Someone asked if I have abonadoned my previous coloring style of more realistic colrs in favor for the classic comic colors of the 80s I'm using for BUTT CLUB Issue #1. So I figured I would ask all of you your opinion. BC #1 will continue with classic colors as planned.

For me, it really depends upon context. For example, if you are putting together a comic featuring DC or Marvel heroes wearing the costumes they wore back in the 70s and 80s, then it makes perfect sense for you to use the classic comic colors of the 80s. However, if you are putting together a comic featuring the same heroes or new ones wearing the costumes they wore back in the 90s and the 00s, then a coloring style featuring more realistic colors would be appropriate. Still, this is just my two cents so take it for what it is worth.

I agree! If I'm drawing characters from pre-computer color, I try to make them look as close to the styles, which include the colors as they were. The 90s were a time when I checked of comics for the most part. I liked seeing the new fancy color then, but now in retrospect, it only makes me appreciate the old color.

In 1993, Image Comics' use of computer color and more advanced color separation technology propelled DC and Marvel to further upgrade their coloring techniques. Finally, in the mid-1990s, Digital Chameleon's facility with Adobe Photoshop helped make that program the industry standard.

This corelates with when I checked out of comics perfectly. The bulk of my comic book reading and collecting days along with when I started drawing comic books was relatively short back then. 1983ish-1993ish. Only 10 years, for me age 10-20. This formed my vocabulary that I use today at age 50.

Nice! For me, I started reading and collecting comic books in 1981 and I haven't stopped. I had a front row seat to the evolution of comic coloring over time but I never really stopped and noticed it because I was too engrossed in my favorite DC Comics--Justice League of America, Justice League International, Birds of Prey, Gotham City Sirens, Justice League Dark, Secret Six etc. I have always been a HUGE fan of the superhero team books! And while I will collect the occasional individual superhero book like Green Arrow, Steel or Cyborg, my bread and butter are the superhero team books! I blame The Challenge of The Superfriends for my love of those books. During my childhood, there was something awesome about The Legion of Doom going up against The Superfriends every Saturday morning that I wanted to see over and over again on tv and in comic books. And throughout my life, DC has not failed to deliver!

Cool! I had been getting comic since the 70s, but mostly franchise comics based on toys I had, like Shogun Warriors, Micronauts, Star Wars and GI JOE. I had an occasional Spider-Man comic or Batman here and there, but none more than a shoebox full. What got me into super hero books, specifically Marvel was Secret Wars. First through the action figures, but then the limited series. I also started getting the Super Powers figures and learned of non superfriend characters like the New Gods and Mister Miracle. I discovered comic shops then and the whole collecting world, which opened me up to it all. For me at that time X-Men, Anything with the black Spider-Man was my jam. In 1985 at age 12 I hit puberty and was horny 24/7, so I lost interest in the dudes and focused primarily on the ladies! That's when my first crushed like She-Hulk from Byrne's FF and Rogues buttocks were all I wanted to see. That pretty much hasn't changed all the way until today. I also started collecting back issues of Spider-Woman and her marvelous behind. I really didn't get an appreciation for DC comics until post-crisis with Perez's Wonder Woman and yes, of course JLI. Specifically Fire & Ice! Those two chickypoos and there buttocks gave the Marvel girls some stiff competition for jerk off time dreaming being pressed in between them in a Timmy Sammich. Those books when they got there new costumes by Adam Hughes are still some of my favorites today. As I mentioned, around 93ish is when I checked of comics for a while. Realistically it was more like 89, but my collection was on life-support until pretty much image came on the scene and I started hating comics. I never really watched the 90s cartoons like X-Men and Spider-Man. I syill kept getting Wonder Woman through the 90s especially when Deodato was drawing her and Artemis's buttocks' in thongs. Then I started getting the Adam Hughes books through my renewed subscription and really started liking those, weven though I hated the interior art and never read them. Also Jim Balant's 90s Catwomna really did it for me, although looking back on them now, he was such a shitty artist. It was more the look of her costume than any particular artist's work. Most of my JLA knowledge and appreciation came from the Justic League Unlimited show in the 00s when I was in my 30s. Sure I watched Super friends back in the day as a kid and had Mego dolls and Pocket Heroes, but the JLU show really hit me at the right time. That and watching the Venture Brothers at the same time gave me my sense of parody and humor. I'm not against digital color, because I work 100% digitally, but I just like the more garish simple color pallets is all. Comics have always been a love/hate relationship, but mostly love over the years. I chalk up my 90s hiatus in my 20s to persuing more important things like getting laid. Now that that really isn't my motivation anymore, I can focus on being a horny Teenager again in my 50s drawing sexy lady-butts and jerking it when I get arroused.

