The black and white was so intrinsic to the book that Campbell refused initial offers to color it, believing it impossible due to the difficulty of putting color inks on top of originally black and white artwork. Printing anything in color was difficult, laborious and expensive, especially in cash-strapped 1980s Britain. Despite how it might seem, the decision to tell this story in black and white was purely one of economics. Readers would’ve undoubtedly noticed the series was presented in rough black and white, from lightly sketched pieces almost resembling illustrated magazines of the Victorian era, to oppressive all-consuming nightfall or shadows whose presence in the book is rivaled by one element blood - which glistens like midnight.
