Gone Horribly Right: The virtual simulation that allows Logan to massacre the staff. It is designed to hone his current animalistic mindset into a more focused and deliberate method. The trauma and catharsis of the simulation actually allow Logan to wake up in the real world and escape.

Info Dump: The Professor takes the time at one point to explain some of Logan's military history and his nature as a mutant. Previous Winners: 1977". Eagle Awards.

DeFalco "1980s" in Gilbert (2008), p. 219: "Machine Man was a living robot who was relaunched in 1984 by Tom DeFalco, Herb Trimpe, and Barry Windsor-Smith."Special mention goes to him waking up during the Adamantium bonding process (i.e. having his skeleton coated in molten metal).

Be Careful What You Wish For: Experiment X wanted to turn Logan into an Implacable Man. They succeeded all too well. Thanksgiving Day 1950 was the day when his father, Tom Banner, a recent and embittered W.W. II veteran, turned on his family for the final irrevocable time. Was Once a Man: Name dropped by Dr. Cornelius after getting a good look at what they have turned Logan into.

The first volume provides examples of the following tropes:

From Space to Environment, Fluxus to Furniture Music: The Women of Kankyō Ongaku By Sadie Rebecca Starnes Censor Shadow: While he's nude for the majority of the story, Logan always has his parts obscured by either a shadow or a convenient piece of technology.

Admiring the Abomination: Early in the story, the Professor convinces an extremely unfortunate junior technician to enter Logan's cell as he wakes up, which rather unsurprisingly leads to his death. The Professor, who's been watching on a CCTV monitor, mutters "Magnificent". a b "Text of Barry Windsor-Smith's Eisner Awards Hall of Fame Acceptance Speech". Comic Book Galaxy. 29 July 2008. Archived from the original on 12 February 2012. Windsor-Smith mounts compelling scenes of Elias cooped up in his basement taking scissors to his collection of Golden Age comics, or Tom plotting violent vengeance on the men who comforted his wife during his war. But these passages are there to take us deeper, to show how the men's dances on the threshold of their minds leave their families at thresholds far more real - abandoned by their breadwinners and traumatized by their behavior, left to the mercy of a society with just this side of nothing to offer them. Slowly, Janet Bailey emerges as Monsters' real main character, a desperate, determined woman dumped into a nightmare no self-sacrifice can stop from playing out. Keith Haring says every audience member is an artist because they create the meaning of a piece of art By Jon Sands

I recommend this to everyone, but with a massive CW. This is triggering shit. My recommendation is because I believe it’s important literature, and a someday iconic classic of our time. It’s an example of just how serious, mature and transcendental a comic book can be. I think it made me a better and wiser person. Barry Windsor-Smith's The Freebooters, Young Gods, The ParadoX-Man. Kingston, New York: Windsor-Smith Studio, 1995(?). OCLC 36362038 Sanderson, Peter "1970s" in Gilbert (2008), p. 146: "Writer Roy Thomas and British artist Barry Smith (later known as Barry Windsor-Smith) launched Marvel's sword-and-sorcery comics with Conan the Barbarian, in a series that ran for 275 issues." Manning, Matthew K. "1990s" in Gilbert (2008), p. 252: "It was not until Barry Windsor-Smith wrote and illustrated the thirteen-chapter Weapon X serial that fans really sat up and paid attention [to the Marvel Comics Presents series]."

Since leaving Valiant, Windsor-Smith has worked for a number of companies. For Malibu's Ultraverse line he co-created Rune with Chris Ulm, including a crossover one-shot comic titled Conan vs. Rune published by Marvel Comics in 1994 after they took over Malibu. As a result he once again came up against legal ownership problems, and the Rune stories have remained un-reprinted as a result. For Image Comics he worked on the crossover storyline " Wildstorm Rising", drawing and coloring Wildstorm Rising No. 1 (May 1995), and all eleven of the covers for the interlinked series. Windsor-Smith later said that he was talked into illustrating Wildstorm Rising, and regretted participating in it, stating that in reading the story and illustrating it, he could not understand the motivations of any of the characters, even when he read earlier Wildstorm books featuring the characters. He says he altered the plot in an attempt to improve it and his enthusiasm for it, later learning that writer James Robinson was not pleased with his doing so. [31] Smart, James (6 May 2021). "Monsters by Barry Windsor-Smith – a great, grim slab of postwar angst". The Guardian. Archived from the original on 6 May 2021 . Retrieved 6 May 2021.If you’re of a certain age, Barry Windsor-Smith’s name is synonymous with ‘Weapon X’, the iconic storyline that ran in “Marvel Comics Presents” in the early 1990’s that arguably remains to this day the definitive Wolverine story. Windsor-Smith’s classically trained illustrations were almost too good for “Marvel Comics Presents,” a series that was often host to newer talent, and did not court icons such as BWS, whose work on Conan comics for Marvel some twenty years prior are almost as recognizable and enduring to the property as Arnold Schwarzenegger himself. Nevertheless, Windsor-Smith’s story about the mutant Wolverine getting his adamantium claws via some truly vicious government experiments not only enlightened fans on Wolverine’s murky past, but also made for a pulse-pounding epic about an unstoppable killing machine that you just might actually be rooting for, if only because the people being killed are worse than the monster they created in Wolverine (or “Weapon X” as he is designated). It is interesting, then, that Windsor-Smith would return to this trope so many years later, but it’s obvious the creator has much more to say. The ugly cynicism and moral bankruptcy of the United States in carrying out “Operation Paperclip” seems to be just as potent a villain to BWS as any costumed creep.

"Prometheus rebounds: An alternative path for the Incredible Hulk legend in Monsters by Barry Windsor-Smith". The Times Literary Supplement. Archived from the original on 29 April 2021 . Retrieved 29 April 2021. There's an old writing adage that says show don't tell. BWS manages to do both -- at the same time. He shows us what's going on and then has a character write down what just happened in her journal. Or people will talk about what's happening as it's happening. This doesn't just happen once, but over and over again.
