Can anyone tell me how the color printing is compared to the original 1st HC series? Does that approach the beautiful old colors a bit?

Morits, someone had offered me a series of those publications, but yes, I think what should I do with it ... From the outside they look like "the real thing", but I was curious whether such a modern edition is something. .. Thanks!

They are really wonderful publications, really worth it. Although I am going to sell everything, these are the albums that I am not getting rid of for the time being ...

Morits, first of all, my condolences on the loss of your friend and purse buddy. 73 years old and so in my gray eyes way too young to leave this Globe.

Then: I bought some fascimiles and compared them with the old albums.

a) they are significantly larger in width and height;

b) the front and back covers are indeed beautiful

c) the illustrations quite sharp, but the depth of the colors and the nuances (say the red cheeks on faces, colors on clothing, etc.) that is paler. That makes sense, no "ink print"

All in all it's worth it and a good and (still) affordable alternative.

Why some prints are so expensive, I see them regularly at the auctions, I don't like.

Tintin weekly magazine number 1: A facsimile has also been made (edition of 1976). The original issue dates from 1946. This facsimile (1976) is in my wish list.
