zephyr424 Posted May 28, 2023 Share Posted May 28, 2023 Greetings. I am wondering if the John Romita signature on this comic is legit? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flchris Posted May 28, 2023 Share Posted May 28, 2023 Have you tried comparing it to other Romita sigs on the net? Also, other places that have authentication services offer a signature review for a fee (~$10). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is that it isn't very similar on a few of the letters, but that could perhaps be due to the pattern of trying to write it along the Torch's legs. flchris 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cman429 Posted May 28, 2023 Share Posted May 28, 2023 Honestly it looks kinda fake to me. If I bought it I’d get it authenticated to be sure bc it looks sus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed Hanes Posted June 2, 2023 Share Posted June 2, 2023 (edited) notice the N but maybe his N just got lazy as he got older Edited June 2, 2023 by Ed Hanes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comicginger1789 Posted June 4, 2023 Share Posted June 4, 2023 So I look at a variety of things. The swooping J, the extension of the middle of the H beyond the edges of that letter. His N sometimes has a little different as I have seen example like the ones posted but others like the original post which are a very rigid N Then on Romita, the R and O are always together. The rest of the letters are separate and not touching. Lastly the middle of the A in Romita extends beyond the letter. The last thing I ask myself is why would someone fake this. It is not a book someone would fake a signature on to up the value as it is just a standard 60s ASM book. All of these leads me to say I feel it is legit. You can spend the money if you want but if it’s just for you to enjoy anyways, just go with it being legit and love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
