Media Type: Pencil
Art Type: Pinup

Artists: John  Romita Sr. all

Check out this very nice Pinup which was drawn entirely by the great John Romita Sr in the very early 1970s! This Pinup features a nice detailed Spider-Man holding onto a wall with nice background shadows. This pinup was drawn on an 8.5 by 11 drawing paper. also included is a rare Marvel Bullpen letter given to the fan with the drawing, as he traded an Amazing Spider-Man #1 comic book for the drawing and Romita also added 5 dollars with the drawing! Here is actual letter (included with drawing) collector also sent with the beautiful drawing which reads: "Greetings, Mike B., from Mike A. Let me say it is nice to write to another Spidey Fan. I've been a Marvel Maniac since elementary school in the 1960's. Back in the very early 70's when I was in need of some gas money for my Mercury Meteor, I wrote to The Bullpen and offered to sell them my Spiderman #1. Their secretary wrote back and told me that yes, indeed, Mr. Romita would buy my comic for $5.00. So I mailed it to them and got a check from Marvel for $5.00 bucks, but Mr. Romita topped it off with a drawing of Spidey clinging to a wall, of course with the captions "Best wishes, Michael" at the top and "Spidey and John Romita" at the bottom. I found the letter from The Bullpen years ago, but I couldn't remember where I put the drawing! Yesterday I emptied out a safety deposit box at a local bank that is closing and there was Spidey, I'm going to look around for the letter and then keep it and the sketch together, this time. I'm in my seventies and moving into liquidation mode, slowly. Rather than maybe stash this somewhere and have it never be seen again, I would be happy to send you a photo of it and hear back if you or someone you know is interested in it. I still have Spiderman #2 through #10 and will be offloading those, too. No worries, and keep the Spidey faith! Mike.......
