Barry Smith

X-O Man O War v1 #5, 1992 - A treacherous Ken Clarkson plots to steal the X-O armor from Aric. Barry Smith captures how the suit  congeals around the visigoth Aric on this monochromatic cover. This unique feature helps remind readers of the suit's alien roots. This deceptively simple layout is easily Smith's best cover of the series, Other artists in this modern age comic include Mike Leeke. This is 4 of 4 X-O Man O War issues by Smith.
