Why Not Say What Happened? Episode 31: Why Sal Buscema Has Me Thinking of Vinnie Colletta

Posted by: Scott    Tags:  comics, Jim Mooney, Why Not Say What Happened    Posted date:  February 3, 2026  |  No comment


This time around, I dream of Action Comics #1, consider how the death of Sal Buscema has me thinking of Vinnie Colletta, decide Jim Salicrup will outlive us all, regret my near-miss with Jim Mooney during my honeymoon, remember the time Mike Friedrich threatened to punch me in the nose, and more.

You can eavesdrop on all those memories via the embed below or download them at the site of your choice.

Here are a few images related to a couple of the topics I mention this episode —
