Mirage Volume 1 Color versions

[shinycloudkid]

Hello, I'm working on putting together a collection of all the colored issues of the Mirage Volume 1 run. Long story short, I'm 5 issues short and just wanted to confirm with the experts (you guys) if issues 24-26, 30, or 41 have ever been colored in any of the various collections.

Thanks!

I'm pretty sure those have never been colored in any official capacity. The understanding on it is that the writers of those stories still own their rights to them, making Nick/IDW unable to reprint/color them without compensation.

I had a feeling that might be the case when I noticed that 4/5 of the issues were done by the same guy. Thank you for confirming though.

Enjoy your day.

If nothing changes by print time, 41 will be collected for the first time in the Compendium #3. So, maybe if there is another color collection at some point, that will get the treatment, leaving only the Veitch issues.
