Description
Description
From the moment Marvel brought him to the U.S. in 1969, Windsor-Smith was a creative force to be reckoned with. A passionate devotee of Jack Kirby, Windsor-Smith's earliest drawing at Marvel reflected that influence, but he quickly developed his own unique, eye-opening style, combining intricately detailed realism with the dreamlike lushness of art nouveau and late-1960s psychedelia.
This volume focuses on the earliest of his work, including memorable storylines on The Avengers, Iron Man, Doctor Strange, and individual stories for Chamber of Darkness, Tower of Shadows, and Nick Fury, Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. All new benchmarks of comics art, culminating in what may be the highlight of this period: Windsor-Smith's collaboration with writer Gerry Conway on an epic tale of civil war in Ka-Zar's Savage Land. Future volumes will trace Windsor-Smith's career through such milestones as Machine Man and Weapon X.

Critical Reviews
Just some phenomenal artwork.-- "Near Mint Condition"
What I really love about how this collection is curated is you get a cool, chronological sampling of [Windsor-Smith's] work at Marvel and throughout even this Volume One you really get to see an evolution of his style.-- "The Comic Book Report"
A true time-capsule or work, and at a reproduction scale that feels like an artist edition.-- "AIPT"
Back to the Savage Land is a carefully curated creative blossoming, showing an artist still unique in comics from his earliest efforts to the full beauty.-- "Slings & Arrows Graphic Novel Guide"
