A fabulously beautiful example of Big John's work. He never looked quite as good a when he inked himself, as that's when you really got to see pure Buscema. Wonderful!

Very true!! While other artists inking of John's work might have looked smoother and lusher, the minute details that imparted action, true human individuality, and emotion in only the way John could do, was lost. Here, there's no dilution or compromise. It's John as John wanted it. THAT is where you can really appreciate his talent.

John Buscema often did studies and prelims to work out these regular bad guy faces in pencil and ink for purposes such as this. A showcase of them are on full display here. They show a great range expressions and keep the action of the story moving. The ones with the black backgrounds are fun to study.

This expertly rendered page plays out so well, it doesn't even need the dialogue.

They're the thuggiest thugs I've seen in comics! Trashy and raw.
