Plot
John Buscema is regarded as one of the greatest draftsmen & most influential artists in the history of comic books. Big John started his long career in comics in 1948 and during his 50 years in the industry, John worked on every genre; crime, westerns, Sci-Fi, etc., but his most famous work was produced after his return to Marvel in 1966.
Arguably second only to Jack Kirby in importance & page production for Marvel comics, John lent his prodigious pencils to all of Marvel's mainstay characters at one time or another; The Avengers, Sub-Mariner, Spider-Man, Thor, Fantastic Four to name but a few of the host of characters & books that John drew for Marvel until his retirement from the company in 1996.
Sadly John passed away in January of 2002, but his memory & talent will never be forgotten by all of those comic fans who know & appreciate beautiful drawing
