Next comes the annoying part, coloring.  First you have to have Photoshop, I use Photoshop 7.  Then you have to get the computer to yourself for a good hour or so.  Yes, it does take me that long.  Scan the image and open it up in PS, then select everything and Ctrl-X.  Hit Ctrl-V twice and change the top layer to multiply.  In your multiply layer fill in the characters and whatever else with flat color.
