Dr. Strange #4 cover art

Thumbnails, layout, pencils, inks, final color sans logo, mock-up with original logo placement and final cover with trade dress, etc. Looks like Doc and the other magicians are toasting the New Year so a slightly belated Happy 2016 to all of you! Hope it's a good one!

Cover art for All-New X-Men #19

Superman Unchained #4 variant cover art

Wrightson's Solomon Grundy pencils, page 22

In case some of us have forgotten, this page shows how skillfully Bernie arranges areas of black and white.  He mastered "chiaroscuro" before most of us could spell the word. It's all there in the pencils, which makes an inker's job a lot easier.

As discussed elsewhere, this story was written, pencilled and inked in 1997, but remained unpublished until 2010, in "Batman's Hidden Treasures".
