Legends of the DC Universe #6, page 8

Once again, Dave Taylor layouts and my finishes.  This page was a bit more finished than some of the others but by now I was on a roll.  By the way, the Superman face in the last panel was swiped cold by another artist.  I don't think I would have noticed but the other artist's editor called me up to apologize so I compared the two.  Oh well, it happens...

    Can I ask you something Kevin?
    I was looking at the work you posted on Dave Taylor layout, and I was wondering how the credits were on that comic, because it seems you redraw (well draw and inked in your style) the work of Dave.
    How was this solved?
    I always admire artist like you who take layouts to a differente level in all terms.
    Beautiful work as always Kevin and have a great week!

    I think the credits just read Dave Taylor: Layouts and Kevin Nowlan: Finishes.

    Wow!
    Thank you so much for the answer.
    I asked you this because of the eternal question of what a finisher really does when they receive layouts in different states of quality and specially for the way sometimes audience and readers believe that is just a matter of just tracing when is not really that and involves craft and expertise.
    I have told this before but I love how you give your style to what you touch!!

    Thanks again Kevin!!

    I actually first saw the finished art as it was featured in Klaus Janson's Guide To Inking. I have studied it so much my book now automatically pops open to that page! There is so much to be impressed about. I think it was at that point that I began to perceive the power you bring with your inks. The last panel buildings are amazing, as is the Superman. I realize you are being diplomatic, but now you have raised curiouosity about the swiping artist...must be somebody you don't want to embarrass...but the art certainly is 'swipe-worthy'!

    The layouts are really good, but you took it to a whole 'nother level!

    Mr. Nowlan
    i noticed you took some liberties with the finishes. like robins hair,and superman's cape in panel 3. where those just instincts on your part, or direction from other sources?

    peace out
