Computer art in modern comics?

[Agentum]

I was wondering (i know this is a forum about classic comics but i have no special books i wonder about) how much computers i used in comics today?

I guess the coloring and the lettering, but is somebody drawing in the computer to make it easy to correct things and make texturing easy?

But if it was soo no inking would be needed really? as they could make it look inked i guess.

The coloring is something you notice directly, never have lightsources looked as much as light or fire as fire before the computer.
The colors almost shoot out of the pages sometimes, this is impressing but sometimes everything is looking to perfect:)

I think quite a lot of computer art and colour schemes are used in modern comics. I know for certain that Disney comics use it regularly. Gladstone, the current publisher's predecessor, changed to computer colouring in the early to mid 1990s and the result was a startling improvement. I have read Carl Barks' classic stories in their original form and later in computer coloured reprints. Nostalgic issues aside, I have to confess that the new format looks good.

According to my friend and neighbor Tom Orzechowski, mainstream comics are pencilled and inked on bristol board (i.e. paper), then colored & lettered electronically.

This is still generally the case, but many people are shifting over to either drawing everything with the computer (using a special drawing tablet) or assembling material on the computer. I know Brian Bolland's covers are mostly done on computer now; Art Spiegelman's newest work has been computer-assembled; and Kyle Baker on his Plastic Man run worked entirely digitally.

Brian Bolland works digitally these days was well.

When First comics tried to produce the first digital comic, SHATTER, in the mid-80s, it only worked for a couple issues. I beleive the original idea was to create a library of "stock" figures, faces and backgrounds and assemble them into each story. But pretty soon, that ended up being too limited and they just drew the stories traditionally, scanned them in, and used the computer to add gray tones.

If you wanna see something that was incredibly cutting-edge in the way of computer-generated comic art in its day, dig up a copy of Batman: Digital Justice. Looks horrible today, but it was a huge step at the time.
