I had no idea how detailed and precise Archie Goodwin’s layout sketches were ! He was a pretty good artist judging from this , with a great sense of visual storytelling .

I’ve been googling Goodwin as an artist, and apparently he did start out as an both an artist and an “art assistant”. However, he had quite a range of jobs within comics over the years so it’s hard to single out what he might actually have drawn or helped to draw.

But I did find these letters where he included cartoonish doodles of himself. But that, and the above thumbnail sketches, was all I could find (for now) as far as Goodwin drawings go.

Godwin/Superman doodle
Bombay Gimlet doodle

Either way, as much as I love Infantino’s art, it’s cool to know that so many elements of the art from those early SW comics is actually attributed to Goodwin.
