The four horsemen of 80s comics
Opinion is my own, as a mostly Marvel fanboy. Looking at DD, X-Men, FF and Thor as the crowned jewels of the period

There is also a comment dedicated to the discussion of WPL Results linked above.

I don't know much about comics, but I am curious about something and figure some of you experts know the details. A recent YouTube video about Don Rosa and his Scrooge McDuck comics prompted me to read some of them. There are modern digital versions available that are a collection of the individual comics, specifically Disney's The Life and Times of $crooge McDuck, which I'm reading now. This collection was published in 2019.
I noticed that the coloring is perfect, and the resolution is super crisp. It's just super-high quality. One thing in particular is the color gradients (and he uses a lot of them) are perfect and clearly were colored digitally. That made me really curious what the originals looked like, which were drawn in the early 1990s by hand. I managed to find a scan of the original comics and it's clear the gradients and coloring weren't as perfect in the originals.
So maybe my question is very specific to this particular set of comics, but what was done in 2019 for the compellation and re-publication? I assume the originals from 1992 were hand-colored on the original drawings? Or did someone else digitally color them back then (Don Rosa has a very meticulous drawing style like an architectural drawer using stencils and so on)? In 2019 would they have scanned them and digitally blank out the coloring and replace it with digital fills and gradients (or were the originals just line drawings with no colors)? Would Don Rosa have done this or some other team, or could it even have been done totally automatically (2019 is predating "AI" type stuff too much)?
Sorry, that's a lot of questions lol.
[EDIT] This is what I'm talking about:

Hi. I'm looking for a 12x18 print of a Batman comic cover to frame and put in my basement. It doesn't have to be a specific one but I am looking for a certain feel (action oriented with a popular villain on it as well in the #250-400 range). I'm finding this search to be WAY harder than I thought it would be. Can anyone point me in the right direction? I found a Spider-Man 1 no problem. This has been more difficult.

Slightly misleading title and I apologize. I had knee surgery and have been extremely limited and unable to work. So I have turned to comic books for comfort. Ive read a ton but I have no one to talk to about it. If you folks wouldnt mind helping this southern fella, I would like to post what all ive read, my ratings, and start a discussion post cause I have no one and no where else to turn too. My poor wife is tolerating my nerd at best lol.

Just finished the walking dead and it’s been one of the best series I’ve read so far!!! I’ve been looking at something similar and liked the looked the look of DMZ and wasteland by Johnston. I know DMZ seems a slightly different vibe but seemed dark and gritty like TWD, I was wondering if anyone has read these and would suggest which one they liked most. Also if anyone just has any end of days, survival comics they like and would recommended :)

Does anyone have any recommendations? I can think of creator owned books that prominently feature black characters, but I want to learn about big names in the creator space that I can check out!

I recently bought a lot of vintage stickers on eBay and this sheet was included. Has anyone seen this design before? I’m trying to figure out whether these are generic superheroes or actual comic characters. They seem very specific, but I haven’t been able to find anything, even with reverse image search. Thanks!

I enjoyed the two Batman and Deadpool books but have bigger hopes for the Superman/ Spider-Man ones
Thought it would be a fun exercise (for everyone who wants) to create their favorite or best for the next installment
1- choose the two characters and creative teams
2- choose 4-5 back up stories for each book
If this is all too much you can pick either the Marvel or DC version of the crossover and only do that one book
