glendgold Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 (edited) Weren't we just talking about this guy? It's Labor Day, a celebration of workers, and Sal Buscema was Marvel's 1970s/80s/90s workhorse, as others have pointed out. Josh Grey just posted this over at CAF, and it might be the best Sal B. thing I've ever seen. It's not just the inker, though that of course brings a LOT to the image -- the composition itself is pretty powerful. https://www.comicartfans.com/gallerypiece.asp?Piece=1573911&GSub=0&GCat=32006&UCat=32006 I'm also attaching the only piece of Sal B. that I still own -- the introduction of the Band of the Bland.

This is a Bill Sienkiewicz piece though, through and through. I'm sure Sal didn't mean to, but "his" feels so much like an ancient "Bill" - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mxs7 Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 Bought this years ago without knowing what, if anything, it was used for. Later discovered it was both a Marvelmania Catalog cover and a pin-up in a Marvel Treasury Edition. But the most insane fact about this piece, discovered with the indispensable assistance of Glen Gold, is this is Sal's try-out art that landed him the Avengers gig!

GreatEscape Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 Sal's title splash from Marvel Team-up Annual #1 (1976), the first comic I ever read with the New X-Men. These guys are different but pretty cool, I thought. Unca Ben, BCarter27 and JadeGiant 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
