Spidey defeated Corona and her virus 30 years ago. 1 1

[XxSpideyxX]

I have a 30 yr old Spider-Man comic where he faced a new villain who was spreading a deadly virus throughout the human population.  Her name was Corona and he was finally able to defeat her with the help of Mr. Fantastic by creating an antidote and containing her.

I grew up reading the majority of Sal Buscema’s run.  He had a definitive style that stands out like so many other Spidey artists over the years (Ditko, Romita, Kane, McFarlane, Larson, Bagley, JrJr, Ramos, etc.), I respect these artists who brought a unique style to some of the most popular books and had long runs of success.

Nicely spotted comic book connection there.

I don’t mind Sal’s artwork at all.  For me he’s associated with some very good Spider-Man stories during the 80s / 90s period, especially J M DeMatteis’  psychodramas.

Harry Osborn's corn rows always annoyed me

I'm the same way.  I started collecting late 80's early 90's and those Spectacular Spider-Man books were actually some of my favorite to read at that time-  Especially those issues with Tombstone and Punisher.

The Captain Universe Spideys were really hot for a minute there during Acts of Vengeance.

I loved Acts of Vengeance, such fond memories.  Punisher 28 has such an awesome cover, Spider-Man versus Magneto was cool as was X-Men 256-258.  Even Wolverine versus Tiger Shark was cool.

This has heated up. 

WRT Sal Buscema, not being able to draw well is not a "style"

First it heats up. Then it starts coughing, and next comes pneumonia. Then it dies.

I was never a fan of Sal's art. He was good at the basics, but not a good completist. He should have just been used for layouts and let someone else finish it. Look how much nicer the art looks from these pages of Avengers #71, versus what's in those Spectacular Spider-Man pages. You can still tell it's Sal, but it's worked and detailed so much better.

I love Sal's art until the mid 1980's - early 1990's and after.

Example: his work on this issue of Rampaging Hulk is great!
