DescriptionThis is a truly incredible Original Art Page to R.O.M. #63, published by Marvel Comics in February of 1985. It features artwork by one of the most legendary comic book artists of all-time, Steve Ditko. Ditko is a true legend, obviously best known for his classic 1960's Marvel work, where he co-created the Amazing Spiderman with Stan Lee. After leaving Marvel, Ditko did Silver and Bronze Age work for DC and Charlton, including horror, suspense, and titles like Blue Beetle, Captain Atom, the Creeper, Hawk and Dove, and Shade, The Changing Man. But this is one of his best pages from his 1980's return to the House Of Ideas. This is Pg. 5 from the issue, and is an absolutely stunning full splash title page ("Space-Race!"), with incredible imagery in outer space, as ROM and Forge (from the X-Men) oversee the construction of a giant Neutralizer to combat the possible world-ending threat posed by the Worldmerge brought about by the magic of the Dire Wraiths! Please note that the page has slightly yellowed, as it looks like it may have been framed and displayed at some point, as there are remnants of what looks like masking tape residue on the backside. There are also a few light bends visible on the back of the page. The bend lines do not really show through on the front, and it does not really affect the appearance of the front of the page, but I thought it should be noted. The page displays beautifully, and really does look outstanding. The "terrible tendrils of mysticism" and stars look to be done with meticulous drops of either whiteout or white paint, and the details on the page really are amazing. As one of the most collected and valuable artists of all-time, Ditko art is always highly sought-after, and classic pages like this are tough to find on the open market, with Spider-man originals already being out of reach for most. I would dare to say that this image is as good or better than most any cover Ditko worked on in the 1970's and 1980's. This is a spectacular page that would look fantastic framed and prominently displayed, and would be an outstanding addition to any collection.Social/Sharing |
