Comics Should Be Good! (Free subscription) | 23/11/2009
Each day in November, I will read and review/discuss/whatever one comic taken from a box of some of my childhood comics. Today, it's Wolverine #25. The Nostalgia November archive can be found here. Wolverine #25 by Jo Duffy and John Buscema is a solid little one-off story that wouldn't really work as well now as it did [...]

When you think of the classic Marvel artists, you think of masters of the medium such as Jack Kirby, Steve Ditko, John Romita Sr, John Buscema, and Gene Colan. No wonder Marvel left all other American comics publishers in the dust. This coming February, Marvel Entertainment will honor one of those gentlemen by releasing The Invincible Gene Colan , a visual tribute and biography...

... new character and/or title after another, Marvel had settled into a comfortable groove in 1967. John Romita was well entrenched at Amazing Spider-Man , John Buscema was aboard at Avengers and Gene Colan was at the beginning of a long run on Daredevil .

... Deathlok and does in Demon-Hun te r , he synthesizes the best of Kirby, Adams, Jim Steranko, and John Buscema into a dynamic style of his own. He had some pretty wild ideas of his own, too! Just dig Demon-Hunter 's cape. Yeah, we've seen capes that could lead to other dimensions ( Cloak, Obsidian ) and capes that seem to be alive ( Spawn ), but Buckler's Demon-Hunter did it first--and...

As Halloween is nearly upon us I thought I'd give the John Buscema Avengers banner a rest for a while and go with some lovely Gene Colan Dracula art. And as a bonus here's another pic of Drac, giving it the full Lord Of Vampires treatment.
