Sal Buscema (born January, 1936) got his start in comic books during the mid 1960s as an inker over the pencils of his older brother John Buscema. For at least 30 years after that, he was one of the most prolific artists at the company. In particular, he is known for stints on Captain America, the Incredible Hulk, the Defenders and the various Spider-Man titles. Sal Buscema notably penciled and mostly inked an over 100-issue run on the title The Spectacular Spider-Man from 1988 through 1996. Unlike some fellow Silver Age artists, Buscema's style evolved to meet the grittier, sharper-edged look often employed, beginning in the 1990s.
Buscema usually inked his own work, starting in the late 1970s. In the early 1990s, he returned to inking others' work, again notably over his brother John Buscema's work on an Englehart-scripted run on Fantastic Four. His ability to meet quick deadlines and produce fast work has meant that in addition to his numerous regular titles, he has also pencilled or inked many emergency fill-in issues for Marvel.
