Marvel Super Heroes 14 page 9 (Iron Man segment) by Bob McLeod & Ralph Cabrera-Jim Amash

Yup, a very nice example of a nicely drawn page that can be had on almost any budget. The biggest surprise for m was the excellent job either Amash or Cabrera did with the inks, keeping it looking very much like McLeod's own work.

I did 90% of the inking myself on this page, Ruben. It was a rush job and unfortunately I had to abandon it for others to finish up.

McLeod portrays Illyana as right handed here. Oh well! There has been some discrepancy on this all along.

Oops. Magik isn't one of my characters and I never read her comics. Sorry about that.

Tom was my favorite inker, and I think he did a fine job and was very gracious to help me meet the deadline, but as far as being rushed, keep in mind that I was even more rushed than he was, or I would have inked all the pages myself.

Look at you, not satisfied with a dozen so you gotta make it a baker's dozen???

I love Gulacy and it bears mentioning that I love McLeod too, but this is a rare occurence where Bob's inking style DOESN'T show through. Perhaps Gulacy's pencils were super tight. Either way, nice work!

Very tight pencils and I hated every minute of it. And Paul hated my inks on it.

So, a client would mail you the art for inking? � (....or possibly hand it over at a con....if we ever have cons again...)

yes, exactly.

Looks great Bob!� What would be the process for you to "finish" someone's pencil art?

I only ink directly on pencils, no blueline or lightbox.

You bring back alot of memories with this commission. Thank you.

Thanks, Fred. This wasn't a commission, though. It was a variant cover done for Marvel.

My kind of commission, but Rahne is missing!

Marvel requested Magma and Magik replace Rahne for this cover. I don't remember why.

Bob, what seems strange to me is that the original signed page has the balloons written in english INSTEAD french, I remember that the phantastic duo Stan Drake - Leonard Starr did Kelly Green for the french publisher DARGAUD and in France Kelly was published for the first time ...........

I agree it's strange, Roy, but it is what it is. Maybe Stan lettered it himself or had it lettered and Dargaud had to translate it to French?

While I am partial to pen inkers (such as Terry Austin, Gene Day or Perez himself) on Perez, there is a nice synergy between Perez's pencils and McLeod's inks that is quite appealing. Combine this with somewhat unusual layouts and you have one of the Mightiest cover images of the time. Congratulations!

It sounds like you may think this was inked with a brush, but I inked it with a Hunt #103 pen nib, Artemaria.

Fantastic job by Chris. This piece really needed color to give it some clarity, with so much going on. Really powerful.

Scott Williams inks on Neal Adams Batman

Interesting Wrightsonesque cleanup of Neal's gobbledegook of Batman's neck in panel three, but both the pencils and inks flatten his chin into his neck and create a bizarre goatee by connecting that black.

While I think most of what you're doing is wonderful (one of the things I've always loved about Neal's own inking is the playfulness of his lines, and you also have that quality) Alfred's jaw in the top panel is an example of where I think you over-render and misinterpret Neal's anatomy. By placing the dark where you did, you moved the jaw bone lower and out of place. By rendering so much, you create a grey that bleeds into Batman's mask in the panel below it, flattening the depth. Neal's pencils had a white against black which separates the two heads much better, and his jawbone rendering has a simple elegance that all your rendering can't match. While your technical proficiency is magnificent, Dick Giordano (who several people are comparing this stuff against) always strengthened areas like this with strong contrast rather than weakening them with grey.

In addition to the inking change, notice that Neal changed the angle of the head to center it over the torso better. In his original drawing, the head was dislocated. I think that probably bothered Neal more than your inking, once he realized it, and is the main reason he re-did the head.

As amazing as Neal always is, I can't believe Neal can't see Alfred's arms are consistently too short on this page. His drawing and his re-inking of the lower right figure in the last panel is just strange.

An excellent job for the most part. But you're doing some things that weaken the art, Scott. (You tend to cluster areas of detailed rendering next to each other, flattening the depth, because you (and Neal) love to render so much. I can see why you opened up the stone steps on this page, but it creates a grey where Neal had a black, and the page is so wildly busy it needs those blacks. And you misinterpret his anatomy in some places, not that it's always correct. I used to be in such awe of Neal's anatomy, but now I know better.) Overall, though, you're helping him far more than you're hurting him. You're really fixing a lot of things (like that leg) that sorely need fixing. It's hard to believe Neal thinks the re-inking he's doing is for the better.

You said it, Fred. Jemm was an overlooked jewel by Colan. He did some wonderful work on it, and he was a pleasure to ink, as always.

OUCH! What'd I ever do to you, Shawn?! :) This was over extremely loose breakdowns, I was sleeping only four hours a night to meet the deadline, and I had no clue what inking was all about. If you must post this, at least allow me to link to my web site so people can see I improved a little bit later on... http://www.bobmcleod.com
