Just a few hours after celebrating Sal B's birthday, I got the news that Sal has passed away. An enormous loss for our industry and for all of us who knew and worked with him. Safe journeys, Sal. We'll miss you.
Sal Buscema turns 90 today. There's hardly a Marvel character Sal hasn't left his mark on, from Cap to the Hulk, Avengers to Thor. Working with Sal for two years on Spectacular Spider-Man remains a highlight of my career. And the best part? He's not just a great artist, he's a truly good guy.

JAMES HIBBERD GOES BEHIND THIS WEEK'S THR COVER STORY WITH GEORGE R.R. MARTIN: Here’s a lie all journalists tell: “We’re unbiased.” We’re not — nobody can be, really. What we actually mean by this is: We try our damn best to be unbiased. And for me, there’s no celebrity I find tougher to remain entirely unbiased about than George R.R. Martin. I’ve interviewed the Game of Thrones author nearly a dozen times since 2011. George generously wrote a blurb for my book, Fire Cannot Kill a Dragon, about the making of the HBO hit. He once texted me holiday wishes on Christmas morning (I was alone at the time, and very touched). Put simply, I like George and have a soft spot for him. This affection hopefully comes across a bit in this week’s cover story profile of the author, “Heavy is the Crown: Inside George R.R. Martin’s Triumphs and Torments.” The story is also, I think, rather candid about Martin’s struggles and stubbornness. It’s a story I’ve hoped to write for years and the fact no entertainment publication has previously granted Martin a solo cover story felt a real oversight given his massive contribution to the world of fantasy entertainment. While I suspect many outlets will jump on Martin’s spicy comments about his feud with House of the Dragon showrunner Ryan Condal (“[The relationship] is not just rocky, it’s abysmal,” he says), or our update about HBO’s development slate (an Arya Stark spin-off?), to me the fascinating part of our interview is Martin detailing his 14-year struggle to write The Winds of Winter (his anecdote about Dune author Frank Herbert, in particular, feels revealing). As I wrote: The success of Thrones was both the best thing that could have happened to Martin and the worst thing that could have happened to the greatest story he ever wrote — and the most popular fantasy series since The Lord of the Rings.
