Spiderman
About the artist
John Romita Sr.
John Romita Sr. was a defining artist of Marvel Comics’ Silver Age. Taking over The Amazing Spider-Man from Steve Ditko in 1966, he introduced a more glamorous, romance-comic-inflected visual language that helped make the character a mainstream cultural icon — including the co-creation of Mary Jane Watson and the Kingpin. As Marvel’s art director from 1973, he shaped the house style for decades. His son John Romita Jr. later built a parallel career as one of the defining artists of the modern Marvel era.
About this series
Spider-Man
Spider-Man, co-created in 1962 by writer Stan Lee and artist Steve Ditko, is one of the defining characters of the Marvel Age. Foundational runs include Ditko's original tenure, John Romita Sr.'s Silver Age pages, Todd McFarlane's high-commercial 1990s relaunch and Mark Bagley's Ultimate Spider-Man with Brian Michael Bendis — a lineage that has made Spider-Man one of the most continuously drawn characters in American comics.
