Charlie Adlard is probably best known these days for his work on ‘The Walking Dead’. He draws a lot of the current stuff but he has also done stuff for 2000Ad in the past and this is one of those pieces.
Its from ‘Them Masque of Dante’ story and is a signed piece that has the acetate lettering overlay as well as what I think is a note from the editor indicating where to put some of the lettering.
It shows you how the lettering can be added and is obviously different from the one I posted a few days ago here
where the lettering is cut out and pasted on. Here you can just lift it off.
Guess what I’m doing tomorrow, or ummm… later! I’ma have that day. Trying to figure out a budget, but if I find mag #15 introducing Spiderman, I don’t care! LOL!
BTW, this is so awesome! Love! I love finding the history behind these treasures. Often times it just makes me feel all feely and stuff. LOL!
That lifty sheet!!!! So awesome and so fun! Thanks for this!

The sheets is great isn’t it just understanding and seeing the process first-hand is a fabulous thing and you can often see little scribbles by the artist or the editor in the margins

Too cool! Ever watch the time lapse comic drawings on YouTube?
I do sometimes. It is kind of comforting, relaxing. Warning… addictive.
