Romano Molenaar is a Dutch comic artist, best known as the second artist of the popular sci-fi series 'Storm'. He has also worked extensively for US comic books and gaming projects. Born in The Hague, Molenaar has drawn covers and interior art for US comic books since the mid-1990s, starting with the Liar Comics miniseries 'More than Mortal' and 'Witchfinder'. He then joined Chaos Comics, where his credits include 'Lady Death' and 'The Tenth'. He also worked for Top Cow, doing fill-ins on 'Witchblade' and 'The Darkness', as well as the miniseries 'Cursed'.

For Marvelcomics, he was asked to work on an X-Men Unlimited issue #44 called: 'Can they suffer?' The best part came a year later when X-Men Unlimited #44 became the first comic book to win a Genesis Award in the program’s then 18-year history. The Genesis Awards are held annually by The Humane Society of the United States to honor media outlets that bring public attention to animal protection issues. It sold over 75,000 copies.

Molenaar was asked by publisher Rob van Bavel to take over the popular Dutch comic series 'Storm', following the death of the original artist Don Lawrence in 2003. Molenaar gave up his day job at the reproduction department of a technical office and has been creating artwork for new stories in cooperation with colorist Jorg Vos since 2006. The stories, written by Martin Lodewijk and later by De Vos, are first published in Eppo magazine and then in albums by Van Bavel's Don Lawrence Collection. In 2013, Molenaar also started a spin-off series starring the female character 'Roodhaar', for which the scripts are provided by none other than 'Conan the Barbarian' writer Roy Thomas.

Romano Molenaar has also worked in game design since the 1990s and shares his own Artking Studio with Niel Vredeveldt. He has done stage designs for the rock band Within Temptation and also drew a comic book series based on the band's 2011 albums, 'The Unforgiving'. The artist, a resident of Pijnacker, the Netherlands, was asked by DC Comics to draw Batman Detective Comics #1 and later the Batman spin-off 'Birds of Prey' in June 2012. In 2014, his talents were also recognized by Standaard in Belgium, who hired him to draw 'J. Rom - Force of Gold', the second more adult spin-off of their 'Suske en Wiske' franchise.

Seller's Story

Paper Hills grew out of a hobby, a passion that got out of hand, maybe even a minor obsession. Since the beginning of 2021 we have decided to really go for it. Paper Hills, officially got off the ground. Hi, my name is Alexander Custers, owner of Paper Hills. A company specialized in the purchase and sale of antique stationery. Alexander comes from a family of collectors, the extensive and unique stamp collection of his grandfather and father certainly contributed to this. A new interest in this beautiful profession was aroused when he saw old maps of his own village, Sint Geertruid, and beautiful Limburg. The hobby grew into a passion until it turned out that, together with him, many others were interested in collecting and reviewing maps showing old images. The old images on these cards often bring back beautiful memories in people.
