Nightcrawler by Paul Smith

I would imagine that following such comic greats like Byrne and Cockrum as a regular artist on the Uncanny X-men would be a daunting proposition...but Paul Smith's run was up to the challenge and is one of my favorites in the history of comics.

I was fortunate enough to pull the trigger on this NC sketch as soon as I laid eyes on it. Originally there was no "BAMF" sound effect, but Smitty was kind enough to oblige my request.
