Sal's Sunday Punch #20

And now it's time again for your favourite pal Sal to demonstrate why no one could draw a punch like him. 

This time how about we raid the pages of Rom Spaceknight again, huh?

Pow!!

This beauty comes from the pages of Rom Spaceknight #31, written by Bill Mantlo and drawn by our Pal, Sal Buscema. The basics? In this issue Rom fights (and defeats pretty handilly, I might add) the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants. It's the lineup with Rogue, Mystique, Blob, etc. My favourite part in the entire issue is this fight with Blob.

As you know, Blob is immoveable, can't even be harmed when he plants himself in one spot. Unfortunately for him Avalache (another one of the evil mutants) caused an earthquake that sent Blob flying through the air. Well... you've already seen how that ended.

This issue leads into Rom's second fight against his nemesis Hybrid. Remind me to tell you about him some time.

Sal's Sunday Punch #16

It's been a while, and I have left you without the gloriousness of a Sal Buscema punch. To make up for that I thought I'd post something a little bit special. There's been something of a Hulk/Spider-man bias so far with the Sal Buscema punches. The reason for that is simple -- Sal had a very long relationship with both Spidey and the Hulk, with long runs on Incredible Hulk, Spectacular Spider-Man and the Defenders.

So let's look at a different character with whom Sal had a long and eventful relationship. Rom: Spaceknight!

Oooo! ouch, Rom!
