John Romita Sr Spiderman

I was at the 93 Philly Comic Con. It was late in the day, and I was on my way out. I was trying to get thru an aisle that was jammed with people trying to get to John Romita Jr. He was signing books, and it was a mob scene. As I got thru the crowd, I saw his dad. He was standing off to the side, with a grin on his face, watching the mob scene. Either no one recognized him, or the cult status of his son at the time blinded everyone. I walked up and chatted with him. He was not there as an artist, but as a Marvel exec. He was not interested in doing a commission, but after a few minutes, he said he'd give me a quick bust. It took him no more than 10 minutes to whip this out. A great guy and one of my treasures.

On a backing board.
