Once upon a time — back when new artists rarely turned up in the pages of Marvel Comics — a kid named "Barry Smith" abruptly drew an issue of X-Men. And not too well, I might add — though in hindsight, it looks a lot better today than it did then. He was a Kirby imitator at first. Then as Marvel gave him other gigs, he began branching out from Kirby, attempting designs and fascinating perspectives and styles of storytelling. In record time, he seems to have found an individual artistic identity and developed a style so original and fully-formed that others would soon be imitating him. This occurred not long after he'd gone from being Barry Smith to being Barry Windsor-Smith, and you can see some of his recent and splendid work at his website. Do this now.
