i need to compile it again but Superboy writers were on something when they made match just explicitly racist by talking about "Making Tana genetically pure" by saying they'll clone her

and then the clone coming out whiter. what the fuck !

[gayhatred]

NU52 Superboy and Tana Moon.

you are deep in the colonizer's spell I fear

Superboy stuck in side character hell is because he cucked my girl thats what you get asshole

I took screencaps of panels from each of Tana Moon’s appearances from the beginning of Superboy v3.  Issue #1 was published in February 1994 and Issue #13 in March 1995.  (I skipped issue #11 because it looked faded and a bit greenish to me.  After #13, her appearance in #16 gets all washed out due to a switch to a different type of paper.)

I wanted to figure out a good average for Tana Moon’s skin tone.  It goes all over the place in the course of Superboy v3 and hits a horrible pale low in issue 34.  So I decided looking at the earliest issues would be best.

I found Issue 1 was much darker and had a different tone than she was usually depicted.  Issue 3’s swatches ended up looking faded next to the others, so I didn’t use those either.  And Issues 9 and 10, where Humberto Ramos lent a hand on art, were just completely different. Of the swatches you see pictured, I picked out the ones from Issues #2, 4, 5, 6, 0, 12, and 13. Since there were two from issue 4, this came out to an even number of swatches to blend together. I did it two at a time, layering them together and then setting the top raster layer to 50%.  Eventually, this got me to the combination swatch you see up there, with the hex code #A98B67

So that will be my target when I start tackling color correction for Tana Moon.

Tana Moon Color Correction, Take 2

My first attempt at color correction is the second image in this photoset.  (I talked about my old method here.)  I realized it would end up giving me inconsistent results and when I color-corrected DCAU Lex Luthor, I used a different method which I really liked.

So the third image is my attempt at color correction using raster layers, transparency levels, and erasing.  For the sake of comparison, I included an unaltered scan of some panels from Superboy #6 – you can see that my second attempt is much more in line with the original coloring given to Tana Moon.

Why the hell are you making Tana Moon into a black woman??

Damn, I forgot to turn off anonymous last week.  And you were all doing so well, too!

Word of God, Tana Moon is half Native Hawaiian, half Black. All arguments to the contrary are invalid. My friend heard this directly from Karl Kesel, who created Tana Moon, so I’m not “making” Tana into anything.

I know it can be really confusing when the official colorists decide to stop trying for a couple years in the middle of the run.  *pat pat*  There, there, Anon.  You were wrong.

this is so old and im so sorry im blowing up your notifs by looking through but i genuinely do believe they made Tana Moon black at first just based on the way they drew her and the coloring in her introduction. It wasn't until pretty late into the story she was confirmed to be Hawai'ian.

And within the first few issues of Superboy, she is confirmed to be biracial, being Hawai'ian on her father's side! (i'll see if i can find it again) With her mother's being unspecified, since Superboy cut her off lel
