I ran across a really grotty copy of the late John Buscema’s pencils for this page from The Silver Surfer v3 No. 110. Detailed below are the steps from inks to layout to turn it into a cover.
As published, with inks by Geof Isherwood
Scan of a grotty photocopy of Buscema’s pencils found on the web
Pumped up the contrast, straightened up the edges and removed as much distortion as possible; printed off as bluelines onto bristol
Worked up the pencils to get the feel for Buscema’s work
Inks
Colour
Final cover with re-created trade dress added
