Madelyne Pryor
Madelyne Pryor was introduced during the acclaimed 1983 "Uncanny X-Men" run that saw long-time writer Chris Claremont pair with artist Paul Smith for a series of issues that would see the Jean Grey look-alike marry the retired X-Men leader Scott Summers (Cyclops).
Barry Windsor-Smith
Windsor-Smith produced his first published work in 1967 and 1968 – single page "Powerhouse Pinups" of Marvel Comics characters for "Terrific" and "Fantastic" comics, titles published by Odhams Press that included licensed Marvel Comics reprints for the UK market. Following this, he flew to the U.S. in summer 1968 with fellow artist Steve Parkhouse for meetings at Marvel in New York. "I sent material first, and based solely upon a pleasant return note from Stan [Lee]'s assistant Linda Fite, my pal and me were at Marvel's doorstep in the blink of an eye." Largely due to his Jack Kirbyesque style, Marvel Comics Editor Stan Lee gave him the job of drawing both the cover and story of "X-Men" No. 53 (cover-dated Feb. 1969), credited to Barry Smith as he was then known. He drew Marvel's "Daredevil" #50–52 (March–May 1969), a Western short story, "Half Breed" (probably the story "Outcast" eventually published in "Western Gunfighters" No. 4, Feb. 1971), and issue #12 of "Nick Fury, Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D." (May 1968), both scripted by Parkhouse. Windsor-Smith later called his early art "amateur and klutzy" and a "less than skillful" Kirby imitation, but Stan Lee liked it enough to give him more work.
