It's not a straight scan, no. All the text was removed from the scanned pages
and then re-added using MS-Word. That probably sounds rather fussy, but it
allows for any typos to be fixed as well as avoiding any problems with text
appearing stretched if the image needs to be manipulated. It also allows the
illustrations to be colour-corrected, fade-adjusted etc., without any direct
effect to the lettering. This *does* mean that errors can be introduced,
however.
Jody "Kailord" Williams did most of the text removal from the illustrations,
which was rather a rotten job, but somebody had to do it. And he did an
extremely good job of it too!
Glad you like it, BTW :-) It'll be nice to make this rare book available to
Lone Wolf fans everywhere--once we get hold of all those pesky illustrators. :-\
