By analogic age, I mean before computers became widespread.

I want to have something more visual than just the description of the processes involved, especially how a finished B&W art was made into something that could be printed several times

Long story short, the biggest differences between now and then are the coloring, printing, and paper.

Pencils and inks are still pencils and inks, but the color process was vastly different then because of the four color printing process.

You also had to take into account ink bleed because of the cheap paper being used.

As of 1983, comics could be printed in 124 colors, prior to that, the max was 63 colors.
