Description
I am far from the world's biggest Hulk fan and, while I am a fan of Sal Buscema, I have never read his run of Hulk. I also wasn't planning on buying any published art at OAX this year, but things change when Stingray gets involved.

On Saturday morning my friend and podcast co-host Jason (Southern Comic Geek) texted me a picture of this page to which I immediately replied "WHERE?". He pointed me in the right direction and off I went to find the page at the Nostalgic Investments booth. When I arrived there, Tariq was hanging out and making a deal and he managed to nudge Bechara into giving me a little bit of a discount on the page. So to Jason and Tariq, a huge thanks! You guys are the best!

This is the final story page of the issue and depicts the Hulk getting bored of whooping Stingray's ass and bounding off to find his next victim, the bully! This page is great as it has a powerful, angry Hulk, a dog, and Stingray in almost every panel! My name (Stingray's last name) is on the page, AND we get to see Stingray unmasked, which doesn't happen all that often. All of the words are paste-ups, but it's they're all there, so that's a bonus! This is a very nice example from one of the greats who recently left us. RIP Sal.

Remember when it was a good thing someone said, "You're not worth my time?"  For Stingray it was.  He was about to become so much human pate on that street.

Another gorgeous Buscema/Alcala page.  Congratulations.

Now this is a great Stingray page!  Never heard of that other big guy.  Wonder if he'll ever be popular?

That's a lovely page! Great angles and storytelling, some great rage expressions - and all finished off with some slick Alcala inks.

I'm glad the dog got some characterization! He not only defends with barking, but asks philosophical questions too!

And you could ask the question of if that's even a doggo. Panel 4 looks like a bobcat. Shapeshifter? This seems important...

Wonderful page!  You know we all love to see the ol' ray get tossed around every once in awhile. Brings new meaning to "Feeding Billy" in the next issue! Where is Bob Layton when we need him?

Awesome vintage pickup by the late great Sal B!  And last page OA is some of the best with that bottom preview caption.  Congrats!
