I’m fortunate to look at Sal’s work in person every day- a page from Spectacular Spider-Girl with his inks over Ron Frenz’s pencils sits atop my desk, bringing a smile every day.

Safe travels, Sal. Thanks for everything.

His influence is still with me today, as you can see by last’s week’s issue of Marvel Rivals, where I do my best impression of a Sal Buscema haymaker.

RIP to a legend, Sal Buscema. One of the core 4 Spider-Man artists of my youth, Sal drew Spectacular Spider-Man 191, the 3rd comic I ever bought. I was captivated by the energy in those panels, and I remember it was a Sal’s Spidey that I first attempted to draw- the last page splash from issue 183.

There’s not many of us!

… it didn’t work.

I’m on it!

I had a much better handle of how to go about drawing Infinity Comics on paper this go round. Each page of script is five panels, so I bumped panel five to the next page in order to give panel one the larger space to sell Galacta’s excitement and Luna’s exasperation.

The first page of Marvel Rivals #22. It was fun to team up with my Avengers United pal @paulallor.bsky.social again.

I will say when I watched it with my kids a month or so ago the egg and juice smoothie was pretty jarring. Had no idea people did that.

That horse dying overshadowed everything as a kid.

That’s really great!

Yessir!

Love reading Will Henry’s Wallace the Brave every Sunday in the @thegazette.com like it was meant to be.

Today’s doodle is Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man! Love being associated with this Spidey, and thrilled with every request I get to draw him.

Spider-Man #19 variant inks

Gorgeous work, Lee!

Continuing a bit of a 90’s theme for these warmups here with the main character of J Scott Campbell’s Danger Girl-

Abbey Chase!

The original art-

🦇 Nightwing 🦇

I was surprised to learn this book is rarer than Action 1. Really amazing find for that family.

When you figure it out, let me know the secret.

Every time I draw him, I’m convinced normal proportions don’t work for Bart. Got to have the big hair, big feet, exaggerated expression.
