Been meaning to frame this poster for BATMAN VS. ROBIN (the first of the multiple DC animated movies I've written) for years, but never got around to it. My wife finally did it for me and it's going up on the office wall this weekend.

the great @jmdematteis.bsky.social has paid tribute to Sal Buscema with a story about their collaboration on SPECTACULAR SPIDER-MAN 200. It's a great lesson about writing that can apply to comics as well as TV/movies. And an even better tribute to Sal's talent

Just a few hours after celebrating Sal B's birthday, I got the news that Sal has passed away. An enormous loss for our industry and for all of us who knew and worked with him. Safe journeys, Sal. We'll miss you.
Sal Buscema turns 90 today. There's hardly a Marvel character Sal hasn't left his mark on, from Cap to the Hulk, Avengers to Thor. Working with Sal for two years on Spectacular Spider-Man remains a highlight of my career. And the best part? He's not just a great artist, he's a truly good guy.

Hate talking on the phone?
call when they are closed and record a quick message. You can even practice it beforehand so you don't get awkward on phone like some of us do.
That's what I did.
Except the practicing part... Learn from my mistake. 🙄😁

If you're in New York, please take two minutes right now to call Governor Hochul and tell her to support and sign New York 4 All, which would prevent state and local agencies from collaborating with ICE.

How can you not feel for his parents at this time?
Their son was a good man and this administration is trying to vilify him. We should all be grateful to the brave people who kept filming what took place, from multiple angles, so that all of us could be witnesses to what actually happened.
