100 pages - January 2007

The industry’s buzzing about TwoMorrows’ groundbreaking new mag, ROUGH STUFF, celebrating the ART of creating comics! In issue 3, editor (and top pro inker) BOB McLEOD presents more NEVER-BEFORE PUBLISHED penciled pages, preliminary sketches, detailed layouts, and unused inked versions of art from throughout comics history! First up is a new, heavily illustrated interview with JOHN ROMITA, JR. on his career, from his early work on Iron Man, through to his current groundbreaking art on Marvel’s ETERNALS revamp with Neil Gaiman! Then, we present extensive galleries of unseen work by top artists P. CRAIG RUSSELL, MIKE ALLRED, and YANICK PAQUETTE, who contribute commentaries on pencils, sketches, and more from some of their most well-known comics work-examining what went right and wrong with it, and giving background information to put it all into historical perspective. Also: A pencil art spotlight on one of the most talented creators in comics today, LEE WEEKS! A retrospective art gallery on legendary Marvel Comics artist Big JOHN BUSCEMA! Plus: Before-and-after comparisons revealing how images changed from initial concept to published version, and more, all behind a new ROMITA JR. "Spider-Man" cover!
