Restoring Jack Kirby's Thor

 

 

 

I have never used Photoshop but there seem to be some very interesting capabilities in that program and I may yet give it a try!

Over on twitter, Allan Harvey showed a before and after of a full-page splash by Jack Kirby and Vince Colletta from 1969's Thor #161. 

Allan used the powers of Photoshop on the page as it appeared in the comic book and he restored it; Allan emphasized in his tweet that he did not re-create nor re-color the page, he just 'cleaned it up' in Photoshop. 

Here, have a look at the full page at a larger size.

In fact, here are those two versions at Super-Size.

 

 Interesting, right?
