![]() ![]() Windsor-Smith spends a lot of time with McFarland in the first half of the book, and we see how McFarland is bent out of shape by what he has done (arguably becoming monstrous in his children’s eyes and deforming his wife so she becomes monstrous too). To begin with, Bailey is duped into the back of a van by a Sgt McFarland, who then bitterly regrets what he has done. ![]() It’s worth noting, however, this book is not called Monster. Windsor-Smith leans upon the way in which the Americans took the Nazis’ best and brightest after WWII for the most part to forge their space programme – but here it’s all about eugenics and of course it makes a big old mess. You can sort of make out the outline of Hulk in the figure that haunts the cover of the book, young Bobby Bailey, drafted and sent, unbeknownst, to figure in a bit of military experimentation. Barry Windsor-Smith, famous for his work on Conan the Barbarian and Wolverine (particularly the ‘Weapon X’ storyline), is back with Monsters, a work some decades in the making that was originally pitched as a Hulk storyline. ![]()
