Another reason to love the library: just a 75 year old first edition of a science fiction classic, still in regular circulation. Missing the original dust jacket, sadly.

@ComicContext Some days you just can't get rid of a clam.
Comic wall update, in tribute to the great Sal Buscema who died last Friday at the age of 89.
First is Marvel Tales #76 (1976), which reprints Amazing Spider-Man #95 from 1971. Alas, it was only inked by Sal Buscema, a fact I only learned just now looking up the issue details for this toot but it's already framed and hanging so oh well. The pencils are by John Romita Sr, which I should have known.
Next is Peter Parker, The Spectacular Spider-Man #158 (1989). This was part of the big Acts of Vengeance crossover event that year, and in this issue Spidey is imbued with immense cosmic powers. It was only temporary, lasting several issues across three titles, but the cosmic Spidey storyline was really fun. He punched the Hulk into orbit! This one really was penciled by Sal. RIP.
@lmorchard Same. We sign up for it when we invite them into our lives and hearts. It never gets easier, and it's worth it every time. So sorry for your loss.
