John Buscema said the same thing, I heard he didn't like doing superheroes either. That's why he loved doing Conan.....

The big difference was, it SHOWED in Big John's work.

I was looking at some of his FF issues this morning, and it's painfully obvious he was phoning it in. The layouts are largely uninspired, and the scenes within those layouts are bare-bones minimum to get the job done.

Thing is, Buscema was SUCH a fantastic artist, even his lesser efforts are still streets ahead (ahem!) of many other artists (such as me!) at their best. I look at Conan pages, where he WAS enthusiastic about the work, and it makes me sad to think his AVENGERS or FF work could have been just that much MORE.

"Classy" sums it up. His women are elegant and sophisticated, unless there is some specific reason for them not to be. They are not the kind of tramps that infest too many superhero comics, passed off as "sexy".
