DescriptionThis is what I believe to be ink over blue line scan. Any Mandrake fans out there that know?It was published in Jack Kirby’s 4th World Gallery. As I was searching at Wondercon for a piece of art to take home, this one spoke to me the most. I had to have it. The detail is extraordinary. Social/Sharing |

Awesome mad scientist grin! He really enjoys his sick experiments with the pile of dead in his dungeon! He'd probably be doing the same thing even if Darkseid wasn't in charge of him.

That's great! Not sure why you think it might be bluelines, but I believe it's original pencils/inks on the same board. Bluelines weren't really a thing in 1996 when this was published. You might be confusing this with the Jack Kirby's Heroes and Villians (Black Magic Edition) book where inkers used a lightbox to ink Kirby's pencil drawings on separate art board. The Fourth World Gallery, which this was part of, was new art inspired by Kirby's work, but not directly based on Kirby drawings.

Thank you for your input! I can't see any pencil markings and underneath certain areas, it looks as it if there are printed bluelines underneath. You might certainly be right. I hope so! I reached out to Tom himself and asked if it was or not. Hopefully he gets back to me.

Hopefully he'll reply, but most likely Tom was just very thorough when erasing the pencils. I just don't think blueline inking started until years later -- the only separate pencils/inks at that time would have been relatively rare cases where inks were done via a lightbox.
