I wouldn't be surprised if some pages from Marvel triple action were used for the Masterworks, film, stats or what ever.


I wouldn't either. I've long suspected many of the problems with Marvel's film originate from those early reprints, when the materials might have been poorly duplicated or mis-handled, and the original elements (when they exist) went into a warehouse somewhere and were lost track of 'till recently. (That's why the earlier Masterworks tended to be so dismal.)

That makes totally sense, and it is a shame, because these soft cover version of the Masterworks might be the last time anyone is going to put some elbow oil in to the restoration.
