About bluelines: Given today's technology, many comic industry professionals are moving away from penciling pages and then having the inker ink the original pencils themselves. With scanners, email, etc., so prevalent artists can simply scan in the original pencils, e-mail them to the inker, who then prints out these "bluelines" and inks those. It's becoming more and more common. Some pencilers even do their work digitally, so there are no original pencils at all. That said, bluelines are the completed, finished pieces of artwork that are used to create the finished comic book. So they are still one-of-a-kind pieces of artwork and they are the final artwork as it appears in the completed comic. ~Certificate of Authenticity/Provenance: Excepting pack-pulled autograph trading cards, CGC Signature Series, signed Sideshow prints, and like collectibles, all autographed items Vault Collectibles sells were personally witnessed, by myself, being signed by the writer, artist, or celebrity in question.
