To actually speak about the thread subject, while I like B&W comics, I wouldn't say they're superior, there is nothing inherent in being colourless that makes them better. You have to look at them as a complete work of art and things need to be intended as black and white to begin with for it to make sense. Certain works and styles of art I will agree work better in B&W, the colour just covers up or distracts from a lot of the work. In that sense, maybe you could say it takes more skill for an artist to work in B&W, since their linework has to be that much better if it's not going to be pulled up by colour, I wouldn't agree though.
