Your 91st Co(s)mic ComicBook B'Cast.

Hi, thanks for dropping by for Your 91st Co(s)mic ComicBook B'Cast. So what am I going to share for this edition of the B'Cast? Well, I'll tell ya, I'm going to put together a few more pics of George Perez's work. So I'm working on that but before I put that out, here's a look at some of my favorite comic covers.

This is my all time favorite comic book cover. This is the issue of The Mighty Thor that introduced Beta Ray Bill.  I love what Walt Simonson did for this cover. I can remember when I first saw this cover and wondered to myself.. .who in the world is that!!??

Another favorite of mine is this cover by Dale Keown and Mark Farmer. I love Keown's art on the Incredible Hulk but there's another reason why this is another favorite of mine, an appearance by the U-Foes. Great cover!

I've always been a fan of John Byrne. I love his work on Alpha Flight and Fantastic Four. This issue of The Incredible Hulk remains my favorite as it features the Bi-Coastal Avengers as they take on The Incredible Hulk. Another great issue and great cover by John Byrne.

Another Walt Simonson cover. Simonson put his mark on Marvel's First Family as he did both the art and the script on Fantastic Four. For this issue, he took the FF into the time stream and brought a familiar face with them,  well two familiar faces. I'm talking about Iron Man and The Mighty Thor. Great cover!

After Walt Simonson left the Mighty Thor, I stopped reading Thor. .. until I saw this issue and I jumped back to reading the Mighty Thor.  Ron Frenz and Brett Breeding created some awesome covers for this title.

I like how Frenz and Breeding drew Thor in his battle armor. Their run on Thor remains a favorite of mine. Love their covers.

This is a recent cover. The cover is from The Immortal Hulk by Alex Ross. I love Alex Ross's art on this cover with the Absorbing Man taking on the Immortal Hulk.

Here's a cover from The Uncanny X-Men by Jim Lee and Scott Williams. Great cover.

I absolutely love this cover. Look at the beautiful detail by Liam Sharp. It is so striking and it just grabs your attention. Great work by Liam Sharp.

Here's the cover to X-O Manowar by Bart Sears and Ray Kryssing.

Okay, one more cover. Here's another favorite of mine. Featuring my favorite super villain team, none other than the U-Foes. Cover art by Sal Buscema and Al Milgrom.
That's a look at my all time favorite comic book covers. Hope you liked it. I enjoyed seeing these covers as I was posting them. I'm working on more editions of Your Co(s)mic ComicBook B'Cast and I'll post them soon.
Thanks for dropping by. Take care Comic Fan!

The 81st Co(s)mic ComicBook B'Cast: The Art of John Buscema Part 2

It's another Co(s)mic ComicBook B'Cast, glad you're here again as we take another look at the artwork of a truly talented artist by the name of John Buscema.  This time around I'm going to concentrate on his work in Fantastic Four.
When you mention the first family of Marvel Comics, a number of names come to mind, chief among them, Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, Rich Buckler, George Perez, Joe Sinnott, John Romita Sr, Ross Andru, Sal Buscema, Keith Pollard, John Byrne ( I'm sure I've forgotten a lot of artists on this list, sorry about that) and who could forget John Buscema.
John was definitely one of the main pencilers on Marvel's Fantastic Four, he made the Fantastic Four unforgettable and well...Fantastic!!
John started with Fantastic Four # 107 with writer Stan Lee and inker Joe Sinnott with a story titled: And Now...The Thing.

The Cover to Fantastic Four # 107 by John Buscema and Joe Sinnott and below the pages from this issue.

Let's take a look at the covers and interior artwork of John Buscema and his collaborators on Fantastic Four.

The cover to Fantastic Four # 112 by John Buscema and Frank Giacoia.  This issue was titled: Battle of The Behemoths!

 Here's more of John Buscema on Fantastic Four.

Fantastic Four by John Buscema and his frequent collaborator, Joe Sinnott.  This is a beautiful piece.
Thanks for dropping by for this edition of The Co(s)mic ComicBook B'Cast for the art of John Buscema on the Fantastic Four, this is just a small sample of his work on this one title, there are more beautiful covers and pages by this talented artists and that's what I'll be sharing with you on the next edition of the B'Cast.
Oh hey before I forget, A Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you and yours, take care.

The 79th Co(s)mic ComicBook B'Cast: A look at the Art of John Buscema.

He was born Giovanni Natale Buscema but to us comicbook fans, he was just John, John Buscema.  He was a talented comicbook artist and and one of the mainstays of Marvel Comics from the 1960s and 1970s and later when Marvel Comics became the industry giant.

Over his illustrious career he drew almost every Marvel character from Silver Surfer, The Avengers, Fantastic Four, The Mighty Thor, the list is endless.  Name a character and John Buscema left his unmistakable mark on that character.

He's perhaps most associated with none character, Conan the Barbarian.  He has penciled at least one issue of almost every major title marvel has published and had two long memorable runs of two of Marvel's Top titles, Fantastic Four and The Mighty Thor.

I have to admit here that I didn't start out as a fan of John Buscema's work.  I wasn't a fan in the beginning but after a few friends told me about his artwork, I slowly but surely learned to appreciate his work.  I smartened up and saw how talented he was.  Here's a look at the beautiful artwork of Big John Buscema, starting off with The Silver Surfer.

 And here's a character drawn by John Buscema that's closely associated with the Silver Surfer, Mephisto.

Next we have The Mighty Thor.  A look at just a few of the covers John drew from his run on The Mighty Thor.

He also provided the art for Wolverine's on going series with legendary inker Al Williamson.

Let's not forget his work on Earth's Mightiest Heroes, The Mighty Avengers.

This was John's first issue of The Avengers, he did the cover and interior artwork, George Roussos did the inks for the cover and interior art.

 And we have a look at John's run on The Avengers with Tom Palmer.

Let's not forget his work on the Sub-Mariner.

I'm sure you remember, Conan The Barbarian.

 John even drew the comicbook adaptation of the Conan movie, I mean who else could draw Conan like John?

Big John Buscema has influenced many artists over the years.  Many of them have credited John as the artist they admire and tried to emulate.  He has received numerous awards in his storied career, too many to mention here, here's one I'll mention, in 2002, John Buscema was inducted into the Will Eisner Comic Book Hall Of Fame.

My sharing today featured a small sample of John Buscema's work, there are more beautiful examples of his work out there.

I'll share some of his other work on a future post, so if you want to see more, then let me know. Thanks for dropping by for this edition of the broadcast as we take a look at the work of a truly talented artist, his name is John Buscema.  Thanks for dropping by.  See you next time.
