John Romita Sr. Joins Stan Lee at Baltimore Comic-Con

I'm going to wager that if you could pick two comic professionals to spend an evening in a bar with, Stan Lee and John Romita Sr. would likely be two names near the top of the list. Sadly, the option is limited to close friends and family of the duo. You can, however, spend time with them at a panel at Baltimore Comic-Con if you should choose to do so. Say, Saturday, September 8 at 4:30 PM?

Not only will the duo be at the panel, but Stan Stan Lee Collectibles will have a limited edition poster for sale at the show. A small number of these limited edition posters have been reserved for VIP and VIP GOLD ticket holders to ensure they are able to purchase one. Limited quantities are available for purchase by attendees. The posters may be purchased at booth 1507-1508 on the showroom floor.

Stan Lee will be doing signings throughout the weekend. Full press release below.

Best known for his work at Marvel Comics on theAmazing Spider-Man, John began working for the company at Atlas Comics in the 1950s on war, romance, horror, and other genres.  He freelanced at DC Comics in the mid-1950s on romance titles and cover art, eventually leaving to work as a commercial artist before being lured back to Marvel full time where he spent time working on Daredevil, Fantastic Four, and eventually his long run on Amazing Spider-Man, defining for many the look of the Spider-Man characters.

In addition, Stan Lee Collectibles is pleased to announce that they will have a limited edition poster for sale at the show.  A small number of these limited edition posters have been reserved for VIP and VIP GOLD ticket holders to ensure they are able to purchase one.  Limited quantities are available for purchase by attendees.  The posters may be purchased at booth 1507-1508 on the showroom floor.
