A random collection of material from comic artist Kevin Nowlan. Started with the best of intentions, but like most other efforts, doomed to perish from neglect as soon as the novelty wears off.

Strange Tales #6 cover INKS!
My sincere thanks to the generous and thoughtful Mr. Simon Miller who sent me this scan of the original art. I posted the pencils late last year but at the time, I couldn't even find a copy of the inks.
One of my favorite Strange Tales covers... what a treat! From what I can tell, I see no struggle at all in the drawing, as if it all flowed pretty seamlessly from your hand to the page. I think you said something similar about Michael Golden's work.
Even though this was a big monster drawing and those generally go smoother than most other subjects, there are a few spots where I made corrections with white paint and one shadow area on the right were I started to create a shadow in the cape with parallel lines but didn't like it so I just made it solid black. So there's evidence of at least a little struggle... but I appreciate the comparison!
