This is a tremendously significant and special work of comics art that all fans of the medium should absolutely read. It is surely one of the most intense graphic novels ever drawn. Barry Windsor-Smith is a comic book creator who really cannot be placed in any league or category but one all his own. He may have taken decades to get Monsters right, but he got it. Now, here we are, 44 years later, both little old menonly on these pages, Barry still comes across to me as larger than life. There are passages of heartbreaking tenderness, of excruciating pain, and devastating violence. I saw Barry Windsor-Smith in person in Philadelphia in 1977 and have always said he was the first person I ever saw who actually looked larger than life. Monsters is rendered in Windsor-Smith's impeccable technique, the visual storytelling being the most sophisticated of the artist's career. Part family drama, part espionage thriller, part metaphysical journey, it is an intimate portrait of individuals struggling to reclaim their lives and an epic political odyssey across two generations of American history. Limited to 1200 copies, the author's signature appears on a beautifully designed and printed vellum tip-in sheet that is bound into this edition with exclusive cover.Ĭreated over a period of 35 years, Barry Windsor-Smith's Monsters is a tour de force of visual storytelling.
