Question about DC's ABSOLUTE editions

[Lazlo Panaflex]

Are they the same size format in which the artists work on which is later reduced to traditional comic book size?

 

[BubbaGump]

I think so...

But they're big that's for sure.

 

[ThreeActRomance]

and freaking AWESOME.

i have Absolute Sandman vol 1 and Absolute Long Halloween.

No, they are bigger, but still not "actual size."

I'm seriously considering buying Absolute Watchmen

/\ Me too. It's so pretty.

The artists work on larger sized paper than the books.

I have it. It'll rock your world... the colors are so much better than the standard edition, and it's much easier to pick out interesting details due to the size. It's like the seeing a movie on VHS and then viewing it on HD-DVD.

I know, that's what I was saying.
