This original art sketch of Spider-man features the work Vinny Romita (grandson of John Romita, Sr., and son of John Romita, Jr.). This was over 15 years ago but, as I recall, it was drawn when he was approximately six years of age when he attended a convention with his grandfather (it is possible it was also with his father, John Romita, Jr., or maybe just his father and not his grandfather, but as best I can remember it was with John Romita, Sr.). It was 2006 (the piece is so dated) and I'm pretty sure it was was Wizard World Philly. A small group of us waiting in line saw that he was doodling while seated at the table with his grandfather. Someone suggested he should offer his sketches for sale and the young boy seemed keen on the idea. John Sr. encouraged his entrepreneurial spirit so a few of us in the line didn't hesitate to get an authentic Romita Spider-man sketch.
The sketch measures approximately 11 by 14 inches, is in excellent and undisplayed condition and will be shipped with the utmost care. Please note- this is an actual, original piece of art illustrated by hand by Vinny Romita. It is not a copy, print or pre-printed image. It is a one-of-a- kind original!
