	Barry Windsor-Smith Interview - Comic Book Artist #2 - TwoMorrows Publishing
		As with almost all of my characters they are, in some form or other, extensions of myself (even the girls), and it's not unknown that, at times, the Windsor-Smith Studio more resembles the Ram and the Peacock tavern than an art studio.
		Barry: I needed to be free of constraints and policies that were imposed by the dictates of creating entertainment for children.
		Barry: Yes and no. Roy had sent me all of the Lancer paperbacks some months prior to our beginning the first issue, so my prior affinity was merely months old but, as it happens, that made my perceptions energetic and fresh because I was utterly hooked by Howard's writing style.

	Michael Netzer's FLAMING SWORD PRODUCTIONS - The Daily Flame
		Being Barry Windsor-Smith does not give one a right to trample someone's career and have them expelled from a place of work because they made the mistake of not knowing that Barry Smith had added Windsor to his name.
		Clifford Meth, whom I've also known since working in the comics in the 1970's, explained why he didn't include a piece contributed by Barry Windsor-Smith to the Dave Cockrum Tribute book he produced last year, in an article at his Past Masters column at Silver Bullet Comic Books which can be seen here.
		Barry's allowing for this pompous arrogance to come from his staff and to shut the door on Clifford's attempt to apologize is the type of rudeness which dwarfs any claims they have of Clifford's in asking for the interview.

	IGN: The Freebooters Review
		Barry Windsor-Smith has created such a fun cast of characters and an imaginative world that I was disappointed to see it abruptly cut off.
		Part comic, part behind-the-scenes article, Barry Windsor-Smith's The Freebooters is definitely unique.
		Instead of seeing the resolution to the primary story, a variety of alternate stories including the "end" to The Freebooters are reprinted (a party where a variety of characters from Storytellers meet each other - BWS chose to draw all three series' to a close with this final tale).

	Barry Windsor-Smith : Opus Vol. 2 (Barry Windsor-Smith),Books,Cheap Discount Prices,Compare,Free Shipping,1560973935 Fantagraphics Books 9781560973935
		Barry Windsor-Smith's second volume of his metaphysical autobiography is much better designed than the first and features some rather nice comicbook-style drawings, but it feels less "meaty" than Opus 1, despite being slightly longer.
		Regardless of his goals, Barry Windsor-Smith is a comic artist best known for being the first to handle Marvel's adaptation of Conan.
		I dunno how this book has been promoted, but I think it is very clear from the backcover and inner covers that this is as much an autobiography as it is an artbook.

	Adastra in Africa - doctorsbookstore.com Info and Reviews
		Barry Windsor-Smith was one of my favorite comic artists when I used to collect comics in the 1970s and 80s.
		This story was originally created by Barry Windsor-Smith over a decade ago as the third and final installment of the "Lifedeath" issues of Marvel Comics' The Uncanny X-Men.
		Marvel's editors declined to publish the story and Windsor-Smith revised the story to be an episode from the earlier life of Princess Adastra, one of the members of the Young Gods serial presented in the STORYTELLER series.

	barry windsor-smith
		Not only did Barry do a fine job of illustrating the book, but he took over the writing chores and delivered a fun and humorous comic book.
		From the frenzied soldiers to Conan attacking on horseback to the archers firing down arrows from an elevated ridge, Barry's art gives you the feeling that "you are there".
		Among comic fans, Barry is probably most well-known for his work on Conan the Barbarian.

		These are the comics wherein Barry Windsor-Smith came into his own and developed his world famous style.
		Goodman instead requested that the art chores be given to a rookie at the bottom of the pay scale, thus Barry Smith, with less than a dozen issues under his belt was given the gig, and the rest, as they say, is history.

	Area51's Community Newspaper: The Review
		It is completely written and drawn by Barry Windsor Smith, with ink assists by Alex Bialy, and color by Tom Vincent.
		Smith hit the charts with his visual interpretation of Conan back in the 70's, for Marvel Comics.
		His lush linework with influences from historical art movements such as Art Nouveau and Japanese Prints, gave Smith an entirely new and fresh look to the Barbarian, as well as introduced the idea that comics need not all emulate Neal Adams (popular influence back then).

		This was originally in Black and white but was reprinted as a large format colour book.
		His style was a mixture of decorative pre-Raphaelite whimsy and Jack Kirby.

	Amazon.com: The Essential Conan, Volume #1 (Conan the Barbarian #1-25): Books: Roy Thomas,Stan Lee,Barry Windsor-Smith,John Buscema
		Barry Windsor-Smith's gorgeous art is the reason to buy this volume (even without the great colouring that originally enhanced them).
		Barry Windsor-Smith has long been my favorite "comic book artist," and this collection traces his evolution as such quite admirably.
		Jim Steranko cracked open the door on stylized illustration in color comics, but Barry Smith was the one who gets credit for busting all the way through.

