Artwork Details

DescriptionThis is a bit of an off-beat issue but I was attracted to the artwork. The Sal Buscema Spidey somehow reminds me a little of the later Ditko Spider-Man (see especially the cover to ASM Annual #2) while the Steve Leialoha inks are really nice (I think that he gets less credit than he deserves as he is, in my view, a great inker).As mentioned, the subject matter is rather unusual - not least because while it is the Black Widow kissing Spider-Man, she is doing it with a different persona (believing that she is a school teacher, Nancy Rushman). Still the page presents very well, with Nick Fury as well as the villains, Viper and Silver Samurai, depicted on this page as well. Social/Sharing |

Yes, excellent page. I remember the inks standing out, even as a kid buying this off the stands. It was a little off-beat for sure, but many were to me. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks very much, Reggie! Yes, it was a little off-beat but at least the storyline in the end was coherent.

"Widow, I mean Nancy, I mean you....Oh brother!" 😄
This presents some great, wacky fun, and Leialoha's inks certainly were a favorite of mine during this era!

Many thanks, Rubén! Yes "wacky" and "fun" are great descriptions - very precise as always, my friend!

Many thanks, Michael! I usually go for the "serious" pages but there was just something about this page that struck me - as mentioned, probably the artwork somehow stood out for me. I guess that it is also good to have some fun once in a while!

Besides eating, kissing is another great reason for Spidey to lift his mask up half way. This is supposed to be a Spidey and Shang-Chi team up, but he's the only one not here! So beautiful that Sal and Steve put all those romance panels with a tilted camera angle!

Many thanks, Marcus! It is quite an unusual venue for a kiss though!

One of the best inkers on Buscema!
I agree and, as mentioned, he has not been given as much credit as he deserves.

Loving the kissing sequence. I love too the Spidey's "cosmic" panel. Leialoha was problably the responsible of it. Amazing pencils and superb inks!
