Curated and edited by Eisner Award winner Scott Dunbier, each piece is scanned directly from the original production boards at original 1:1 dimensions, reproducing pen and brush strokes, blue-pencil layout guides, editorial grease pencil notes, zip-a-tone overlays, and white-out corrections in full fidelity.
