That’s how I feel too. Meanwhile, Schumer is working on a strongly worded statement and wondering if the bold font in his PowerPoint is too aggressive.

Judging by the letter column a few issues later, Starman Vol. 1 #35 was a polarizing issue. #DCComics

The name Sal Buscema takes me back to my first years reading Spectacular Spider-Man. Sal’s Spidey is the Spider-Man in my head. His fingerprints are all over the Marvel Universe. Above all, he was a powerful storyteller. Rest In Peace.
