BPRD: The Black Goddess #3 cover sketches

The new BPRD Black Goddess trade paperback is out.  Check it out, it's a terrific book. They included a nice scan of the pencils for this cover but none of the sketches I sent them so  here they are:

Strange Tales #18: page one

Script by Terry Austin, pencils by Dan Lawlis.  I did the inks and colors.  But I didn't know I was going to do the colors until after I finished the inks so there's a lot of Zip-a-tone throughout.  I was trying to make the art colorist-proof.  Edits by Carl Potts who didn't want to change "lay" to "lie" when I pointed it out to him.  Hi Carl!

Superman: Blood of My Ancestors

Pencils by the unforgettable John Buscema.  I know this looks like a Conan story but it's actually set on Ancient Krypton.

Batman: The Sword of Azrael #1, page 7

By request, one of Joe Quesada's pencilled pages and my inks...

Dalgoda: The Hero of the Tale, page 3

Some of these running sketches may have been for page seven so I'm including a scan of it as well.

Wolverine back cover revisited

Here are some additional scans of the cover I originally wrote about back in April.  You can see the old post here.

The Outsiders Annual, page 44

The dramatic shot of Batman's departure must have seemed pretty important to me; I kept trying it from different angles.
