Sub-Mariner #3, June 1968
Five straight weeks in the Spring of 1968. Five comic book issues drawn by the legendary John Buscema:
Sub-Mariner #3
Avengers #53
Sub-Mariner #4
Avengers #54
Silver Surfer #1 (38 pages)
Gems. Every single one. (And yes, I might be biased, because these comics are from my newsstand-era sweet spot — 1967-1973 — but I’m not wrong.) My guess is that only Jack Kirby ever had an achievement similar, or greater.
This Sub-Mariner page featuring Namor and Triton is the best Buscema superhero page I’ve ever owned, and unless an amazing opportunity comes my way, will likely remain that way.
Dynamic inks from one of John’s favorite inkers, Frank Giacoia.
All action.
Just terrific.
