Barry Windsor-Smith is returning to Marvel Comics.

The artist tells Comic Book Galaxy that he has done a number of covers
for the company: "So far I’ve done an X-Men, and Uncanny X-Men, a
Wolverine, and a Mighty Thor."

Windsor-Smith, who rose to fame at Marvel with writer Roy Thomas on
Conan the Barbarian, says he may do more covers for Marvel as well,
depending on response to the initial batch.

Windsor-Smith is also the author of Opus 2: Time Rise, the latest
volume in the series, which is set for release soon from Fantagraphics
Books.

Just covers? :( Darn. Oh well, here's hoping it leads to more stuff at
Marvel from BWS.

"which has been set for release for a while" would be more precise.

I'm told the book is on its way to the US from the overseas printer
even as we speak.

How old is Barry? (I know he was around for the whole Valiant thing
and I remember something like 189 or so). It's just that I checked
out your site, then I went to Fandom and Joe Quesada commented that
the older guys get dated so I was suddenly curious. I didn't think
artists got dated? I mean Alan Grant is on Avengers, he seems as
fresh as the first time I saw him. I'm just curious if Barry is that
old because he was before the Image event and I thought they're
considered dated.