	The ADD Blog at Comic Book Galaxy - Pushing Comix Forward
		Further, I think it unfair to subject someone as important as Barry Windsor-Smith to my unworthy company; unfair to ask him to descend from Olympus and grace this editor—whose career he offhandedly stepped on as if it were a bug—with his divine etchings of unparalleled perfection.
		Barry Windsor-Smith has violated Clifford Meth's Constitutional RIGHT to get a phone call from the object of his enduring love/hate obsession.

	CONAN Official Website
		All of Barry Windsor-Smith’s interior artwork will be collected--including “Red Nails” from the Savage Sword of Conan magazine--but some covers remain lost, acknowledges Allie.
		Collecting the first eight issues of the legendary 24-issue run by writer Roy Thomas and artist Barry Windsor-Smith.
		Apparently they only exist in printed form, and with so much clutter on the image, let alone the poor quality a printed source proves, it’s just not viable to go that route.” So for now those paintings will remain tantalizingly out of reach for fans of Windsor-Smith’s Conan art.

		Granted it's an unfinished work but from the start, creator Barry Windsor-Smith makes no bones about it; this book is as much a testament to his ongoing struggles with the comics industry as it is about the space-faring adventures of Princess Adastra of Orgasma.
		YOUNG GODS is an ode to those woeful experiences; painstakingly documenting his most recent outing: a creator-owned comic book series titled, appropriately enough, Barry Windsor Smith: Storyteller, that was cancelled by its original publisher after twelve issues, with only nine ever seeing the light of day.
		In a brutally honest epilogue, Smith succinctly summarizes his thirty-five year tenure in the comics business, citing "gross mismanagement", "executive stupidity", "malfeasance", "blatant disenfranchisement", and "managerial malpractices" for all but destroying what many consider an accomplished and distinguished career.

	Rambles: Young Gods & Friends
		My evaluation of the re-release of Barry Windsor-Smith's Young Gods is as confused and directionless as was the original comic book series.
		As an artist, Windsor-Smith's style is inherently different from Kirby's and, admitting that art preference is subjective, simply outstrips the former "King of Comics." Both have their own internal logic, but Windsor-Smith is better at anatomy and his characters don't assume melodramatic, stiff poses like Kirby's.
		By Smith's own admission, his title was a homage to legendary comic-book artist Jack Kirby, who was best known for a wealth of imagination, action-packed melodramatic epics and for co-creating most of the characters still published by Marvel Comics.

	The Illustrators of Robert E. Howard
		Barry (later Windsor-) Smith was the first artist on the Conan comic book when in debuted in 1970.
		Other contemporaries such as E. Hoffman Price and Clark Ashton Smith were drawn back to the shelves of bookstores in the wake of the Howard vortex and did not spark any graphic notice or interest whatsoever.
		John Buscema was his replacement and Smith's lyrical, almost Pre-Raphaelite stylings gave way to Conan as man/brute - the Frazetta model as seen in the Lancer paperback cover above and in John Buscema's cover for the 1971 magazine, Savage Tales, which was soon replaced by The Savage Sword of Conan.

		Aftermath: In this second volume of the remarkable 4-part Opus series, Barry Windsor-Smith recounts the amazing transformations he experienced in the wake of the transcendental phenomenon he calls The Endless Waves of Time.
		Propelled by an unknown "Source," the young artist of Marvel Comics' Conan the Barbarian struggles to maintain his sense and his sanity while coping with his advanced faculties of perception.

	Amazon.com: Wolverine: Weapon X: Books: Barry Windsor-Smith
		So while Barry Windsor-Smith was telling the story of "Weapon X" ("Before Wolverine" the first cover tells us), there is a multi-part story featuring Shanna of the Jungle and various stories involving everyone from Daredevil and Dr. Doom to Red Wolf and Captain America.
		The chief attraction of "Weapon X" was that Barry Windsor-Smith was doing the artwork.
		Barry Windsor-Smith both scripts and provides the breathtaking art.

		The final collection of Roy Thomas and Barry Windsor-Smith's seminal run on Conan the Barbarian.
		The one substantive complaint about these reprints of the "Conan the Barbarian" comic books that Dark Horse has been reprinting as a prelude to launching their own version of Robert E. Howard's brawling barbarian has been that the original covers drawn by Barry Windsor-Smith for Marvel Comics have been omitted.
		The main subject of my review is the impact of the heavy handed colorization on Barry Smith's artwork.
