About Barry Smith

Barry Smith—later known professionally as Barry Windsor-Smith—is regarded as one of the most influential fantasy illustrators and comic artists of all time. His groundbreaking work on Marvel's Conan the Barbarian redefined fantasy illustration and helped usher in a new era of highly detailed comic art inspired by classical illustration and the Pre-Raphaelites.

His original portfolios from the 1970s were produced in very small quantities and have become increasingly difficult to locate, particularly complete examples retaining the original signed plate.

This portfolio represents an early collectible publication from one of comics' true masters and is an outstanding addition to any collection of fantasy illustration, comic art, or Barry Windsor-Smith material.

The portfolio will be carefully packaged to ensure safe delivery.

This is one of Barry Smith's earliest published portfolio editions, issued before his full transition to the professional name Barry Windsor-Smith.
