Critic of comics who might love too many things
Sal Busema has died at the age of 89, a comic legend at least to me, he never got the strong critical acclaim of guys like Jack Kirby, but if your the right fan you know how good he was, and if nothing else, I'm going to miss the way he drew punches in comics.

it's kind of funny looking at Comics strips vs comic books because they REALLY WERE HUGE back in the day and a cartoonist could be one of the most talked about people but as time went on that just grew less and less, I think the only BIG modern strip artist we talk about is....

Not any particular adventure I remember that said and again that said this is hard to look up because he regularly teams up with people named Medusa and Gorgon who are not actually related to those concepts

Ok i would be legit kind of shocked if this sort of thing hasn't been answered in a comic before with what the 4 get up to. Has anyone ever tried to Medusa The Thing?

All things considered, Batman never meeting Zorro, a character that by all accounts SHOULD be public domain is kinda fucked up
He met The Shadow at least.

Doing a deep dive into Wizard aka the 90s comic trash magazine that still had effect on our lives this weekend I ended up finding one of the earliest pokemon articles debuting a few months after the show hit it’s kind of fascinating to see how they advertised it

One of the more weirder deep dives I went into this weekend was spider-girl popularity, in the late 90s it seems like she was actually quite the hit character if being able to go up against pokemon at the time
