Dave The Wonder Boy:

I want to thank you for all the time and effort you've put
into this topic. All the links you posted, the comic book covers, etc, are
just fantastic. ( Pun Intended. )

I just read where John Buscema died a couple years ago. I didn't know that.
Just look him up on the Net.
He was a great artist! He was reluctant to do comics but as he said in an
interview, it paid the bills...and he was right up there with Jack Kirby and
Curt Swan, being my number three favorite comic book artist.

He died of stomach cancer at age 74.

The link below tells you more :

He took over the artistic reigns after Jack left the FF with
his final issue being # 102. He had a great sense of humor, and was good at
making deadlines. He was a dependable, great artist and a pretty cool guy,
too.

He drew them, and the Avengers and many other comic
titles. He is suurvived by his wife, three children and several
grandchildren.

I hope he, Jack Kirby and Curt Swan are together and talking about the good
old days at Marvel in the afterlife, and are enjoying themselves. They sure
earned with all
the work they did and how they gave us all something to cherish.

Goodbye, John. You will be missed.
