DescriptionFinally got around to taking a picture of this! My beloved grandmother, now 99 years young and doing well, purchased this comic book for me back in the late 1960s at a convenience store outside of Pittsburgh, PA - and so began my passion for this cover. It sat hidden in a small collection in Chicago for 25 years until I was able to acquire it.Social/Sharing |

A Romita cover is always museum-worthy--but the personal story behind this is what makes it truly special. Huge congrats!

The best descriptions are ones that tell the story of art making it into a collection that greatly appreciates it, especially from a nostalgic perspective. Glad this has found its "forever" home. Congratulations!
