Description

FACE IT TIGER....... This right here is the HISTORIC VERY FIRST drawing of the stunning "MARY JANE WATSON!" John Romita used this fully finished drawing as his guide to later draw MJ's very first Comic Book appearance on the last page to Amazing Spider-Man #42! Most first drawings of Marvel characters By John Romita (Like Wolverine, & The Punisher) were quick loose pencil drawings...... This piece right here is unique in that it was drawn fully finished by the great John Romita in 1966, as well as it being hand colored by John Romita also! A true "JACKPOT" piece right here! :)
