Description

What better way to scratch that 80s vintage itch than a Buscema panel page from early in Alpha Flight?

Five horizontal panels in this one give is a really nice snippet of the story:

1. Omg there�s a lady with a samurai sword
2. Oh, Wolverine is here, ok we should be ok
3. Dialog - but look at wolverine�s claws
4. more dialog, more claws!!
5. Wait, what�. She is here for Wolvie�s bones? This should be interesting

Picked this guy up on CAFs show - dueling dealers from Romitaman - thanks mike

This page maximizes blades per square inch! Nice page!

Fabulous Alpha Flight page by Sal Buscema! I love how Sal used five horizontal panels on one page, instead of using the usual six panel format. Very innovative.

Brodie : Should I call you Logan, Weapon-X?

Jay : No, *Wolverine*! Shnickty shnickty shnoine!

Brodie : See, what he's doing is imitating Wolverine's berserker attack with his adamantium claws.

T.S. Quint : I never would have guessed.

Jeff Wedding : No imitation going on with this page.

Alpha flight 33 (grail Mignola cover with Magneto and the xmen ) and issue 34 were great reads. Love the intro of Lady Deathstrike prereavers and the lord dark wind back story. Congrats on a great page. I think you accidentally put issue 37 in the title.

Lots of editor notes with the dialogue for each panel. Marvel Method at it's finest by some of the bullpen's brightest! Three lines from Wolverine is enough? Yup.

Such a fun page. I remember buying this from Burkey for $125 and later selling it for a whopping $175. Good times!

As a teen, I hated those issues which looked ugly to my young eye, especially after the Byrne run. I love the textured Buscema/Talaoc combo as an adult, on AF but even more so on Hulk.

Great issue and great layout. Not sure I get Taloc's inks on Buscema, but I will concede that they provide a different feel to Sal's clean pencils.

Oooh, nice! Sal Buscema doing and early Alpha Flight page with Wolvie popping the claws?!?!? That's a home run piece! Congrat Scott! I love it when you post Sal Buscema art - keep em coming (just don't start buying Hulk - I'd be dead in the water ;)

I've come for your bones...How great would that be for the start of a horror movie? But just another day in the life of Mr Wolvie. Sal and Talaoc was such a great pairing. I loved them on Hulk, and they look great here, too. Such a gritty style combination. I love the all horizontal panels choice, it really takes the scene home. Great find. Congrats!

I am confused, not. Shes here to get boned by Logan...No, she wants his bones. Worse double entendres than a carry on film. Still, this is one of the better, post Byrne issues with quality artwork. I gave up reading around issue 60, by which time it was total crap.

I love a good face off, especially when it's Wolverine and a Samurai!
