(Maybe rural Pennsylvania has its share of ranchers?)<br /><br />Murray, I was just thinking the other day how Buscema's work on the Conan book probably resembled a lot of his Thor scenes that featured Asgardians in battle; in fact that may have had a lot to do with my giving CTB a wide berth, since I wouldn't have wanted to see Asgardian fight scenes on a regular basis. "Okay, Conan, you've got a sword, an attitude, and a surly disposition--but that can't be <i>all</i> that sells your book, is it? What <i>else</i> does this book have going for it?"<br />Comicsfanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10064955427593820783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4142199900369238852.post-17064710423588363652019-05-30T16:54:05.139-04:002019-05-30T16:54:05.139-04:00What was with the cowboys in Pennsylvania?What was with the cowboys in Pennsylvania?lordjim6https://www.blogger.com/profile/05473780205710055521noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4142199900369238852.post-15457535676063978052019-05-30T11:53:26.190-04:002019-05-30T11:53:26.190-04:00JB had an excellent run on Avengers, which coincid...JB had an excellent run on Avengers, which coincidentally started with a Dragon Man story.Tiboldthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03787761673589485012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4142199900369238852.post-61027821551440113282019-05-30T09:35:31.230-04:002019-05-30T09:35:31.230-04:00The nub of it is, as far as I've read over the...The nub of it is, as far as I've read over the years, Big John did not enjoy (even "hated"?) drawing superheroes. Conan, Tarzan and such genres were far more his cup of tea. One might speculate that his original stint on "Thor" was the best compromise he could hope for...until Conan.<br /><br />But, I gotta side with the "not a Conan fan" team. An issue or two (at most) a year more than satisfied my appetite for his sword & sorcery adventures.Big Murrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03311467081145732439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4142199900369238852.post-70549287327383543902019-05-30T08:29:04.286-04:002019-05-30T08:29:04.286-04:00Killdumpster, as a life-long Conan fan I strongly ...Killdumpster, as a life-long Conan fan I strongly disagree that John Buscema's massive contribution to Conan was a "waste of talent".

He was the best thing of any book he was on.<br /><br />Wish he'd have had more superhero time, instead of his stint on Conan. I believe he also did Marvel's Tarzan. I think both were a waste of talent.Killdumpsternoreply@blogger.com
