Superhero Anydays
This past weekend, comic book artist John Romita Sr passed away. I was rather ambivalent about his work, although I understand an appreciate his contributions to Marvel Comics in the 60s and 70s. His work was fine, nothing wrong with it, but to me, it didn't pop like a Byrne or Perez. But he still did a LOT to help build Marvel into what it eventually became. He also had a son, John Romita Jr, who was a Marvel artist, and I think it still is.
John Romita SR was 93 years old.
In 1975, Marvel Comics published this book on the origins of Marvel. John Romita Sr did the cover work: Silver Surfer, Marvel Girl, Daredevil, Iron Man, Scarlet Witch, Nick Fury and The Watcher.
