A passionate devotee of Jack Kirby, Windsor-Smith's earliest drawing at Marvel reflected that influence, but he quickly developed his own unique, eye-opening style, combining intricately detailed realism with the dreamlike lushness of art nouveau and late-1960s psychedelia. \u003cp\u003eThis volume focuses on the earliest of his work, including memorable storylines on \u003cem\u003eThe Avengers, Iron Man, Doctor Strange\u003c\/em\u003e, and individual stories for \u003cem\u003eChamber of Darkness, Tower of Shadows, \u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eNick Fury, Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D\u003c\/em\u003e. All new benchmarks of comics art, culminating in what may be the highlight of this period: Windsor-Smith's collaboration with writer Gerry Conway on an epic tale of civil war in \u003cem\u003eKa-Zar's Savage Land\u003c\/em\u003e. Future volumes will trace Windsor-Smith's career through such milestones as \u003cem\u003eMachine Man\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eWeapon X\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Barry Windsor-Smith\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Fantagraphics Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/28\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 352\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 3.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.50h x 8.60w x 1.50d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798875001529\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eWindsor-Smith, Barry:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003eBarry Windsor-Smith\u003c\/strong\u003e began his career by drawing mainstay Marvel characters such as the X-Men and Daredevil in 1969 in the traditional Marvel style. However, in 1971 he broke from the Marvel formula when he started drawing the \u003cem\u003eConan\u003c\/em\u003e series, turning heads with a fresh and controversial stylistic approach and winning numerous industry awards. Part of a young generation of artists that included compatriots Bernie Wrightson, Mike Kaluta, and Jeff Jones, Windsor-Smith proceeded to carve an independent path for himself. In the '90s, he conceived, wrote, and drew three independent series, \u003cem\u003eThe Freebooters\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eYoung Gods\u003c\/em\u003e, and \u003cem\u003eThe Paradox-Man\u003c\/em\u003e. In 1999 and 2001 Fantagraphics published \u003cem\u003eOpus\u003c\/em\u003e volumes 1 and 2, autobiographical coffee table art books. The critically acclaimed and award winning \u003cem\u003eMonsters\u003c\/em\u003e (2021) is his most recent work. He currently lives in New York.","brand":"booksdeli.com","offers":[{"title":"Barry Windsor-Smith \/ Hardcover \/ English","offer_id":47897223954589,"sku":"9798875001529","price":71.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/5648\/9373\/files\/img_e231d977-d0f7-4c03-a6d9-c6ba593d2a96.jpg?v=1778004083","url":"https:\/\/booksdeli.com\/products\/the-marvel-creator-collection-no-1-back-to-the-savage-land-barry-windsor-smith-at-marvel-vol-1-9798875001529","provider":"booksdeli.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
