AND NOW... JOHN BUSCEMA!
Thank you all for voting in my recent poll. The next days will be all about Big John and "his" FF. With one exception...
"And Now... The Thing!"
FANTASTIC FOUR #107 (1971)
Lee, Buscema, Sinnott
THEN JACK WAS GONE!
When Kirby left Marvel, what was then one of their flagship titles needed a new artist stat. Stan asked Romita who only agreed to do a few issues. There was no way he could fill Kirby's shoes on the FF!
THE FANTASTIC FOUR #105 (1970)
Lee, Romita, Verpoorten
NEVER. EVER.
Underestimate a Deadman! Or Neal Adams.
AQUAMAN #52 (1970)
Neal Adams
IT'S ALIVE. ALIVE! - AND I'M BACK!
Missed you, too. (And yes, Deadman is in this issue as well!)
"Monster in the Morgue!"
THE FOREVER PEOPLE #9 (1972)
Jack Kirby, Mike Royer
TEN: WHEN JACK KNEW WHAT WOULD HELP TO IMPROVE SALES
A floating head! Of course, silly! And he delivered!
"Mister Miracle To Be!"
MISTER MIRACLE #10 (1972)
Jack Kirby, Mike Royer
REASON EIGHT WHY I LOVE KIRBY'S MISTER MIRACLE:
THE FEMALE FURIES...Any further questions?
"The Battle of the Id!"
MISTER MIRACLE #8 (1972)
Jack Kirby, Mike Royer
IT AIN'T EASY BEING THE OTHER GUY
Whenever Mike Grell was out of town (or working on his other hit book) DC called on ALEX SAVIUK to get the job done. And a fine job he did.
"The Vengeance of the Crumbler!"
GREEN LANTERN #115 (1979)
Denny O'Neil, Alex Saviuk, Dave Hunt
BRING BACK THE BACKUPS! PRETTY PLEASE.
Some books in the 70s featured the most amazing backups... Some even better than the main story... like in this issue.
Katma Tui saves The Guardians! What lovely art!
GREEN LANTERN #107 (1978)
Cary Burkett, John M. Fuller, Bruce Patterson
BLACK WIDOW. ON A BIKE. IN THE RAIN. IT DOES NOT GET BETTER!
Well. There is always space to add some Dr. Doom. That makes it better!
NIGHT. NIGHT. More Widow tomorrow!
MONSTER CROSS-OVER! AND: FIVE CAME TO KILL A VAMPIRE!
Best of luck with that, but isn't a vampire already dead? Or undead or something?
THE TOMB OF DRACULA (1972-79)
Kane /Romita/Palmer, Kane/Palmer (three times)
