	John Romita, Sr. - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		John Romita graduated from the School of Industrial Art in 1947.
		Romita was working at New York City company called Forbes Lithograph in 1949, earing $30 a week, when a friend from art school whom he ran into on a subway train offered him $20 a page to pencil a 10-page story for him as uncredited ghost artist.
		Romita's first known credited comic-book art is as penciler and inker on the six-page story "The Bradshaw Boys" in Western Outlaws #1 (Feb. 1951) for Marvel's 1950s predecessor, Atlas Comics.

	John Romita, Jr. - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		John Romita is the son of John Romita, Sr.
		Romita later collaborated with Frank Miller on a Daredevil origin story entitled Man Without Fear, considered to be a companion of sorts to Miller's Batman: Year One tale.
		Romita worked on a host of Marvel titles during the 1990s, including The Punisher War Zone, the Cable mini-series, The Mighty Thor, a return to Iron Man for the second Armor War written by John Byrne, and the Punisher/Batman cross-over.

	Talent Pool 16 - John Romita, Sr. (Oct 1999)
		Romita knew all of this, but proceeded anyway with the notion that, for the sake of the fans and the title, he should attempt to portray his subject in as Ditko-like a manner as possible.
		Romita, fortunately, abandoned this misconception early, and rapidly proceeded to redefine the character visually, and, in the process, become one of the true masters of comics cover art.
		Romita's look for the characters he inherited from Ditko would predominate in the various Spider-Man titles (at least three by 1975) and continue until the 1980s, when Marvel attempted to have Todd McFarlane redefine the look of a number of their properties.

		Romita’s touch was also felt in numerous other titles for Marvel and DC, from DAREDEVIL and THE FANTASTIC FOUR to oft-forgotten DC love stories that showcased Romita’s trademark female characters and their heart-wrenching lives of unrequited affection and relationships gone awry.
		Romita’s first brush with the webbed one came in the pages of DAREDEVIL #16-17, after Romita was told by Lee that he was to replace Ditko as the Spider-artist.
		Romita does admit that the secondary characters were enjoyable to draw, as he made them his own by modifying their design following Ditko’s departure.

	'Nuff Said! the sound of comics on WBAI-FM - Secret John Romita Art
		John didn't mind if the artists used down time to work on their own projects as long as they put those projects aside when Marvel work came in.
		John looked over Vince's shoulder and said, "I know what you're trying to do" and took the pencil out of Vince's hand and showed him how to draw the shot by correcting it for him.
		Vince was always drawing, always practicing, always learning and found he could learn from any of the Raiders, but having John Romita looking over his shoulder every once in a while was something he always treasured.

		Romita Jr., or J.R., as he is universally known, currently draws Marvel's classic Spidey title, the Amazing Spider-Man, as well as the Incredible Hulk.
		In fact, Romita Sr's nickname, Jazzy John -- "Stan Lee used to give us nicknames instead of a raise," he says -- was ironic; he was conventional, at least by Marvel standards.
		Romita Jr.'s strength, on the other hand, is storytelling, which he says was first instilled by watching films with his father, including classics like "Inherit the Wind," "Twelve Angry Men" and "On the Waterfront." A recent issue of Amazing Spider-Man even had no text whatever, just Romita Jr.'s dark, almost cinematic artwork.

		Romita wasn’t about to pretend — he did need reference for more than a few, but still, after all these years, some characters flow from his pencil with barely a thought.
		Another character that Romita will admit to drawing, although the costume wasn’t too complicated, was Firestar, which he originally designed for the NBC animated series, Spider-Man and his Amazing Friends.
		Sharp-eyed Romita aficionados will recognize a familiar face in the upper left hand corner of the image, although fans of just Romita’s Marvel Universe work won’t have a clue as to who the smiling character is.

		Initially, Stan Lee had John pencil a few issues of Daredevil (including a two-parter featuring a guest appearance by Spidey).
		With his very first Spidey cover (# 39), Romita created an all-time classic, and with # 50 he would produce one of the most famous covers of the Silver Age.

		Romita had been looking forward to working with Gaiman and collaborating with the writer on “Eternals” proved to be as enjoyable as he hoped it would be.
		For Romita, the most difficult aspect of working on Eternals was probably the intensity of the assignment.
		So having worked on John Romita Sr.’s characters after him and having John Buscema’s characters in my mind from working on ‘Conan’ briefly and 'The Punisher,' it’s the same thing with Kirby.
