Never flashy, but imbued with solid storytelling talents he dependably turned out classic after classic in the Groovy Age. Because he was fast and made his deadlines, his art populated huge swaths of the Marvel Universe from the 60s to the 80s. I'm thankful John brought his younger brother into comics with Avengers # 68. We've all been richer for it. Happy belated birthday, Sal and thanks.keythd23https://www.blogger.com/profile/00690368680707726203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7897120082101927069.post-73300974303065910092017-01-27T09:58:25.121-05:002017-01-27T09:58:25.121-05:00Wonderful artist and wonderful sample pages.

Relegated to "hack" status by some nabobs who dote on prima donnas who produced comics at their leisure, the likes of a reliable tradesman like Sal is lost. He was the spine of Marvel, the very matter of the company. As much as we celebrate the writers like Roy, and Steve, and Gerry, it's the images of Sal which dances in our memories. Kirby and Ditko are the fathers of the MU, Big John is likely the finest draftsman, and Jazzy Johnny might be the most popular, but "Our Pal" Sal is the essence for Bronze Agers. <br /><br />Great to see him get some love. <br /><br />Rip OffRip Jaggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09936426877024852134noreply@blogger.com
