Not quite as unique as Goodwin’s thumbnail sketches, but I always find these uncoloured comics pages pretty fascinating. (From SW #38 “Riders in the Void”).

I don’t know exactly how that effect in the second panel is done, but the same moire-like patern often shows up in John Byrne’s art and I remember hearing some place that they had this special type of paper that you could scratch off the white surface and it would reveal these fancy patterns underneath. It was apparently an easy way to add some textures to comics without having to add something later during the printing process.
