Page 6: Behind the Mask!

[Great Rao]

Alright folks, here it is!  Page 6.  This one is all-new:  Angel's layouts and pencils; Bob's finishing and coloring.  Just click on the man's nose to see it...



... or start at the beginning.

This'll segue into an original Shuster page.

Nice effect for "behind the mask"...wonder what it might have looked like originally?

I'm curious about that too.  All it says in the script is:

(SCENE: Shows snarling face of "Rocks".  Dotted lines indicating position of mask)

In our version of the page, we started out with the dotted lines, but as the panel evolved, we lost them: (as usual, click to ZOOM)

Yeah, dramatically it seemed like it was meant to be a big reveal, but because "Rocks" is still pretty much obscured under the hat and mask outline, it doesn't appear to be anything interesting except that the caption says that Clark is "startled".  I was trying to make "Rocks" recognizable as the guy we saw with the silver hair on page 3. Not trying to overdo the effects, I just thought it helped the storytelling.
