Happy belated birthday to Sal Buscema, who has drawn every character under the sun, but will always be the definitive Spider-Man artist of my youth - merging the style and vibe of John Romita with a modern, gritty sensibility. I loved his run with J.M. DeMatteis - one of the best superhero arcs ever, loaded with history anddark, psychological suspense mixed in with classic superheroics.
A great run, that made me reevaluate his earlier work. When I was a kid I felt he always compared unfavorably with his brother (and to be fair all artists compared unfavorably with Big John at the time), but after his collaboration with Walt Simonson on Thor it was like he finally shook free of his brother’s shadow, and his new approach to storytelling was a perfect fit for the story DeMatteis was telling.
