That Spectacular Spider-Man run with writer @jmdematteis.bsky.social & Sal Buscema (RIP) is special enough that an Omnibus was recently issued.
It is a thrilling #SpiderMan era...even with the Clone Saga forcing everyone outta the pool for cleaning.
There's such a beautiful simplicity to Spidey.

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.
