This is one of the very rare pieces where one can see the progression from pre-lim to pencils to inked to published.

Please note, I own none of these; I just collected the images because they became available on the interwebs at about the same time. They are here for educational purposes only.

Here's the full deal:

Marie Severin's Pre-Lim from the Heritage Auction

Jack Kirby's Pencils from the CAF (link broken because page was removed)

Frank Giacoia's inks from Heritage

Published Cover

All four side-by-side

I enjoyed putting it together. I've sent the files to the guy that owns the OA so I'm hoping he'll pick it up after I take this down.

I don't own any of it. I just put together the exhibition 'cause I think it's neat. I've sent the files to the guy that owns the OA. This will go down in a couple of days.

A terrific idea to pull these together like this. Marie once commented about how awkward she felt doing a prelim for Kirby.

Marie Severin did layouts for Kirby? Layouts that he followed pretty faithfully? I had no idea. Thanks for sharing the progression from prelim to published. It's an eye-opener!

I don't own any of the art. I just collected the images to show how it was done.
