MIKE PERKINS The Stand #1 Not much change from the rough here. You’ll notice that I’ve used one of the Randall Flagg poses that weren’t chosen for the promo piece. Recycle! My pencils are pretty tight here as I wasn’t sure if they would use the pencils for promotional purposes. With a concertinaed cover like this —a quintet (?)—it’s important to get the connecting artwork to correspond, and connect correctly to, the previous artwork in the series. Luckily, Marvel’s cover illustration board comes equipped with trim lines. As long as I started the second image overlapping within the righthand trim section of the previous illustration, things would line up correctly.
