| Hope you've had a great day today... many happy returns! Just a quick question re: the Artist Editions... do you have any plans to release a Sal Buscema Hulk, or a John Buscema Conan edition? No worries if you can't say... but those would be two awesome books! I'd especially love to see Sal's work collected where he was inked by Ernie Chan, or Gerry Talaoc. :) | |

Those aren't on the current slate, anyway, but I know that something involving a Buscema brother is in the works.
Although I'd rather do a Hulk book with just Sal inking himself over pages where he was inked by Chan, Talaoc, or Joe Staton. And, you know, I'd make it a Rom book...*
*Note to Bleeding Cool: this is not an announcement
I talked to Sal recently about the various inkers he's worked with, and he definitely liked people like Mike Esposito, who kept to Sal's lines more than an artist like Chan or Talaoc, who brought in a lot of their own style. He was never a big fan of Ian Akin & Brian Garvey in Rom, for instance, since they made the art so much their own. Although he did say how much he respected Talaoc as an artist and inker. (But really, would you rather see an Artist's Edition with, say, those "Puffball Collective" Hulk stories by he and Talaoc or the earlier Sal stories where he inked himself in stories where Hulk fought the Surfer and other such things? Can't go wrong either way, I suppose.)
The one exception to the "bringing in their own style" rule remains, of course, the great Joe Sinnott. Sal loved what he did on his pages, and so did I.
