Negative Halftone - Scanned to Reveal Inverse

I found an old negative, dating to 1975-76. I know this time because the inspiration for the painting was my visit to Kansas City. Where I met Richard Corben at his house. And he had the painted comic DEN pinned up on his studio walls. The art was painted in Gray. He then did overlays and made his own halftones for the color. I did a little color mess around with it. May dig into it as a before after type of thing. 37 years apart.
