James Romberger
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Pastel drawings of the ravaged landscape of the Lower East Side of New York and its citizens by James Romberger are in many public and private collections, including the Metropolitan and Brooklyn Museums in New York City. His solo and collaborative exhibitions have appeared at the Grace Borgenicht Gallery, Gracie Mansion, The Proposition, and the New Museum.
Romberger has long contributed work in the comics medium to alternative publications such as World War 3 Illustrated. His sci-fi strip collaboration with his wife, filmmaker Marguerite Van Cook, Ground Zero, was serialized through the 1980s and 1990s in various downtown literary magazines. His efforts for commercial comics publishers include work for Marvel’s Epic Illustrated, Image's NYC Mech, and Paradox Press' Big Book series. DC/Vertigo published Romberger's work on the Renegade storyline in Jamie Delano's 2020 Visions, and the critically acclaimed Seven Miles A Second, Romberger and Van Cook's graphic novel done in collaboration with artist, writer and AIDS activist David Wojnarowicz.
Romberger lives in NYC with Van Cook and their son Crosby Romberger.
