John Romita Sr
John Romita Sr. - Original Unpublished Art for The Amazing Spider-Man Annual #5, Complete 3-Page story, "Here We Go-A-Plotting!" (Marvel, 1968). A unique and historically valuable piece, offered here are the original concept pages for what would become a four-page back-up feature in Amazing Spider-Man Annual #5. As published, the humorous look at a "typical" Spidey plotting session was penciled by "Mirthful" Marie Severin, but here we see the original layouts penciled by John Romita Sr., with what we detect as some assistance by Larry Lieber. An interesting alternate take on this tale, Romita includes an appearance by Flo Steinberg, missing in the published version. Also, the depiction of Stan Lee is quite different, as is that of Roy Thomas. Aunt May, J. Jonah Jameson, Dr. Octopus, and Mary Jane Watson all appear. The three 11.5" x 17.5" pages are in excellent condition, and each has been signed by Romita. Important notice: Heritage usually auctions material at the rate of 200-250 lots per hour. On some occasions eBay Live bid software or the Internet may not be able to keep up with the pace of the auction. We recommend placing a realistic absentee bid now as insurance to avoid disappointment. Occasionally the auctioneer may eliminate or reject an eBay Live bid, and the auctioneer may also reopen a lot after the close of the eBay live bidding (usually because we missed an audience bid), and may reject your bid even if it shows you as the winning bidder. By bidding via eBay Live, you agree that Heritage may award the lot to another bidder at its sole discretion under the circumstances described above or any other reasonable circumstances. Also please note that all Heritage lots purchased through eBay Live carry a 20% Buyer's Premium. Please make sure you read the Terms and Conditions before you bid.
