Are there any books about traditional printing techniques?
I'm talking about stuff like traditional color separation and color printing through dot matrix.
I'm looking for something that teaches how to do stuff like traditional illustration reproduction, photolithography, screen printing and other related printing stuff without using digital media. Also, looking for a way to print colored comics trough "block and dot" coloring.

What you're asking about is very obscure because those printing methods were never ment for a single artist to use
If you want to do "traditional printing" there are some books about the subject and stuff like woodcuts are very accessible for a single artist but imitating the printing of a comic from the 50's will be impossible.
If you actually want to mass produce your comic a rissograph is the best you will get.

What about something like screen printing?
Let's say I already have the dot screens (at 100%, 75%, 50% and 25% intensity) and the equipment at hand, but I only need the method of color combination/separation though CMYK and the techniques and colors they used at the time.
Also, I'm not only looking to make comics, I also want to reproduce different images such as photographs and paintings in CMYK. Mass-reproduction not withstanding.

I've heard color separation was a photographic process, dunno how could you replicate it.
I know comic were colored with the 25, 50, 75, 100 screens in mind to make things easier.
I also don't think CMYK has changed much since it was first used.
If mass reproduction is not an issue for you then go ahead with your silk screen

The only pragmatic option is to simulate it digitally.
