RIP man


"NEW YORK (AP) -- John Buscema, comic book artist who drew Conan the Barbarian, died January 10 of stomach cancer. He was 74.

Buscema drew Conan, adapted from stories by Robert Howard, for more than 25 years.

Buscema's other work included the Silver Surfer, a being from outer space stuck on Earth. Although Buscema drew many of Marvel's heroes, he preferred noncostumed characters.

He began his career in 1948, answering an ad for The New York Times. He later worked for Stan Lee and other comic strip creators. Buscema's books include "How to Draw Comics the Marvel Way" and "The John Buscema Sketchbook."

Wow, that really sucks ... My dad had hordes of Conan the Barbarian comics. He really did a good job on comics, and the Silver Surfer is awesome.

:(

He shall be missed

Does anyone know if there are still Silver Surfer comics?

Man, that brings back memories :(
 




Just last week I had gotten the "How to Draw Comics the Marvel Way" video from our local library just for kicks. I for one will miss his art, from his Conan to Silver Surfer to Avengers.... John Rocked!
