DescriptionThis sketch was made at the "Strip3daagse" convention held on Saturday and Sunday October 28 & 29, 1989 in "Congresgebouw Den Haag" in The Hague. Mr. Romita was invited to attend by Juniorpress, the publisher of Marvel comics in The Netherlands at that time. He was there on both days and stayed for several hours at the Juniorpress booth. In the morning they handed out numbers and if your number was up you could make your request. The sketches were free, courtesy of Juniorpress and Marvel.Mr. Romita would first sketch the character in pencil and then ink it with a felt tip pen. The whole drawing would take him between 15-20 minutes. I saw him do many sketches for all different characters, lots of Spidermen but also Dr. Doom, Dr. Strange, Hulk, Iron Fist, DareDevil, Kingpin etc. I even saw him draw Spider-smurf which was an fun offbeat request. For Silver Surfer he took out a chrome cilinder and put it next to the character. This would help him determine where the shading should be. A trick he learnt from John Buscema he said. Mr Romita was such a kind man, dropping lots of knowledge, telling stories and answering many questions. He was absolutely lovely and patient interacting with his admiring public. Thank you mr. Romita, you're one of the greats! For a high resolution image of this piece visit SNickLeFritz at 2dgalleries. Social/Sharing |

Wow! Great sketch and a great story! Glad you got that experience. I love the monster sized old school skull.
