Do you know why the "Monitor Tapes" in the Absolute version of CRISIS ON INFINITE EARTHS is the same inked version that was in the 1998 printing of the collection?
DC advertised it as:
(Please note that the Monitor Tapes section from issue #10 will be shot from the original art for this issue and represented in its original form.)
I thought the original was screened from George's pencils. DC didn't spend the money to get the pencils printed directly. Then when they did the 1998 collection they had Al Vey ink over photocopies of the original. That the original art wasn't available when they did the collection.

Not the first misleading statement associated with a Crisis hardcover. I remember that DC was able to sell the 1998 Crisis hardcover at such a high price because they claimed that it was never going to be released in trade paperback. Interestingly enough, the Monitor Tapes ended up putting the kibosh on that plan...
