Legendary artist Sal Buscema turns 80 today!!! Surprised there was no mention (that I've seen)
 but to me, he was THE Hulk artist and had memorable runs on a lot of Marvel titles! Cheers!


-C!

One of my all-time favorites!  Wish I'd met him before he retired from conventions.

Sal is a favorite of mine going waaaay back.  I was lucky enough to meet him and get a few things signed at the 2013 Baltimore Comic-Con. I ordered a commission (my first, ever) not long after. He did not disappoint.

If he's not the most prolific Marvel artist, his page count has to be way, way up there.  It wasn't uncommon for Sal to be penciling at least two books a month in the seventies and eighties, usually inking at least one of them, and always ready to jump in and do a guest issue when an artist missed a deadline.  He penciled (and often inked) Spectacular Spider-Man throughout the nineties, then was the regular inker on Spider-Girl for almost a decade after that.  I wouldn't be very surprised at all if he'd passed Jack Kirby at some point in terms of penciled pages for Marvel.
