002016-03-19T09:24:14.610-07:00Merci pour ce commentaire (et vos encouragements!)...Merci pour ce commentaire (et vos encouragements!), car il va m'être utile pour la suite. J'ai également les versions Zenda et les ai comparé à mes Absolute, et donc si je comprends bien, la différence entre un offset mat et un couché mat est que le second présente un aspect plus proche du papier glacé? J'ai des lacunes dans ce domaine, et je suis preneur de ce genre d'informations, que je peut tester de visu (pour les Artist's Edition je prend souvent garde de ne pas donné mon opinion sur la qualité d'impression et le type de papier utilisé, car je ne suis pas expert, mais on a ce genre d'information sur le site comicbookdaily en lien sur ce blog). Et donc, l'Absolute Watchmen a exactement le même rendu que l'Absolute V par comparaison avec l'édition Zenda, c'est donc aussi malheureusement un offset mat.varkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14525851003183624761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1738811517610271729.post-23635734932424149742016-03-19T03:30:37.618-07:002016-03-19T03:30:37.618-07:00encore une très bonne description du livre. je vie...encore une très bonne description du livre. je viens de le recevoir ,personnellement je suis un peu décu de la qualité du papier utilisé, un offset mat de très bonne qualité mais j'aurais préféré un papier couché mat qui aurais donné des noirs et des couleurs plus profondes; bon il me reste toujours l'édition Zenda pour ça. Cependant je suis aussi intéressé par le Watchmen absolute u.s ; savez vous si c'est le meme papier utilisé que pour V ou alors un papier couché comme les Sandman absolute par exemple. Au prix vendu je veux pas me tromper pour le coup car si c'est le meme type d'impression je ne le prendrais pas, Zenda encore me suffira malgré les couleurs non refaites.

I have compared again my Absolute Edition to the french Zenda edition and the only DC comic issue (#6 of 10) I own and the printing is quite similar. I could be wrong but I think that the comments "washed out, abstractly murky, hazy" referred to the difference between the original Warrior B&W version and the DC colorized version because indeed the rather strange colouring washes out the original B&W contrast. But again this Absolute edition is not worse than the DC comics issues. Note that the whole story was never completed in Warrior but there at least one Italian edition that has been published in B&W.varkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14525851003183624761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1738811517610271729.post-77013170623896560582014-05-04T16:34:37.419-07:002014-05-04T16:34:37.419-07:00Hello, great work here.

I had read a review that said the illustrations are "washed out, abstractly murky, hazy" can you comment on this? You appear to have a vast knowledge on the material and I was wondering if you could speak at all to the visual quality versus other editions.<br /><br />Many Thanks,<br />Anthony AWartingerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00706857214055714229noreply@blogger.com
