Alfredo Alcala Illustrator & Author

John Buscema (1927-2002) literally wrote the book on being a Marvel artist—namely, How to Draw Comics the Marvel Way—and few were better qualified. By the time of his retirement in 1996, Buscema had penciled nearly every Marvel title—including over 100 issues of his personal favorite, Conan the Barbarian.

Alfredo Alcala’s work includes Weird War Tales, Tarzan, Savage Sword of Conan and Planet of the Apes.
