It's Not Too Late to Get a Green Super Cool Calendar for 2009

I wish I could get away from a print calendar, as that would be truly green, but in order to coordinate my family's schedules, we need it in print. Asgard Press is making green calendars from archival vintage prints that are very cool. Take for example the Vintage Super Heroes calendar:

The images featured in this calendar are archival-quality reproductions of the covers of the actual Golden Age and Silver Age Covers of DC Comics cover art that were sold many decades ago. In some cases the images have been digitally repaired and restored where creases, tears, marks, or other damage would have otherwise distracted from the appreciation of the artwork as it appeared at that time. Some images have been cropped and/or resized to fit this format.

What makes these calendars green? They are printed on 50% consumer waste recycled paper with soy based inks. They also include vintage images that you are sure to keep beyond the calendar year, thus reducing waste. You may even want to frame the images and give them as gifts!

It would make a neat gift, but I'm confused about the vintage parts. Are the vintage pictures and art used or are they copied and improved in digital and the digital is used?

Gloria, Sorry to be confusing. These are not originals but copies of vintage prints. Not sure if they have been digitally touched up, but they are very cool looking.
