To make way for Bill Sienkiewicz, Sal Buscema--whose unwaveringly straightforward style had offset the absurdity of Steve Gerber's The Defenders and Steve Englehart's Captain America--had been taken off New Mutants. 1/

Happy Thanksgiving to my American fans!

For those about to shriek "Woke!" Let me remind you this is from
In 1984's What If...? #44 (by Peter Gillis, Sal Buscema and Dave Simons)

19. 84. Half of y'all were BABIES when this was written, don't try and pin this on 'woke politics'. This is the warning, carved in stone, for ALL. Eyes. Open.

Yet another comic from an age before terrible woke people made them all POLITICAL, from the extremely politically neutral year of 1979, featuring famously apolitical President Jimmy Carter. (Marvel Team-Up #85, written by Chris Claremont, art by Sal Buscema and Steve Leialoha.)
Five panels of President Jimmy Carter talking about the energy crisis: "Many people believe the 'energy crisis' to be a hoax foisted upon us by profit-hungry oil companies. It is not. It is the most serious threat our nation -- our world -- has ever faced. It mattuhs not whether world crude oil reserves are sufficient this yeah's needs or those of the next decade. Sooner or later, oil -- and all fossil fuels -- will run out. We must recognize, once and for all, that our planet's resources are finite. We must choose, my friends, between sacrificing a little today so that our descendants will enjoy a peaceful and prosperous world, or continuing in our profligate ways, thereby forcing our grandchildren to make harsh, brutal sacrifices merely in order to survive!"

The @jmdematteis.bsky.social and Sal Buscema run on Spectacular Spider-Man is one of my greatest comic book - and writing - influences. Great to read J.M.'s thoughts on the work here at his blog: www.jmdematteis.com/2025/09/spec...
SPECTACULAR
I recently wrote an introduction for a Hungarian collection of my 1990s Spider-Man arc, "The Child Within." Since Marvel (finally!) released...

A little late to the party both with reading the run and preordering, but finally managed to secure @jmdematteis.bsky.social’s Spectacular Spidey omnibus, as someone who cherishes that era of comics and Kraven’s last Hunt, my only regret remains not preordering it sooner!

Sal Buscema covered Defenders 9 (1973), the second installment in the Avengers/Defenders War!

This is a cover scan of the copy I used to own.

Spider-Man was my first "guy" I was all about him.
This run, this run... What @jmdematteis.bsky.social does with Sal Buscema here is, to me, the DEFINITIVE Spider-Man.
Not a huge fan of omnibi but glad this is finally in print tomorrow.

Hopefully a Child Within GN follows soon!
