RIP Mr. Romita. You were always one of my favorites. You brought a lot of joy to millions of kids (and grown up kids). I hope everyone takes some time to seek out his work. Condolences to the Romitas.

John Romita, Sr. has always been my all-time favorite Spider-Man artist. I couldn't get enough of Spidey comics when I first started reading them in the late seventies, right around the time that Gwen Stacy died. I was in second grade when I read my first Spider-Man comic. I wish I still had it. I don't remember the issue #, but it involved Peter and J. Jonah Jameson being manacled together by the arms, to a bomb. That issue still brings a smile to my face when I think about it. Now that the Marvel Civil War trailer 2 has been released, I am thrilled to see the intense salute to John Romita, Sr. in Spider-Man's costume.

He tells of seeing the Silver Surfer with Galactus and asking Kirby "who's the guy on the board?" If you wanna see someone taking ALL the credit, check out Bob Kane.

Ah, John Romita. Yes! When I think of Spider-Man, I picture John Romita's artwork. I'm reading through the Masterworks series now and when it transitioned over to Romita from Ditka, I was like, "Oh yes, there it is!" The transition is interesting because it was only after Romita took over that the storylines became more interesting and there was more going on in Parker's life with Gwen, Harry and company. Not as much before that so I definitely see Romita's influence and what he brought with him to the series when he took over.

Sure he wrote a lot of the stories way back in the day, but without the real talents of people like Steve Ditko, John Romita, Gil Kane, Jack Kirby etc., the characters that everyone knows today wouldn't be nowhere near as popular as they are. Great upload though - really enjoyed it!
