Trust me, Tom...I know all about this. I have stared and stared and stared at copy for hours upon end to get it perfect only to find later that there's a misspelling or an omission or some other imperfection in the final product. Our minds are funny that way...ever look at a common word so much that it starts to look misspelled (even though you know it's not)? Just had that this morning with the word "Regular." Weird.

It's spelled "regular".

And thanks for understanding -- this is the kinda thing that eats away at an editor's guts. Nobody feels worse than we do when we spot mistakes too late, trust me.

On the bright side, I'm looking at the Michelangelo PDF proof today and it looks fantastic!

Talk soon...

Typically this would necessitate a complete reprint wouldn't it? Normally in these circumstances replacements or refunds are sent ... aren't they?

I mean this isn't some bad printing, we are missing a page from the story. That's a pretty major misprint. Isn't it?

Close. Period goes inside quotes at the end of a sentence.

True, on this side of the pond; everywhere else uses the denotation in context. *jabjab*

When it comes down to the bottom line, the book doesn't sale enough to demand a corrected reprint.

The best solution, for those who want a correct comic without trade-waiting, is to upload the page online and allow for download (like Mirage did for "Future Tense").

Nice. Touché

Seeing RTNY was the only issues I was really curious about seeing colorized.

Thank you, Tom! You rock!

See folks, wasn't that easy? Now, head to Kinko's and print on glossy paper and quitcherbitchin.

Aside from the goof, I really love the coloring in this book for some reason. Part of it may be my love for this book in general, because the original wrap around art is one of my favorite covers ever!

Does this issue retain the wraparound cover? One of the drawbacks for me was that the 1st and 2nd issues didn't, so I haven't really been checking them out since...

Unfortunately, it does not. That's the only thing I don't like about the Color Classics.

Personally, I'd rather have an extra inside page of ads if it meant having the wraparound cover.

Did it just get slipped that trades of the color classics are planned? Wow, that wasn't supposed to be mentioned yet, was it?

That's exactly what I was holding out for since I had a feeling they would be collected.

And they should be affectionately called the "Second" colored graphic novels.

HotJuicyBurgers · 10-12-2012, 03:18 PM

So does that mean that every single copy of this book has the doubled page?

Thus far, yes.

So technically it isn't an error printing!

And I picked up my copy and it does indeed have the doubled page

Oh... YEAH!

I know I'm buying this one. I just hope this one will be mistake free!

Ha!

I've been enjoying the color classics, despite the occasional mistakes. The more turtles books I pick up a month, the happier I am

I do miss the wrap around covers tho. I was looking forward to #5 in particular b/c of that
