...Challenging. Its why I love Paul Smiths approach on UXM - he developed a look that still worked & didnt feel like "down shift". So cool! Solid drawings. No muss, no fuss. No "extra" lines- just the ones that count.

The art, mostly by Paul Smith, is clean and beautiful.

The art... by Paul Smith, is clean and beautiful. His storytelling is clear and detailed, and he draws his characters to look like easily identifiable individuals...

The single best work ever done on that title...

Stern's work with Paul Smith on Doctor Strange is probably the single best work ever done on that title...

Care for the characters

Layout(s) were always reader-friendly, clear, and powerful. I have the feeling that part of my roots as a comic-book artist can be found there.

Paul Smith is always a massive influence

His work on the X-Men in the 80’s was astounding. So striking, clean, energetic and fashionable.

My first X-men comic book that I bought with my own money.

Paul Smith will always be the X-men artist for me.

Smith understands the need for the eye to rest and absorb what it has seen.

Paul Smith's simple, elegant figure work and clear layouts have been a welcome contrast to generations of comics cluttered with unnecessary detail.
