Ok, looked at a bunch of them.

On my monitor the caption looks black. But colors between scans and on monitors are often not reliable.

There's another "Aged" reprint with similar massive overinking of the red, so yes, probably fake.


But the extra color itself?
Strip cards, even the fairly nice ones are wildly inconsistent.
Here's another with the same extra color.

The extra is more skin tone than red, but it's there. And a lot of the ones that don't show it in scans probably would show traces of it up close.

Makes me wonder about that difference and if it appears on other cards in the set. Sigh, another project.......
