DESCRIPTION
John Romita pencils; cover prelim; 1991; image size 9.5" x 13"Rare John Romita Sr. Doctor Strange cover prelim. This published cover was drawn by Chris Marinnan and inked by Mark McKenna in 1991, Romita re-worked Marinnan's original concept to what you see here. Romita and his sensibilities are on full display, from the dramatic energy of Doctor Strange taking on the villainous Silver Dagger, to the looming figures of Dr. Doom, Warlock, and the Silver Surfer in the background, this prelim shows that Jazzy John lost none of his edge over the years. Pencil on vellum over a printed backing board, the entire backing including the signature is printed. Art is in very good condition, there is some wear to the vellum, and a small piece is torn from the lower left not affecting the artwork.
