What makes the piece special is where it now sits. George Lucas spent more than 50 years collecting narrative art because he believed comic artists and illustrators deserved the same respect traditionally given to fine art. The museum’s collection now brings creators like John Romita Sr. into galleries alongside paintings, photography and cinema history. Romita became legendary for helping define Spider Man’s classic look, but seeing his 1974 Ghost Rider work preserved in a major museum shows how the comic pages once treated as disposable entertainment have become genuine pieces of American art history.
