And finally, an artist I’ve loved ever since falling under the spell of his work back on his short but much-loved run on The Uncanny X-Men back in 1982/83, just 10 issues in all but one that’s stayed with me all these years… Paul Smith. Since then, he’s worked on many other books.
And the original cover version for issue 169…
A few X-Factor covers…
Some of his other Marvel work… a beautiful run on Dr Strange…
Then some DC work… The Golden Age
And from the magnificent series created by Smith and writer James Robinson, Leave it To Chance
