Cover by Barry Windsor-Smith. From the moment Marvel brought him to the U.S. in 1969, Windsor-Smith was a creative force to be reckoned with. A passionate devotee of Jack Kirby, Windsor-Smiths 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. This volume focuses on the earliest of his work, including memorable storylines on The Avengers, Iron Man, Doctor Strange, and individual stories for Chamber of Darkness, Tower of Shadows, and Nick Fury, Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. All new benchmarks of comics art, culminating in what may be the highlight of this period: Windsor-Smiths collaboration with writer Gerry Conway on an epic tale of civil war in Ka-Zars Savage Land. Future volumes will trace Windsor-Smiths career through such milestones as Machine Man and Weapon X. Hardcover, 8 1/2-in. x 11-in., 352 pages, full color. Cover price $49.99.
