Sal Buscema - RIP

Sad news that Sal Buscema passed away on Friday 23 January at the age of 89 years old , just a few days before his 90th birthday. Sal was probably best known for his long runs on Spider-Man, Hulk, Captain America, the Avengers and the Defenders. Like his late brother John, Sal worked on most titles at some point in his career and covered all genres from sword and sorcery, to romance to horror comics. Some of my earliest Marvel purchases in the late 1960’s contained Sals artwork and he has remained a favourite of mine ever since. I have followed his work from Marvel to DC and many indie publishers over the years. My personal favourite Sal comics were form the early 1970’s, but everything he did was just wonderful.
