Marker preliminary drawing done on tracing paper. (with scan of page from the Big Fat Kill TPB)
Very cool component to the creative process, you can see all the actual drawing (structure, volume, etc...) that goes into Frank's minimalist style.

I really like the preliminary drawings and the studies, of course because, as you say, it's from them that you can see the creative process of the artist: in the case of FM, this is even more interesting, since the final image is typically built on the strong contrast of blacks and whites, so it's just from the prelim that you understand how all this perfect balance of forms, lines and tones comes out. Congrats on this gem!
