Back Issue Banter #28: Remembering Sal Buscema

About this episode

The episode celebrates the life and work of legendary Marvel Comics artist Sal Buscema.

In this episode, we remember Sal Buscema, the legendary veteran of Marvel Comics, whose work spanned over four decades. Known as a great storyteller, Sal's pencils and inks graced the pages of hundreds of Marvel comics over the years. Known affectionately to fans as "Our Pal Sal," Sal was an artist who consistently did great work, and drew most of the company's biggest characters, including The Avengers, Spider-Man, The Defenders, and too many more to mention here. Sal's artwork is indelibly stamped on the Marvel comics we grew up on and we celebrate his life, work, and career. Sal, your work will never be forgotten by the multitude of fans who grew up on it like we did. Hosted by Chris Karam and Brad Page
