About this Collection

This collection celebrates the legendary career of John Romita Sr., one of Marvel's most iconic artists. It features his definitive runs on The Amazing Spider-Man, where he succeeded Steve Ditko and co-created the character of Mary Jane Watson, as well as his work on Daredevil, Captain America, and other classic titles. Spanning the 1960s and 1970s, the volume showcases Romita's dynamic storytelling and his pivotal role in shaping the visual identity of Marvel's Silver Age.

In "It!", Peter Parker visits the doctor with a simple cold, only to learn Aunt May’s health is far more precarious than he thought. As Spider-Man battles a group of mysterious thugs who douse him in a strange gas, his spider sense falters—leaving him vulnerable when the Green Goblin captures him, revealing a shocking truth: the villain is none other than Norman Osborn. Written by Stan Lee and illustrated with dynamic precision by John Romita, with inks by Mickey Demeo and John Romita, and lettering by Artie Simek, this standout story from Marvel Visionaries: John Romita Sr. features a cover by John Romita that captures the moment of confrontation in bold, iconic style.
