Hey, hey, hey, Groove-ophiles! Sunday will be the 89th anniversary of the birth of the late, great Big John Buscema! Our Pal Sal's big brother made a mark on comicdom in general and Marvel Comics in particular like few others. His powerful, graceful, sculptured art thrilled many a comicbook fiend like yers trooly. Avengers, Conan, Fantastic Four, Tarzan, and so many other comics were graced (and often elevated) by Big John's skills on a regular basis. After Avengers and Conan, Ol' Groove's favorite John Buscema run was on Mighty Thor. He "got" what Thor co-creator Jack Kirby was doing with Asgard (both in costumes and architecture) like few others, plus he was able to bring both the pageantry and power a comic featuring "gods" demanded. Now here are all the splashes from Mr. Buscema's first long run on Thor (178, 182-213, 215-226; April, August 1970-April 1973, June 1973-May 1974 )...for you and...for Asgard!
