The Late Great John Romita Sr. | 2023
Rare comic book art, including pieces from the Superheroes collection and the Legacy editions, will be displayed in the gallery to commemorate not only the extraordinary triumphs of the characters, but also those of the original superheroes behind them: the late, great Stan Lee and the late great John Romita Sr. Anyone who knows their comic book history is aware of the importance of both Stan Lee and John Romita Sr. in the company’s development, so to own one of these incredible limited-edition pieces is to own a rare piece of the Marvel legacy, especially as the artists signed so few artworks.

The Late Great John Romita Sr. | 2023

Ultimately, I love contradictions. I playfully reference art history, big ideas and religious iconography and paint them with irreverence, like a game of consequences, grand themes about life and death, time, and history, approached with a light touch
The artist
Marvel
Stan Lee, the American legendary comic book writer started in 1942 as an editorial assistant for Timely Comics, during which time he met John Romita. The Manhattan-born Lee wrote, art-directed and edited most of Marvel’s series, becoming one of the most important figures in the creation of the Marvel Universe.
John Romita Sr., the celebrated comics artist began drawing The Amazing Spider-Man in 1966, served as an art director at Marvel for two decades and was later inducted in the Will Eisner Comic Book Hall of Fame in 2002, followed by the Inkwell Awards Joe Sinnott Hall of Fame in 2020. An instrumental part in the creation of multiple Marvel characters, the late great John Romita Sr. was best known for his realistic, naturalist and fluid art style.
