October 19, 2010: Process Piece - A Look at "Superman: Earth One"

Superman: Earth One DC's "The Source" blog gives us a look inside how a comic book goes from script to finished art, using the up-coming "Superman: Earth One" original graphic novel as a demonstration.

    It's not a stretch to say that a lot of work goes into getting what you hold in your hands when you have a finished comic book or graphic novel. From script to pencils to inks to colors to the final printed or digital copy you hold in your hands, the creative process is a wonder for an outsider to see.

    That brings us to PROCESS PIECE, which will be a regular feature here on The Source. What we hope to do is bring you, the reader, into the room - from script to final lettering - so you can get a sense of what's going on with not only your favorite characters, but your favorite creators.

    We begin with SUPERMAN: EARTH ONE, from writer J. Michael Straczynski and artist Shane Davis. The sequence we've selected to run's a jaw-dropper, as we see Clark Kent don the Superman duds for the first time.

Go to "The Source" blog now to see five different examples of how "Superman: Earth One" went from JMS's script to Davis' finished colored pages.

Pre-order "Superman: Earth One" for its November 2nd release from Amazon.com.
