Captain America: Lee Garbett Explains His Cover Process

As someone who comes from an editorial background I've long since been interested in the process of how books, magazines and comics are produced.

Over at his blog one of our favourite artists Lee Garbett has posted an interesting feature that explains and illustrates his process when asked to create the cover for the upcoming Captain America collection - from the rough layout, through his pencils to the important contributions of the inker and colourist.

Check out the feature in full here.
