A monthly wall calendar featuring a gorgeous full-color Romantic painting for each month of the year. When Barry Windsor-Smith began his career as a comics artist in the late '60s, working on Marvel's new Conan the Barbarian series, the young artist immediately made a name for himself as one of the most exciting stylists ever to arrive upon the scene. Infusing a Pre-Raphaelite influence into comics had never been done before, and Windsor-Smith created many of the most elegant and beloved comics of the 1970s with stints on Conan the Barbarian, The Uncanny X-Men, The Avengers and more.

Then, after he had taken the mainstream comics form to new artistic heights, Windsor-Smith left comics to pursue the creation of single picture, "easel" works, deciding that mainstream superheroes were not the best medium to foster his widening artistic ambitions. He founded The Gorblimey Press, which released many fine art prints of his own works that reflected a more refined pursuit of his Pre-Raphaelite, Romantic and Symbolist interests. It is these handsome works that comprise the majority of the BWS OPUS Calendar 2003. 13" x 16"; Full-color; 12 full-color plates plus covers and monthly calendar.
