Sal Buscema, ace Spider-Man artist, interviews

Back in the 1970s, it seems like every Marvel Comic I bought was illustrated by Sal Buscema. Today he lives in Northern Virginia, and I keep hoping to meet him. The Spider-Man Crawl Space website interviewed him and put up 3 podcasts this week.

  1. Thanks a million for this, Mike! Sal Buscema is my childhood fave! If you ever manage to snag an interview, can I come along? (I actually have a legitimate scholarly reason for wanting to talk to him. No, really.) Awesome!