My interest in comic book women really began outside of comic books. It all started when The Wonder Woman tv show went into syndication during the 80s and I began to watch it after I came home from school. The episodes were hit or miss in terms of their writing but Lynda Carter in those satin tights never disappointed. To this day, I can still say my top four episodes from that show to enjoy Wonder Woman in all of her "wonderfulness" are The Deadly Toys, Formicida, The Pied Piper and Mind Stealers From Outer Space. What solidified my interest in comic book women was the action-packed cover of Justice League of America #204 that was done by George Perez featuring The Justice League taking on The Royal Flush Gang. On that cover was a superheroine desperately holding onto a flying playing card with one hand while she was stretching out for all that she was worth. Her name was Black Canary and she immediately supplanted Wonder Woman as my favorite DC superheroine. From that point onward in 1982, I was hooked and hooked on her HARD! I not only started collecting JLA stuff because it reminded me of the Superfriends but also because it had someone that the Superfriends NEVER had--Black Canary! I found a comic book store in my area and collected back issues of JLA and everything I thought I could find featuring the Blonde Bombshell. When Black Canary got her own limited series, I bought it! When Green Arrow came out, I bought it! When the Birds of Prey came out, I bought it! Whether it was the fishnet stockings OR the blonde wig OR the skintight costume that left nothing to the imagination, I was all in for Black Canary. And to be honest with you, I still am to this day. Although my interests in comic book women have expanded beyond her to include Zatanna--another fishnet wearing hottie; Vixen--ass and attitude; and Mera--fiery redheads are always hot; I can honestly say that while Wonder Woman launched my interest in comic book women, it was Black Canary that keeps me coming back for more.

I definitely can relate with the Linda Carter Wonder Woman show. Yvonne Craig's Batgirl was my #2 TV chickypoo back in the day before comics. I was also in love with Dyna Girl from Electra Woman. I didn't learn who Black Canary was until Reading JLI. Like I said, I was starting to discover non-superfriend DC characters with the Super Powers toy line, but they only made one chick, Wonder Woman. I'm picking up the McFarland Super Powers coming out today. I hope he adds some more females to the toyline. I did pick up the DC MULTIVERSE 7" 90s Catwoman though. Speaking of color, I was going through my JLA comics toawrds the end of that line and by 1996 when it ended with #113 and the color is still mostly the classic style. You can tell it's digital, but not overblown as other stuff at that time. If I recall, Marvel really went nuts with digital color towards the late 90s with Heroes Reborn. I was going to get back in around 1997, but it didn't last very long. However, my god was the art really terrible in the 90s. You would think that would have been my era with all the hot babe books coming out and thongs galore, but I couldn't take the Image style EXTREME art.

In my eyes, Yvonne Craig's Batgirl was cute. However, Julie Newmar's Catwoman was HOT! While Eartha Kitt had the best purr, Julie Newmar had the legs! She was a seductive and imposing Catwoman that was more than a match for The Dynamic Duo. Eartha Kitt was more than a match for Batgirl but needed help from the Joker and others to take on The Dynamic Duo. I watched that show for every episode in which Julie Newmar appeared and I was NEVER disappointed. I admit that I'm not a toy collector. I lost all of my childhood stuff during Hurricane Katrina back in 2005. The only thing I was able to save from that disaster was my comic book collection. When I collected JLI, I did so because the writing in that book made me laugh! The stories were funny, the characters were ridiculous and for me, it was just a laugh out loud comedy run. I understand the appeal of Fire and Ice. Ice was cute but Fire was HOT! (Pun intended) And both of them were drawn to please the eye. I confess that the Image style of extreme art was not for me either. It didn't appeal to everyone but it did appeal to enough readers to the extent that it not only caught on but also influenced the work of a lot of comic book artists that came after McFarlane and his generation of artists. I never collected the 90s Catwoman book but from what I saw of it, Selina Kyle in that body hugging purple outfit was a PURE WET DREAM! I see the appeal although I loved what they did with Catwoman in her run in Gotham City Sirens. Her and her gal pals Harley and Ivy were villainous eye candy and so much more! That is one book that should have gotten a longer run and a crossover with the Birds of Prey. And speaking of a Birds of Prey-Gotham City Sirens crossover, in my opinion, it is one of the greatest tragedies in comic book history that there was never a crossover book between these two groups. Both of them were operating in Gotham, both of their books were running simultaneously, both of them had agendas that would have put them in conflict with each other. Yet no one in DC thought about a crossover event where the two teams would take each other on for control of the streets of Gotham?! I love Gail Simone and Paul Dini and I respect the hell out of them for their contributions to the comic book industry. But they REALLY dropped the ball by not making such an easy and obvious crossover like this one happen!

See...for me...Catwoman, like Batman and the Joker, seemed to be to grown-up. I related to; at age 5, to young adult teens from the 60s? If that makes any sense. Besides, I didn't like Newmar's hipbones! Ertha also didn't appeal to me, because it was the 70s and my semi-racist parents passed on their "we can't drive through Detroit" fear of black people. I've outgrown that at age 50. Only now, can I look back at the grown-ups of the show who were 15 years younger than me now and appreciate them. However, their's still the matter of Julie's hipbones still turning me off and Batgirl being really young which appeals to my preference for girls 18-24. And I can never forget my adrenaline surge breathlessness when I would see Batgirl on her motorcycle ride by during the open credits, noting this was the third season, which I also didn't understand at the time.

both would work

I confess that what you just said does not make any sense to me. However, I don't judge because at the end of the day I think it all boils down to personal preference. I like my comic book women--and my women in general--to be somewhere between 18 and 35, athletic and tall. Eartha Kitt and Yvonne Craig were cute as Catwoman and Batgirl but they were short--even if you went by the standard height of women back in the 60s. Julie Newmar as Catwoman was a tall drink of water that was more to my liking!
