New Releases by Barry Windsor-Smith

This is the third volume in a series collecting the early Conan comic-book stories by Roy Thomas and Barry Windsor-Smith. Originally created in the 1930s, Robert E. Howard''s Conan the Barbarian has survived to emerge as one of this century''s most powerful and popular characters. Even more impressive than the character''s lasting appeal over the past seven decades, is the caliber of talent involved in all of the various Conan incarnations. Of those, there are few that speak as clearly and as uniquely as artist Barry Windsor-Smith. Over the course of these early stories, Windsor-Smith''s stunning evolution from comic-book cartoonist to full-fledged artist is apparent and thrilling to behold. This volume collects issues #14, #15, and #17-#21 and features completely remastered color.

Collects the entire Young Gods stories, including the previously unpublished issues #10 and #11, plus new story material, background information, and behind-the-scenes art! The story and characters are sexy, ribald, and outrageously funny!

Contains various stories featuring Wolverine.

A monthly wall calendar featuring a gorgeous full-color Pre-Raphaelite painting for each month of the year. Barry Windsor-Smith began his career as a comics artist in the late-60s. Working on Marvel''s new "Conan the Barbarian" series, he immediately made a name for himself as one of the most exciting young stylists to arrive upon the scene. Infusing a Pre-Raphaelite influence into comics had never been done before, and Windsor-Smith created many of the most elegant and beloved comics of the 1970s. Then, deciding that mainstream superhero comics were not the best medium to foster his widening artistic ambitions, Windsor-Smith left comics to pursue the creation of single-picture, "easel" works. He released many fine art prints of his own works that reflected a more refined pursuit of his Pre-Raphaelite, Romantic and Symbolist interests. It is these handsome works that comprise the majority of the "BWS OPUS Calendar." 12 full-color plates plus covers and monthly calendar in this oversized calendar.
