One of the most iconic comic book creators in the history of Marvel Comics is Barry Windsor-Smith, who is one of the small handful of living artists who was working at Marvel Comics in the 1960s. Barry Winsdsor-Smith became a household name in 1970 when he and Roy Thomas launched Conan the Barbarian (ironically, Smith was only the artist on the project because he was LESS well-known at the time, so his page rate was lower than Marvel’s star artists at the time, and thus was affordable for Marvel even after the company paid the licensing fees for the Conan character). However, Smith’s work was exemplary even before he made his Conan debut, and Fantagraphics is going to celebrate Windsor-Smith’s iconic Marvel career with a three-book collection of Windsor-Smith’s Marvel comic book work, The Marvel Creator Collection: Barry Windsor-Smith, beginning with Volume 1, The Marvel Creator Collection No. 1: “Back to the Savage Land”, which is on sale right now!In its press release for the project, Fantagraphics described it thusly:
