John Romita Sr = AMAZING!

[NYComics]

Hi Everyone,

 

Now that con season has slowed down and all of our books are at CGC I wanted to take a moment to share some sketch covers with the Signature Room.

 

**Please note that these sketch covers are from a few years ago and that Mr. Romita is no longer doing this type of work. I am sorry but I cannot help you acquire these.**

 

A few of our friends acquired some great sketch covers as did we over the years and this is finally our chance to show them off to those who will appreciate.

 

To me John Romita Sr. is my favorite comic book artist of all time. Not only that he is one of the classiest, nicest guys I have ever met. I welcome everyone to share their love of Romita Sr. Be it a sketch cover, OA, a story or signature.

 

Cheers!!!!!

Here is the first cover I would like to share. I was collecting some of my fav. spiderman characters and I got Mr. Romita to do a Free style. I gave him no ref. art or anything and he came up with this. It is one of my favorites! I do not think I have shared it before.

Great thread Sean! Yours are both amazing. They fit the space perfectly, it feels like I'm looking at a copy of AMS! The signature placement is perfect on both of them. Just amazing!

True Gems...Love em and appreciate them

Very cool. Now all you need to do is get Stan Lee to sign them and have Joe Sinnott ink them. Congrats!

Nothing should mess with the beautiful simplicity and technical precision of John Romita's pencil work on those sketches.

Don't forget, he did way more than the Spidey milieu:

Maybe the only good thing to come from the "Great Recession"! I still think the only reason I could afford this was the timing in which it was released

I agree. I got some of my very early sketches signed by Stan and I regret it.............about the only thing I actually regret having Stan sign.
