John Romita Sr. pencils and inks; cover; 1973; image size 10" x 15"
1st appearance of Nightshade!Beautiful cover, with John Romita Sr. handling both pencil and ink duties, featuring the very first appearance of Nightshade, Queen of the Werewolves, which is a good thing because it looks like Falcon may have run into some werewolf trouble. Expertly illustrated by Romita, who is always at his best when inking his own work, and using a wonderful compositional technique to split the image highlighting Captain America and Nightshade while isolating Falcon. Pen and ink. Art is in excellent condition. Signed by Romita.

Artist Information
John Romita was one of the driving forces behind Marvel's Silver Age, he took up the reins on Spider-Man following the departure of Steve Ditko with issue #38. Romita's run on Spider-Man would be long and significant, introducing characters including Mary Jane Watson, the Kingpin and many others. He would be a major contributor to the entire Marvel line throughout the 1970s including designing the look of The Punisher.
