Smith, also known as Smudge, started out at
Marvel UK as a comic book artist, providing the art for a number of issues. This is something he would continue to do over the years, moving on to work on 2000 AD. Here, he got his big break inking the pencil art of fellow British artist
Gary Frank on the Motormouth title, that would be renamed Motormouth and
Killpower. The inking talent from this work would go on earn Smith an Eisner Award nomination. From this collaboration, Smith became widely known to the American comic book market as well. Their art team would quickly move on to join writer
Peter David for a long run on The Incredible Hulk at
Marvel Comics in 1993, and then in 1997 they reunited over to
DC Comics for the start of the Supergirl series. The artists then moved on to the
Image Comics imprint
Wildstorm where they began work on Gen13 in late 1997.
