When did DC's floppies start using glossy paper? I find DC issues in the quarter bins going well into the 2000s that still use newsprint which seems insane to me.

Thanks but I'm too old for the CW by a decade or so.

i dunno but they need to go back
glossy paper ruins any art it touches

and it doesn't even make sense to use expensive paper on something disposable like floppies; save that shit for trades

but actually don't, because glossy paper is shit

for fuck's sake how hard is it to just use nice non-intrusive paper that lets colors reflect correctly

If they used higher quality paper it would be fine but gloss is the only way to give the toilet paper they use a semblance of quality. Colors look like shit on that, look at any late 90s Vertigo book and see.

They look significantly better. Literally anything is better than giant streaks of glare across the page. This is why I've switched 100% to digital. Cannot stand that glossy cancer, it's disrespectful to the artists.

sometimes I literally got ink on my fingers from recent Marvel rags. The quality of physical comics is plummeting.
