alxjhnsn Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 (edited) I forgot two. Note: I do not own any of the art shown though I do own the comics. This one shows the progression of a cover from Marie Severin's prelim to Kirby's finished pencils to Frank Giacoia's inks to publication. Click the image to learn more.

alxjhnsn Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 (edited) This one shows Carmine Infantino's ideas on how to improve a cover. It starts with a Curt Swan cover. It then shows Carmine's rough, Nick's inked pencils, and the finished cover. Note: I do not own any of the art though I do own the comics. Click to image to learn more.

Is the "Marie Severin" written on them to indicate that she was to do the finished covers, or were her rough work much more dynamic and balanced than her finished work? grapeape 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marie Severin did the Daredevil and Thor covers. Not sure who did the ASM 96 prelim. For some reason there were two prelims made of that issue. One def by Kane and the other by Severin or maybe Romita? That one has a pasted on piece with prelim drawings of spiders and the Goblin's head by Stan Lee Edited April 10 by BLUECHIPCOLLECTIBLES grapeape and Kevn 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alxjhnsn Posted Saturday at 05:35 PM Share Posted Saturday at 05:35 PM I've added another prelim to my collection. This one is a Pint-Size Pin-Up from Sugar and Spike #83. It's fun to see how he changed and strengthened even these drawings. For example, note the change in direction of the dog head. The printed version is better. Most of my pages have patch panels as he worked to nail the story even after a page was completed. Remarkable work. Click to get a bigger picture.
