Iron Man 232

A nice set of consecutive pages from the story 'Intimate Enemies' from issue 232 of Iron Man (how I wish I had the cover for that issue). I've always admired Smith's work, in all its phases. I suppose part of the appeal was the fact that when I was reading Marvel Comics in the seventies, here was this young Brit who just went over to the Big Apple with his 'Kirby' influenced samples and made it. For a young boy who always had a penchant for wanting to draw comic books it all seemed very 'fairy tale'. I think he's one of the great stylists and he has been a big influence on many artists. These are some nice flowing panels that show his dynamism and very ably inked by Bob Layton. Nuff said
