While every single person in the creative process is incredibly important, it’s often the writer and the penciller who get mentioned, with the inker sometimes getting credit as well. Yet without the colorist, comics would be a completely different medium. Hence colorist appreciation day!
Here are a few of my favorite colorists, along with some panels that really showcase their work.
Matt Hollingsworth (from Hawkeye #2)
Rachelle Rosenberg (from X-Factor #237)
Jonathan Case (from Batman ’66 #1)
Guy Major (from Red Robin #9)
Dustin Nguyen (from Li’l Gotham #24)
Frank Martin (from East of West #1)
Fiona Staples (from Saga #14)
