Monsters

"The artist famous for his work on Conan the Barbarian in the 1970s has been drawing, redrawing and refining this graphic novel for three decades. Not surprisingly, Monsters’ story – about a man who’s subjected to a secret government experiment that transforms him into something terrifying – is as dense as its drawings are. Barry Windsor-Smith ranges over a vast narrative canvas (the book is over 350 pages) to explore wide-ranging questions about the nature of humanity and the scope of individual responsibility. His artwork is astonishingly intricate, straining to reach the heights of expressionism in every panel."

""Monsters" is his magnum opus. I hope I get to meet him someday."
