Hi Guys
Here's scans of the thumbnails and the inked cover for #20 - apologies for there not being one of the pencilled version this month, but I accidently over wrote it with the pencils for #21's cover! DOH!

Anyway - hope you like these - thanks to Nightcrawler as always for hosting the images!

You can always make it up to us by showing us the pencils for #21. [tease]

And it looks like my theory about this being Colossal Boy's parents is wrong. [Frown]

I really think you picked the best angle for this cover, Barry. It's much more effective this way and (as I said in the e-mail) Supergirl's look is priceless. Definitely a winner that makes me long to read the story behind it.

The way covers are supposed to be.

Pretty as always Barry. I notice that the alien in the crowd looks the same to one that appeared in 16. Pretty neat when you can get little continuties in places like this.

In that case, please don't feel bad if you "accidently" send Nightcrawler the pencils to the cover of 21 early, thinking it was 20. [tease]

Unfortunately, no. Barry's too smart for us.

Hi Guys - Thanks!

I'm definitely not that smart, but I'm pretty sure no ones seen the pencils for #21 yet..or there'd be a lot more posts! [Wink]

I did manage to find another rough stage for this cover though...and here it is!

At this point I was wondering if I really wanted to attempt to draw Kara's face at that angle! [Smile]

Ah! But that was for me at least the best part of the cover.

This "rough" is still more detailed than your average artist's finished work. I really can't wait to see the story behind this cover. This series is just the right amount of Silver Age-ness for me.

As always, another great cover, Barry!
Thanks for showing us the thumbnails and pencil 'roughs'.
It was great to see the stages towards the production of the final cover.
I think that angle on Kara adds an element of intrigue to the cover - what is she looking at?
