DESCRIPTION
A 15% BUYER'S PREMIUM WILL BE ADDED TO THIS ITEM AT CONCLUSION OF THE AUCTION
Barry Windsor-Smith pencils/Alex Bialy inks; page 9; 1994; image size 12" x 17.5"Beautiful page by the extraordinary Smith, from his vampire series that was part of Malibu's Ultraverse group of titles. This page features Rune battling heroes Prime and Mantra. Pen and ink. Smith, throughout his career, always impressed with his expert understanding of form and composition, and this page is no exception, each panel is a work of art on it's own. Art is in excellent condition. Signed by Windsor-Smith.
Artist Information
Smith rose to prominence thanks to his incredibly detailed and beautiful work on Marvels' Conan the Barbarian, which employed an approach that had never been seen in comics before. The artist worked on several titles at Marvel in the Silver Age before launching his own pin-up publishing house Gorblimey Press, which he used to release impressive lithos to his fan base. Working through the decades, Smith became more and more disillusioned about the comic industry and its unfair treatment of artists, so he slowly started to withdraw from the business. Occasionally popping up with the odd series of graphic novel. Smith is commonly recognized as one of the great artists in the history of comics. He once created a fictional comic book for Oliver Stone's movie "The Hand" which was based on Conan, and Michael Caine played the lead, a character that was a comic book artist that bore a striking resemblance to Smith.
