Description

Paul Smith, best known for the X-Men and Dr. Strange, recently went on a "Fourth World kick," to use his own words. Smitty has always said that Steve Ditko is his main influence as an artist, but here we can see that he does a pretty mean Kirby as well.

Fourth World and first class. Smitty really put a lot work into this one.

Well said, my friend. I wonder how long Smitty spent on rendering Big Barda's hair-helmet?

Congrats on both the Barda and Mr. Miracle pick ups! I lean heavily towards Marvel, but I LOVE the Kirby designs of these 2. Great takes here by Mr. Smith. Congrats!

Thank you, my friend! I'm a Marvel guy as well, but Paul Smith did such a great job with these Fourth World characters that I had to pick them up.

I am glad Paul Smith decided to explore the Fourth World. This Barda image is worthy of Jack Kirby.
