His   career dated back to the Timely\/Atlas era of the late ’40s and early ’50s.   Soon after beginning the Marvel Age of Comics, Stan Lee recruited Buscema   from the advertising field to the Marvel Bullpen. Buscema followed a long run   on Avengers with the   long-anticipated first Silver Surfer series. He subsequently succeeded Jack Kirby on Fantastic Four, Thor and other titles. By the time   of his retirement in 1996, Buscema had penciled nearly every Marvel title —   including his personal favorite, Conan the   Barbarian.","brand":"Marvel Universe","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46304831996133,"sku":"NP9781302955540","price":44.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9781302955540.jpg?v=1767742543","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/products\/thor-epic-collection-the-eternals-saga-isbn-9781302955540","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
