John Buscema (December 11, 1927–January 10, 2002) was an American comic book artist and one of the mainstays of Marvel Comics in its 1960s and 1970s heyday. His brother Sal Buscema is also a comic book artist.

Buscema was born in Brooklyn, New York City, New York, United States. He was originally attracted to comics by Hal Foster's strip Prince Valiant, and his lush, detailed style bears comparison with Foster's.

Buscema's first hit was his run on The Avengers (beginning in 1966, with writer Roy Thomas), and after that pencilled at least one issue of nearly every major Marvel title (notable exceptions being Iron Man and X-Men, although he worked on some X-Men spinoff titles). In particular, he stepped into the breach when Jack Kirby left the company in 1970, helping it weather the loss much better than it may have otherwise.
