Eisner Awards Hall of Fame winner Barry Windsor-Smith (Uncanny X-Men, Archer & Armstrong) has come out of his semi-retirement to reveal the impending release of, and art from, his graphic novel Monsters.

According to Newsarama, Monsters is the story of "two disparate American families fatefully connected by an abandoned Nazi project in genetic engineering that has been covertly revived by the U.S. government...[it] explores the disastrous effects of a Nazi program of genetic engineering, discovered at the close of World War II, upon two American families. Told through intimate, naturalistic dialog and drawings, this tale of the cascading legacy of profound evil blazes new trails in revealing the capacity of comics to be a powerful storytelling medium."

Windsor-Smith has not released a project since the publication of The Freebooters, a collection of reprints and new material from his 1995 Dark Horse Comics anthology series Barry Windsor-Smith: Storyteller, through Fantagraphics Books in 2005. In 1999, he was slated to write and draw a graphic novel for DC, An Evening With Superman, but it was never published.

Windsor-Smith started working on Monsters, which was originally conceived as a story for Hulk and later repurposed, in 1998

Monsters will be published as a 250-page graphic novel in 2020. A publisher has yet to be named.
