While training as a boxer, he began painting portraits of boxers and sold some cartoons to the Hobo News. He provides a few fill-in pencil jobs (the Cosmic Powers Unlimited mini- series, Doom 2099, Fantastic Four 2099, Thor, and Fantastic Four, Silver Surfer, and a Silver Surfer/Rune special) and in 1996 after a long, productive, and fruitful career, formally takes his well- deserved retirement at the age of 68.
It's unfortunate that Buscema himself didn't take up regular writing chores on the title (he had plotted five solid issues, #'s155-159) as he had strong plotting and storytelling skills as evidenced in his preference for the 'Marvel method' of storytelling (i.e. (With issues #74 & 75 being exceptional, #75 featuring the introduction of Arkon). (Ironically Buscema claimed to have a nearly complete disinterest for superheroes, although this never showed in his work). Cruz inks) with a lively, entertaining 20-issue run. He finished the pencils on a Superman project started by Gil Kane (who had since passed away), SUPERMAN: Blood of my Ancestors (Nowlan inks, 2003) and had just signed on for a 5-issue mini-series with Roy Thomas called JLA: Barbarians. Buscema's work for Western dried up in the late 50's as the industry takes a nosedive (His work on Indian Chief #'s 30-33 is notable later work).
According to Buscema: '...it was quite a learning period for me in my own development of techniques.' 1999 also saw the publication of a lively Spider-Man Annual with full Buscema art, five of the six-issue 'Galactus the Devourer' mini-series which he handsomely penciled (Sienkiewicz inks), and a fill-in Thor issue (Ordway inks). The Conan franchise eventually begins to struggle editorially, however, (no regular inker was found to fill DeZuniga's shoes, although Rudy Nebres provided excellent occasional jobs and even Nestor Redondo did an issue, SSOC #90) as Buscema becomes increasingly disenchanted with the writing on Conan and will gradually drop all Conan work altogether. This is probably true to a certain extent, but Buscema's work continues to develop nonetheless. Jun 30, 2013 - Explore drobmail's board "John Buscema", followed by 199 people on Pinterest.
He later reunited with Stan Lee on the 'Just imagine Stan Lee and John Buscema creating Superman' (2001) project. Of note for this period is his work on Roy Rogers Comics (starting in 1954 with a long run of stories, #'s 74-97; 104-108). Alfredo Alcala was the regular inker on SSOC until #24 and they produced some highly regarded stories, adapting the works of Robert E. Howard. The peplum genre is especially suited to his style and could be considered a good preparation for his later work on Conan. Buscema continues to tackle new genres with a stint with the Punisher (Punisher War Zone #'s 23-30). He was inducted into the Eisner Hall of Fame in 2002. He also contributed some superhero drawings for Pro, the NFL official magazine (1970) and even penciled some chapters for the first issue of Marvel Comics Super Special Magazine featuring the rock group KISS (1977). in a variety of medium. 1997 was the first year in 30 years where new Buscema material did not appear on the stands - it would also be the last year in Buscema's lifetime, as Buscema, ever the workhouse, continued to receive assignment offers which he would take on, his retirement thus becoming a 'semi-retirement'. Buscema spent around eight years in the commercial art field associated with the Chaite and Triad Studios, doing a variety of assignments: layouts, storyboards, illustrations, paperback covers, etc.
One could characterize Buscema 50's work as a period of gradual constant improvement; his work was continuing to improve as he left the field, which is somewhat different from other of his contemporaries (such as Williamson, Frazetta, Wood, Drucker, Toth, Heck, Ditko) who often experienced an earlier youthful artistic peak period. Giovanni Natale Buscema was born on December 11, 1927 in Brooklyn, New York (a few months earlier than Frank Frazetta, also a Brooklyn native).
