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.
The graphics provide a snapshot into the early modern era of Marvel Comics. Fans will instantly recognise the significant illustrations by some of the world’s most acclaimed comic book artists. Never before exhibited in the UK, the fourth instalment of The Legacy Collection boasts covers and splash pages which showcase legendary superheroes like Iron Man, Wolverine, Spider-Man, Black Widow and Captain America.
To echo the vivid colours and dynamism of the original large-scale artworks, each graphic has been created by a specialist atelier team using the fine art giclée printing process. This painstaking technique captures the fine details of the original works, including the meticulous shading and ink strokes that added a new dimension to the costumes, weapons and explosive fight scenes.
Ever-evolving, fantasy art is a fascinating genre that captures the artist’s imagination with the portrayal of magical worlds and mythical subjects. Avoiding abstract forms, it tends to lean towards naturalism like Nigel Humphries or Robert Bailey’s art or embrace graphic novel aesthetics like our Marvel artworks.
Collected by celebrities including Harrison Ford, John Travolta and Tom Cruise, Robert's incredibly detailed original pencil drawings are the perfect addition to any Star Wars fan's collection.
