There is nothing to be overlooked. They are try out pages.
Daniel, Herbert continues to be one of my favorites. Between the conversations and the pieces that he brings to shows, the guy is tops.

I'm not picking on the guy. I'm sure That now that he's a professional artist, the editors schooled him on leaving space for copy right quick. Just that one of the things that I enjoy about this site are JB's teachable moments, making me notice things that I may never have before. Those pages above provide a good example, that's all.

Vinny, he has been a professional artist for years and had done a decent amount of work for the Big Two before creating these pages. I'm not aware of try out pages that have intentionally left open spaces for word balloons. I'm not sure that there is a teachable moment here, since in reading your original post, you actually talk yourself out of the point that you made. Just seemed a bit odd to post it at all, given the form the narrative took.

Sorry, Fred. I didn't mean to come off as if I was raining on your parade. He's definitely got talent and those are nice pages to own.

Jack Herbert is an incredible artist. I am regularly blown away by his work. Seeing this piece in his portfolio at Comic Con Experience, I was immediately drawn to the beauty of it. The convention saw the debut of his first sketchbook, but anyone going to his table after I did, was not able to see the original artwork for the cover up close. I snatched it up without hesitation and have regularly marveled at it in the time since.

Here was a Logan piece that he had as well. He is a master with copic markers.

Herbert is amazing. I've marveled at how copics have come to be used and the skills that some can use them. I will post the printed sketchbook cover, which is colored... though I find myself more impressed with the original piece.
