Plot
Includes several complete stories, as well as an outstanding sampling of Big John Buscema’s classic stories, covers, and pages from the mid 1960s to the late ’70s in the groundbreaking Artist's Edition format!
The artistic mastery of John Buscema is apparent on every page of this book—an incredible selection of stories, covers, splashes, and interior pages. Viewing these pages, it’s easy to see why Buscema has been called the Michelangelo of comics.
Like all Artist’s Editions, each page in this book has been scanned from the original art, allowing the reader a rare glimpse of a true "artist's artist" work. As you peruse this book you will see editorial notations, white out, blue pencils, and so much more--all the subtle nuances that make original art so unique. The only way to better view these pages is if you were in John Buscema’s art studio as he was drawing them!

Sucker for visuals I truly am, hence JB's work on Marvel icons well deserved this magnificent AE. Including 3 full Stories, 28 legendary Covers (some Unreleased), 88 glorious Interiors, 21 appealing Scripts, a complete, assorted appendix with his lesser-known outputs and, most importantly, several ASTONISHING and GIGANTIC FOLDOUTS (the kind that blows your mind). Big John Buscema's style is sterling lyricism, fueled by robust intensity. Inspirational. An array of perpetual and unswerving SuperHero Imagery. I just adore how HE CRAFTED Namor, Thor, Silver Surfer... And The Vision (a creative effort along with Thomas). In this XXL publication, his personal annotations and pencils are distinctly enjoyable. So inks, blues and white-outs. Raw scans whose sharp reproduction here revealed The Finest Mastery In Comic Book Illustration (q.v. Jusko's preface). Once I finished its delightful read, cannot help but recommend it. Right away, amongst THE MVPs in My C📚LLECTI💎N. #GraphicPrime@9thArt
