I don't know how to post images however I can add that his work got me through a dark time living in N.Ireland. Enjoy your birthday Mr Romita and I wish you many more.

Happy Birthday, John Romita ! (I still have trouble calling him John Romita Sr., since he was just John Romita for so many years before his son started drawing pro.)

The lower middle panel of the Cap page looks like a typical Spider-man pose.

This thread is making me so jealous! I've got a space on my wall all reserved for a Romita piece of published art... and I've not been able to find anyone willing to part with one! At least not for anything approaching a reasonable price.

 

But I'll keep looking & waiting!!!

 

In the meantime, keep sharing!!!!

Face it, Tiger: Happy (belated) Birthday! Wishing you many more jackpots!

 

What an amazing career. All of his definitive Spider-Man work, all the great covers and iconic images across the entire Marvel line. Working-out the designs for Wolverine, the Punisher, Mary Jane, Luke Cage, Tigra, Bullseye and the Kingpin. And not to be forgotten, all the artwork he did for licensing and merchandising that formed a gateway to bring in new readers.

 

Edit: Yeah, I have fmaz's problem too. We'll keep looking!
