Marvelous In Every Moment: A Tribute To Sal Buscema
If you're a fan of classic Marvel, Sal Buscema is most likely responsible for many of your favorite comic book memories. He was one of Marvel's most prolific and versatile artists through the '70s and '80s, working on some of the most famous sagas of the era, while also taking on a number of lesser-known (yet no less wonderful) assignments. At one time or another, he drew pretty much every major Marvel title, including Avengers, Fantastic Four, Thor, Marvel Team-Up, Sub-Mariner, Daredevil, Nova, Eternals, Marvel Two-In-One, New Mutants, Iron Man, X-Men, Marvel Spotlight, Ghost Rider, Ms. Marvel, Marvel Premiere, Howard The Duck, Master Of Kung Fu, and all three major Spider-Man series (Amazing, Spectacular, and Web Of). He pencilled defining tales of Captain America and The Defenders, and a ten-year run on Incredible Hulk. And he's also a skilled inker, whose collaborations with other artists, most notably his brother John Buscema, resulted in some of the most memorable books of the Bronze Age.

One of the things about being America's most beloved comic book critic is that strange things tend to show up on my doorstep.

And then I opened one up to find t

Sad news for fans of diabetes: Hostess, the makers of Twinkies, Zingers, Ding Dongs and a line of Fruit Pies has shut down its operations due to cash flow problems and an unwillingness to compromise with striking workers. And while I'm no financial expert, I think we all know the reason for Hostess's decline: They stopped advertising in comic books...

Back when I used to work at a comic book store, my friend Scott and I would have these long, drawn-out conversations over lunch where we'd assign roles to everyday objects based on which super-hero in the Justice League they were most like. We had the Justice League of Pizza Toppings, the Justice League of Coworkers, we even had the Justice League of the McDonald's Menu (the Big Mac is Superman, t

Hal Jordan is no stranger to snack cakes. Why, back in '79 the Green Lantern was saved by Twinkie-armed children from none other than Triclops, the three-eyed keeper of the cave (a villain Geoff Johns should consider reviving). Here in 2010, however, the hero has finally stepped from a Hostess ad to a full-fledged Sno Ball star...
