Goodbye John Romita Sr, Spider-Man artist extraordinaire FMTNews
Only last week I watched the animated movie Across The Spider-Verse. The last time I watched an animated movie, or cartoon movie to some, was the first part of the trilogy Into the Spider-Verse in 2018.
John Romita Sr was, to me, one of the greatest comic book artists ever. He was second only to Steve Ditko, the other co-creator of Spider-Man, in making the web-slinging, joke-cracking yet painfully human character come alive. He deviated from Ditko’s rendition of Peter Parker as a somewhat wiry, frail teenager into someone with more flesh and muscle, and a rather rounded face.
Zendaya, who played MJ in recent Spider-Man movies, was better than Dunst but still that sparkle that Romita brought to MJ was missing. It was the same with renditions of MJ by other comic book artists. In 1972, Stan Lee made him unofficially Marvel’s art director and as art director, he had a hand in designing a number of Marvel characters, including Wolverine and Punisher, over several decades. He drew most of the major Marvel characters at one time or another, if not on the inside artwork, at least on the cover.
