Creator: Sal Buscema
Sal Buscema is John Buscema’s brother, but their styles are widely different. Sal was much more prolific, and his talents were more toward storytelling than creating visually challenging work. Standout runs include Steve Englehart’s Captain America run; almost every issue of ROM the Spaceknight; extended runs on Hulk, Spider-Man, Thor and Defenders; and a neat little Balder the Brave miniseries in the ’80s.
He helped create lots of well-known characters including Captain Jean DeWolff, the Squadron Sinister, the Zodiac Gang, the Wrecking Crew, and so many more.
