13 COVERS: A JOHN BUSCEMA Birthday Celebration

A Sky-Rider of the Spaceways salute!

When we do our 13 COVERS birthday celebrations, I like to come up with a theme. Last year, for John Buscema’s birthday, we highlighted Conan the Barbarian. (Click here.) This year? The Silver Surfer.

Why? No reason except I have new fondness for the Surfer because of what Dan Slott and the Allreds have been doing on the title for the last couple of years. So I just wanted to take it back to the original Silver/Bronze Age series. Simple as that. (By the way, Buscema did 14 covers for that original series so I’m including them all. I make the rules, I break the rules.)

Buscema was born Dec. 11, 1927, and died Jan. 10, 2002.

Surf on, Big John.
