Machine Man v2 #4 - Barry Windsor Smith art & cover

Barry Windsor Smith

Machine Man (limited series) v2 #4, 1985 - A final battle between the Iron Man of 2020 and Machine Man comprise the anticipated climax of this limited series. Unlike the previous three issues, Barry Smith produces the artwork in its entirety. The layouts, pacing and above all, the drawings are breathtaking. The fight scenes are violent but not gratuitous, yet beautifully choreographed. Other pages are equally impressive, including the group dynamics of the opening splash, the expansive citywide view from above (see interior page below) and poignant farewells in the epilogue. This copper age series was reprinted in the Machine Man trade paperback. This is 4 of 4 Machine Man v2 issues by Smith.
