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.

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]

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. Anche la più efficace tra le macchine per uccidere, tuttavia, può rivoltarsi contro i suoi creatori… In una delle saghe mutanti più importanti, violente e tragiche di sempre, la leggenda dei comics Barry Windsor-Smith (Conan the Barbarian) risponde finalmente a una domanda che i fan si stavano ponendo da anni: chi è stato a ricoprire di adamantio le ossa di Logan? [CONTIENE MATERIALE TRATTO DA MARVEL COMICS PRESENTS (1988) 72-84]

In this pen-and-ink graphic novel, in 1964, Bobby Bailey is recruited for a U.S. military experimental genetics program that was discovered in Nazi Germany 20 years prior. His only ally, Sergeant McFarland, intervenes to try to protect him, which sets off a chain of events that spin out of everyone’s control. As the titular monsters multiply, becoming real and metaphorical, literal and ironic, the story reaches its emotional and moral reckoning. Windsor-Smith has been working on this passion project for more than 35 years, and Monsters is part intergenerational family drama, part espionage thriller, and part metaphysical journey. Trauma, fate, conscience, and redemption are just a few of the themes that intersect in the most ambitious (and intense) graphic novel of Windsor-Smith's career.

A limited, signed edition of Barry Windsor-Smith's Monsters, one of the most anticipated graphic novels in recent comics history.
