Some Words with Sal Buscema

One of the all-time greatest Spider-Man artists, Sal Buscema speaks in the latest Crawl Space podcast. I had heard from Tom DeFalco and Ron Frenz in previous podcasts that Sal was a great, down to earth guy, one of the best people you could ever know. After hearing him speak to fans and give advice, I couldn't agree with them more. In addition to being a spectacular artists, Sal is a standup guy.

Give it at listen. You'll find it enjoyable.

Spectacular artist? Of course
One of the best? Definitely
Except he had a period of time drawing a little bit ugly.

Heh, this cover you inserted shows Spider-Man squished by Rhino but in the interior he gives Rhino a fright and a black eye to remember to leave "Peter Parker" because he too has a family

Spider-Haul!

My tax rebate check (finally) came in the mail and after setting some of the green aside for bills, I decided I'd treat myself. Went to my comic shop and snagged myself some cool Spider-Man goodies. I was thinking I'd pick up Amazing Spider-Man #247 to further complete my issues for Roger Stern's run. God must have really smiled on me because when I was looking through the back issue boxes for said comic, I found a copy of Amazing Spider-Man #248, which has the highly praised side story, The Kid Who Collects Spider-Man. And I was just talking about this story a few weeks ago. Go figure. This could be my Spidey biased kicking in, but I've always loved Black Cat more than Catwoman. Don't get me wrong, I like Selina Kyle and her feline alter ego. In fact, she stared in one of my favorite mini series, Selina's Big Score, but I find Felicia Hard to be a more interesting character.
