Sal Buscema, Comic Book Legend, Dead At 89 | Comic Book Club Sal Buscema, a comic artist best known for legendary runs on Marvel's Incredible Hulk and Spectacular Spider-Man, passed away last Friday, just short of his 90th birthday.

Some of you will remember my posts raving about Sal Buscema.

He's gone now.

He did some unforgettable work with @jmdematteis.bsky.social and his run on The Incredible Hulk was an indelible part of my childhood.

He had a good run. To be appreciated in your own time is the best thing for artists.

His crackdown is over? Nobody told ICE in Maine. I am *begging* people not to forget about us.

ICE is running their MN playbook here too, and still.

Family of man killed by off-duty ICE agent in LA demands charges: β€˜The ache will never go away’ After Renee Good’s killing in Minneapolis, calls grow for accountability in the shooting of Keith Porter Jr on New Year’s Eve

Re-upping this story . . .

Mr. Porter's is not the only one, sadly. Not all end in deaths, either (e.g., Marimar Martinez). Not all are shootings (e.g., Chaofeng Ge, Gabriel Garcia Aviles)

I would argue his run on Spectacular Spider-Man with Peter David and J.M. DeMatteis are probably the best - or at least my favorite - Spidey stories of all time.

If it isn’t something Robin Hood or Marian are willing to eat, they’ll take it to go and give it to a homeless person or something along those lines.

Gisbourne would kill the people who messed up his order.

The sheriff would arrest the entire restaurant staff and auction it (and the land) off.

Don't bring Laken Riley into this to exploit her tragic death. The Minneapolis murders are about state sponsored domestic terror by ICE and CBP goons.

Donate to Support for Keith’s Daughters After Tragedy, organized by Keith Porter My 43-year-old son, Keith, was tragically killed on New Year's Eve in Northri… Keith Porter needs your support for Support for Keith’s Daughters After Tragedy

Keith Porter had - has - a daughter.

The GoFundMe set up for her & his family has a goal of $300K.

A modest goal.

He was murdered two weeks ago & the goal HASN’T BEEN MET YET.

Meanwhile Renee Good’s GoFundMe was SHUT DOWN when it passed $1.5 MILLION.

Sal Buscema’s one of my all-time favorite comic book artists, and one of the first whose style I could instantly put a name to when I got into comics over 30 years ago.

What the Library Is For and Why β€œJust Buy the Book” Gets It Exactly Backwards Libraries exist to guarantee equal access to ideas; telling families to buy books themselves undermines equity, choice, trust, and opportunity.

Anyone ever say to you when you're talking about banned books some version of, "Well if you want the book, just buy it!" The Freedom to Read Project broke down exactly why that argument doesn't stand up to scrutiny:

As for why beating them is so important, they’re willing participants in Prince John’s plot to claim the throne.

Robin’s no Richard loyalist, but if John succeeds, thousands of innocent people will die, and that’s what Robin wants to prevent.

Well, my MC is Robin Hood.

The very short answer:

Sir Guy of Gisbourne hates Robin for beating him at a tournament when they were both newly-made knights.

Marian’s father framed Robin out of spite, buying a guilty verdict from the sheriff of Nottingham.

We need everyone we can get in this fight against a fascist takeover.

If your first instinct to someone being politically mobilized by all this is to give them a sneering "well, what took you so long?" you don't actually care about our winning this; you just want to be able to say you were right.

We have a so called President who will only help fund states that voted for him. His Republican followers have amnesia when Democratic Presidents, in the past didn’t care about whether you were a Red or Blue state. The President has f the United States is supposed to be for all Americans.

5 Big Reasons Why Electricity Prices Are So High Right Now The average U.S. household is projected to spend nearly $1,000 this winter to heat its home.

Apparently our electricity bills are going through the roof and this is partly related to data centers that hog huge amounts of electricity to generate information. I, for one, feel hopping mad about this. The companies that are using the data centers should bear the cost.

Target in Minneapolis has pulled Hispanic employees off of pick-up order duty after ICE arrested two US citizen Hispanic employees while on the job.

β€œI’m literally a U.S. citizen!” one shouted as they escorted him into a van.

It’s not just that they are murdering people who are peacefully protesting, it’s that they then stand in front of the cameras and slander the victims by telling us that what we see on the videos didn’t happen.

"ICE will leave Minnesota if you hand over your voter rolls" tells you everything you need to know.

"Why is it so normal for law enforcement β€” those who are supposed to be keepers of law and order β€” to kill Americans? And why is the only question at the end of the day how much their victims deserved to die?"
