New Releases by Barry Windsor-Smith

This first of a three-volume series collecting the legendary Barry Windsor-Smith's work at Marvel features his early work on X-Men, The Avengers, Doctor Strange, and Iron Man, as well as his amazing run on Ka-Zar in Astonishing Tales, and much more. 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-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. 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-Smith's collaboration with writer Gerry Conway on an epic tale of civil war in Ka-Zar's Savage Land. Future volumes will trace Windsor-Smith's career through such milestones as Machine Man and Weapon X.

Tony Stark deve affrontare uno dei momenti più drammatici della sua esistenza: la sua tecnologia è stata rubata e rivenduta al miglior offerente, diventando così uno strumento nelle mani di alcuni dei peggiori criminali in circolazione. Ora l’Avenger in armatura dovrà impedire a tutti i costi che le sue invenzioni causino morte e distruzione. Ma fino a che punto oserà spingersi? David Michelinie e Bob Layton, già cocreatori di una saga fondamentale di Iron Man come Il demone nella bottiglia, tornano a occuparsi del personaggio con un’avventura altrettanto imperdibile, realizzata insieme a Mark D. Bright (Power Man and Iron Fist) e al fuoriclasse Barry Windsor-Smith (Weapon X). [CONTIENE IRON MAN (1968) 225-232]

Mutante, monstro... ou máquina? O mutante Wolverine já foi muitas coisas para muitas pessoas, mas para um enclave infame e seus cientistas sem escrúpulos, ele não passava de uma arma. E armas matam pessoas. Foi o que esse misterioso grupo descobriu muito bem... Sequestrado, desumanizado e despido até o seu âmago, Wolverine é reduzido a uma arma de destruição em massa na clássica saga escrita e desenhada pelo lendário artista Barry Windsor-Smith! A obra que definiu os conceitos essenciais de um dos personagens mais famosos do Universo Marvel, usados até os dias de hoje!

Obra lendária do quadrinista que trabalhou em personagens como Wolverine, X-Men e Conan. Barry Windsor-Smith é uma lenda do quadrinho contemporâneo. Seu trabalho em personagens como Wolverine, X-Men, Demolidor e Conan é até hoje objeto de culto entre fãs de HQ. Monstros é sua obra mais ambiciosa. Elaborada ao longo de 35 anos, conta a história de um experimento genético nazista importado para os Estados Unidos. Como diz Neil Gaiman, Monstros está naquele lugar raro onde "a arte e a imaginação se encontram". "Em 365 páginas avantajadas no preto e branco, Windor-Smith transmite desde a repugnância do horror corporal até a ternura das cenas em família, de pesadelos sem esperança a delicados momentos de conexão humana... [o artista] traça como uma violência cruza" — Ed Park, The New York Times ""Um dos maiores épicos dos quadrinhos, uma obra-prima de trama e de desenho, e o presente inesperado de um autor lendário no controle absoluto da sua arte."" — Rob Salkowitz, Forbes ""As sutilezas das expressões e da linguagem corporal são captadas de forma muito perceptiva graças aos traços exatos, consistentes e expressivos do nanquim: cem, duzentos ou mais a cada quadrinho. Em arroubos com controle total, os contornos e as hachuras" — Paul Gravett, The Times Literary Supplement ""Tão excelente que dói, épico em escala e impecável no design, Monstros vai transformar sua vida."" — Christopher Notarnicola, The Paris Review

Wolverine è molte cose: un eroe, un amico, un mentore, un compagno di squadra. Per qualcuno, invece, è solo un’arma. La migliore, la più infallibile.
