Big John started his long career in comics in 1948 and during his 50 years in the industry, John worked on every genre; crime, westerns, Sci-Fi, etc., but his most famous work was produced after his return to Marvel in 1966. <br><br>Arguably second only to Jack Kirby in importance & page production for Marvel comics, John lent his prodigious pencils to all of Marvel's mainstay characters at one time or another; The Avengers, Sub-Mariner, Spider-Man, Thor, Fantastic Four to name but a few of the host of characters & books that John drew for Marvel until his retirement from the company in 1996.<br><br>Sadly John passed away in January of 2002, but his memory & talent will never be forgotten by all of those comic fans who know & appreciate beautiful drawing.*<p>Learn More about John Buscema here:</p><table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"><tr><td width="305"><ul><li type="circle"><a href="http://home.ca.inter.net/owenandsusan/" target="_blank">The Official John Buscema Web Site</a></ul></td><td><a href="http://home.ca.inter.net/owenandsusan/" target="_blank"><img src="http://comicartcommunity.com/siteimages/jslogo.jpg" alt="" height="39" width="179" border="0"></a></td></tr></table><p>*Huge thanks to Owen O'Leary of the John Buscema site for his bio text and contributions to this gallery.
