Sal Buscema

Sal Buscema turned up at Marvel having to deal with the reputation of his big brother John.  But he quickly established himself as a stylish and capable penciler, making his mark initially on The Avengers and Sub-Mariner.  Sal also produced some excellent covers on reprint tiles, including my all-time favorite reprint cover - it's dated Apr 1971, see if you can spot it below!

One of Sal's strengths is rendering a multitude of characters with style and simplicity, which made him a natural choice for groups books like The Avengers
