Spectacular Spider-Man #154 pg 17 by Sal Buscema (ft Puma)

A fabulous looking three panel action page, and you may one day yet become the "King of Puma Appearances"! This comes from what I think to be the best period of Sal's pencils & inks career. Rock solid, baby!

I hope to get there, man!  If I can get an ASM 257 page, for me, it's a done deal :)  If not, there's always another route!  And when I think "Sal Buscema" I always think "Spectacular Sal" because I associate his work first with this series, particularly the issues featuring Puma and Tombstone.  Thanks for the add!

How can Puma tell Spidey is an Anglo underneath a full mask?  Puma sense tingles at colonizing oppression?  An exciting Sal Buscema fully formed action piece with all the great energy waves coming from the center of the page makes this one a standout! 

STRONG page, man! Particularly love how that middle panel is constructed - so much motion conveyed! Congrats, man!

Puma is stronger than Spider-Man? Hmm. Well it's a great action page!

May depend on the encounter? Coincidentally the last Puma CAF post prior to this one is the cover to Spectacular Spider-Man 111, in Yasha Yothi's collection. Check out the description :) Thanks for the add, West!

Checks all the boxes and then some.  BOOM.

Sal's style was really evolving at this time and you can see he had fun with this. Love the margin notes as well and see them on a lot of Sal's art. Seeing the creative process is so fun. Congrats, thanks for sharing!

And you'd know :) Thanks for the add, Dave. I know you're a HUGE Sal B fan, mostly on his work featuring another character, I think ;) And yes, aren't those margin notes great?! Sweet bonus with this pickup, and with some older pages in general!

Slow down, K!

"Ain't nothin' gonna break-a my stride
Nobody gonna slow me down
Oh no, I got to keep on moving"

;)

Thanks for the add, man!

Sweeeeeet! Love Buscema's Spidey lens. Totally a mark on my collectors bucket list someday. Congrats on landing this wicked slice! 

Winner of a page for sure!!!

What a great page! Don't often see panel pages from Sal's epic SSM run let alone a great page like this! Bravo buddy!

Sal is one of my all-time favorite Spidey artists, and I love the Puma, as well, so this page is an absolute winner in my book. Congrats!

Wow! I know how much you love this villain. Congrats on such an exciting page! 

Fantastic art in every panel!

You know that I love both Sal and Puma as well. Congrats on a fantastic page.

Amazing battle page! Sal&Sal did it very well! Nice pick up! Huge congrats

Great page!

Gorgeous page and perfect for your collection!

It's hard to find a great Spidey page like this on the open market. Lucky you! Action and socially conscious dialogue the only way Marvel knows how. 

Lol, appreciate the new lyrics to go along with the classic jingle!  Thanks, John, and make mine Marvel :)

Defrinitely prime period Sal, and yeah, he knew how to draw a great face-off between two characters.  Really dig that middle panel too.  I'm so glad you got this one, because I know what a huge Puma fan you are.  Congrats on both your posts!

Spidey telling Puma to "take a nap" is just too good :)

Now this is a Puma page. Righteous anger, acrobatic moves, and what a tussle. I so dig the circular action lines in the middle panel and these two speedy powerhouses use their agility to try and get the upper hand. Very cool. And Sal may not have ever drawn the suit webbing quite that perfect. It looks amazing. ;) You were right to jump on this page. Big congrats!

I don't know think I noticed the suit webbing, but you're right - spectacular ;)  I think it particularly shines on the smaller full figure shot in the bottom panel - meticulous stuff!  Appreciate the comments, man.  I know you're a a fellow Sal B/Spidey/Puma fan :)

Sweeeet Sal Spidey page!  The fight choreography is remarkable, so cool!

Awesome Spidey page! Love Sal's art on Spider-Man, he has a real gift for portraying ol' web-head! Three strong panels, but the central one is my favorite--Love the impact of Puma slamming into Spidey and sending books and papers and chairs flying! Just a great battle page by the incredible Sal Buscema!

This page makes me dizzy... in a good way! Fantastic Sal Spidey! Congrats!

Another beauty, K.  I love the tight webbing on Spidey's suit (always makes me think of Ditko), and that middle panel especially has a definite Gil Kane feel thanks to the inks.  Really Spectacular pick up (so to speak), and consider me stunned as well that this page was out there in the open, just waiting for someone to add it to their collection.  It's home now, in the best possible place!  Congrats, man!

I absolutely love this page. You really know how to pick 'em! Congrats!

Puma + Spidey + Sal = ❤️

Amazing 

Great page!

Pure Nostalgia!

Sal Buscema was my Spider-Man artist as kid. Most associate him with Hulk but when I think of Sal, I think of Spider-Man.
