As the titular monsters of the title multiply, becoming real and metaphorical, literal and ironic, the story reaches its emotional and moral reckoning.
Bailey’s only ally and protector, Sergeant McFarland, intervenes, which sets off a chain of cascading events that spin out of everyone’s control. Close-mouthed, emotionally damaged, innocent, trying to forget a past and looking for a future, it turns out that Bailey is the perfect candidate for a secret US government experimental program, an unholy continuation of a genetics program that was discovered in Nazi Germany in the waning days of World war II. When he walks into a military recruitment office, Bobby Bailey has no idea that he is about to fulfill his tragic destiny. Trauma, fate, conscience, and redemption are a few of the themes that intersect in Windsor-Smith’s Monsters. A 360-page tour de force of visual storytelling, Monsters’ vast narrative canvas is part familial drama, part espionage thriller, part metaphysical journey - in sum, an intimate portrait of individuals and an epic political odyssey spanning two generations of American history. Monsters is the legendary project Windsor-Smith has been working on for over 35 years. Part family drama, part espionage thriller, part metaphysical journey, it is an intimate portrait of individuals struggling to reclaim their lives and an epic political odyssey across two generations of American history.Fantagraphics is excited to announce the world-wide publishing rights to Barry Windsor-Smith’s graphic novel, Monsters!

Does that make Rob Liefeld the Barry Windsor-Smith of his generation? Food for thought. When Monsters hits stores next week, it will make Image United #4 the longest-delayed comic in existence. Originally planned as a Hulk story in 1984, the book is finally coming out now, in 2021. As far as comics that have taken a long as god damn time to finally see print, Barry Windsor-Smith's Monsters probably takes the cake.
