  1. I'm a huge Buscema fan and I've followed his work for over 40 years. I didn't like his inking much when I was a kid. I loved Klein and Palmer. Later I loved Alcala because of the lush detail but it was as much Alcala as Buscema. Did not like DeZuniga. Loved Colletta on his Thor but not much else. I think he ruined just about everything else he touched except Kirby which had the structure to hold his hamfisted line - Kirby is hard to ruin its so solid and doesn't require delicacy. Don Heck, as someone else noted, also never enhanced another artist though I admired his early work. I still love all the guys I used to love but I appreciate Big John's early inking on Avengers which was my main point of reference. i seem to remember him inking some Thor's which were beautiful and I think his later inking on Conan is unmatched. Each of his best inkers has their virtues. when it gets to a certain level it's like trying to chose between any great masters in the history of art Michelangelo or Leonardo, Gaugin or Van Gogh.
