    Funny how he's known for his renditions of MJ and Gwen. You never hear another superhero artist who has popular renditions of non-hero characters. You never hear a person who has a killer version of Snapper Carr or Karen Page.

I was surprised to hear, however, it was his idea to kill off Gwen Stacy. I feel that was a colossal mistake and they knew it in a failed attempt to bring her back as a clone. Fans were furious! I actually loved the 5-part clone saga! Lol. To this day her death made no sense to me but hey, sometimes you have to accept their decision whether you like it or not

    I had the pleasure of meeting my idol in 2002 at WonderCon where I promptly rolled up my sleeve and showed him a Romita-inspired Spidey/Peter duel-head tat design I had done as the faces of comedy and tragedy. He looked at it, shook his head and without missing a beat told me I was crazy. It was a priceless moment. They say never meet your gods, but I was pleased that mine turned out to be like one of my cool, with-it uncles. .... the cool, with-it uncle that bust my chops; ribbing me mercifulously. It was good-natured and he was great, warm, engaging. I met his son a year later at the next WonderCon by accident at the bar so showed him my homage to his dad. He thought it was sick. When I told Romita Jr his father said I was crazy, John shot back, 'Join the party. He tells me that all the time!'
    Hilarious and each salt of the Earth. Thank both Johns. For humoring the crazies....wink.

Lee, Ditko, Kirby, the Romitas, and guys who people don't think of like Gerry Conway from this video were like the Beatles of the comic book world. When these guys were there it was the golden age of comics never to return - Those guys had something special during those years that you just can't bottle up. Todd McFarlane did some great stuff too.

    The Next Era of MCU Spiderman should be styled in Romita Sr style. Since the first trilogy was largely based on Ditko/Kirby art. Then his final trilogy should be 90s Romita Jr. style which in my opinion is the best Spiderman design.
