Josh, thanks for that instant assessment on my mental state - I'll go see the doctor today and get myself committed.
There's a huge difference between what Alex Ross did for the
Marvels
mini-series and the work being done for the Masterworks line. Ross and Busiek created an all new piece of work and used certain iconic images to create a time-line throughout. At no point previously did the work that Ross and Busiek created appear in any Marvel comic.
Any artist worth their salt is doing their own interpretation when they do a recreation, be it line-for-line or otherwise, otherwise they're just tracing the pages off and leaving it at that. Any art student can do that, and Marvel know this, so why wouldn't they hire students on the cheap? Because doing an exact recreation requires skill - as has been pointed out, the pages have fooled more than one person.
A redrawn page is not the work of the original artist. Interpretation? Well we can argue that 'til we're blue in the face.
It matters not if it's one page, ten, a dozen, a hundred or a thousand - the minute you introduce a recreation into a book it's no longer a reprint book. And the Masterworks line has been hyped as being the be all and end all of reprints.
If I read what Chris Fama just sent for me
to post
a lot, if not all, the restoration work (again, restoration, that being working to restore existing film) is now digital. It's the physical redrawing of entire pages that bothers me, and I know I'm not alone with this.
Having said that I'm not surprised that people on a Masterworks forum don't agree with me. Logical really.
