I believe you are correct. This I agree with. The coloring should be left alone. BUT, as the case I sighted (which was a Thor story, not one of the Inhumans backup), islolated errors should be corrected.




Why?

That's how they originally appeared, so why change it now? The books should be made to match the originals as closely as possible, within the constraints of using different paper, printing processes etc.

Anything else is pointless revisionism.



No. Corrections for minor coloring errors are not revisionism. It's correcting an obvious printing mistake to give you the Best Possible Presentation of the comics. I want something better than the originals. Something definitive.




Not wanting to lead this thread any further astray, I have one final point regarding "corrections" : *IF* the "error" is an obvious printer's mistake, I agree that it should be corrected to match the rest of the issue it appears in. As an example, there is an issue of AMAZING SPIDER-MAN, #157 I believe, where during a battle with Doctor Octopus Spidey crashes through a window into someone's apartment "sans pants" ! Apparently one of the color printing plates was missed, causing his pants to reproduce as flesh-colored. Obviously, his pants are blue in the rest of the issue. Should the mistake be preserved in that case, since it was an unintended printing error?
