IIRC, the guy in the top-hat was Sandy Petersen's character.
That pic was in Superworld and was printed in color, but I think the original was black-and-white.

As far as I can tell, aside from some of the cover images reproduced in the intro chapter, none of the book's illustrations have ever appeared in color. The page layout elements in grayscale were likely in color originally but were turned into black-and-white for the layout.

If anyone's at Gen Con, they should definitely corral Charlie and demand a HC BRP.
