John Romita and John Romita Jr. are two of the most influential artists in the history of comic books- as well as being father and son. In the late 1960's- John Romita was brought on by Stan Lee to replace original Amazing Spider-Man artist- Steve Ditko- who had left the series. With Lee at the writing helm- Romita continued working on The Amazing Spider-Man- beginning a collaboration that would come to define the look and essence of Spider-Man. A decade later- John Romita Jr. would start his climb towards the top of the business. For most sons- following in the footsteps of a famous father would be quite a challenge- but Romita Jr. thrived and became an equally powerful force as a comic book artist! Written by Tom Spurgeon- one of North America's best-known experts on the comic strip and comic book art forms- The Romita Legacy is the definitive book on the father and son artists- lavishly illustrated with classic and unseen art and with biographies and in-depth interviews. With an introduction by Alex Ross- this book is perfect for every comic book fan young and old!
