Sal Buscema - Incredible Hulk (issue 206, page 3)

BEHOLD BRILLIANTS!

Sal Buscema is a God. Between the years 1975 and 1985 Sal penciled 116 issues of The Incredible Hulk only missing 7 issues during his run. Within these same years he also penciled 57 issues of Rom Space Knight, 13 issues of Nova and the Defenders and was also doing filler issues of other various titles. If that isn't enough to impress you consider the fact that many of these comics were inked by Sal himself.

He is the artist I associate with the Hulk more than any other. I remember this page vividly from my youth. That third panel has been etched in my mind for decades and it pops into my head whenever I watch The Avengers movie with the Hulk jumping onto a jet in mid flight. The scene looks like it was taken directly from this page. Right down to the pilot ejecting.

I added an image from that Avengers film plus an image from Ang Lee’s Hulk movie where he also catches a ride on a fighter plane. I’ve always enjoyed comic book battles of the Big Green Guy taking on military helicopters and jets. There is also the bonus that this one page has a beginning, middle, and end in its sequence. This was a must have for me.
