ROUGH STUFF 5 celebrates the ART of creating comics, presenting never-seen pencil pages, sketches, layouts, roughs, and unused inked pages from throughout comics history, plus columns, critiques, and more! This issue, editor (and top pro inker) BOB McLEOD has assembled extensive galleries by PAUL SMITH, GIL KANE, CULLY HAMNER, DALE KEOWN, and ASHLEY WOOD!

Our feature interview this issue is with STEVE RUDE, complete with art from his fabled sketchbooks! There's also an examination of John Albano and Tony DeZuniga’s work on Jonah Hex, before-and-after art comparisons, a new “Nexus” cover by STEVE RUDE, and more!
