For issue #3, I’ll be
posting my rough layouts along with each page. Since the writer, Mike Barr, and
I were working “Marvel Style” (in that he gave me a fairly fleshed out plot
outline as opposed to a finished script, writing the dialogue and captions to my
penciled pages) I suggested possible dialogue to go along with my staging,
anticipating that Mike, or the editor, Bob Schreck, would ask for changes in my
layouts before I went into the tight pencils.
More Kirby influence, as
evinced by the lack of background in panel 1. I like the way The Mark lifts one
special agent completely out of frame and punches a second similarly.
I also like panel 4. I had
to radically simplify to ensure readability of the runner Mark figure on the
building across the street, silhouetted by the full moon, while giving us an
establishing shot of the resolution of the fight scene in the foreground.
This is page 9 for "The Mark" issue 3,
volume 2, otherwise known as "The Mark In America", published by Dark
Horse Comics in January 1994. Written by Mike Barr, Drawn by Brad Rader
