OPUS Hardcover Volume 1
Simply put, at 176 pages of the finest full-color reproductions possible, OPUS is the definitive
retrospective of Windsor-Smith's career to date.
In 1999 Fantagraphics Books presented the first in a series of hardbound volumes titled BARRY
WINDSOR-SMITH: OPUS. These full color editions present scores of never-before-published paintings
and drawings from the artist's 30-year career, while reprinting many of his classic works from the '70s,
'80s and '90s. Not autobiography in the strictest sense, the texts in these gorgeous art books are sure to
create excitement and controversy among his legion of existing fans while simultaneously attracting new
readers from devotees of the paranormal, as Windsor-Smith recounts his life's adventures not so much
as a painter, storyteller and comics artist, but in the mysterious realms of cosmic experience.
Writing with the wit and style that has kept Windsor-Smith at the forefront of the storytelling arts, the artist
explores the new meanings and changing values of objective reality in this modern world of quantum
physics and its attendant theories of time travel, multi-dimensional life-forms and extraterrestrial visitors.
In addition, OPUS presents many of Windsor-Smith's greatest achievements in art, acknowledging all
facets of his professional career as well as featuring an incredible amount of never-before-seen
sketchbook material, paintings, and illustrations. Windsor-Smith provides commentary along with all of
the art included; cumulatively, OPUS offers significant insight into the mind of one of comics' all-time
greatest creators with its mix of artwork, autobiography, and philosophy. No Barry Windsor-Smith fan can
resist OPUS' allure.

With his previous book, BWS: OPUS Vol. 1, legendary artist Barry Windsor-Smith joined the illustrious

Now, in the second volume of the OPUS series, Windsor-Smith continues his autobiography called TIME
RISE. Following his bizarre inter-dimensional journey, the young superstar of Marvel Comics' Conan the
Barbarian fame discovers that he has acquired advanced psychic abilities! This is the true story of the
artist's struggles to deal with the transcendental, yet maddening, effects of meta-consciousness. 224
