Comes directly from his son. Seems he passed away peacefully.
RIP

We need his Son to be able to live up to his legacy.
For all Spider-Fans everywhere.
Like all other iconic Marvel artists out there, he'll be missed.
He truly defined the look of everything to do with my favorite Superhero, Spider-Man.
And he'll be forever respected, and treasured for it.
Exactly as Stan Lee and Steve Ditko have.
I'll truly miss him on this dear earth just as I did when Stan Lee passed.
Now Marvel Comics Editorial, TREAT PETER RIGHT FOR ONCE.
John Romita Sr.'s son doesn't deserve to be saddled with arting for the writer of one of the worst ASM Runs rn.
The Romita legacy with Marvel's Posterboy deserves to go on in a respectful manner. Not like this where it involves keeping Peter and MJ Apart.

As everyone mentioned one of the most important artist in comics history, just an incredible run.
He truly did wonders to define everything about what is considered to many their favorite hero in comics.
His son doesn't need to live up to his legacy because Romita Jr has his own legacy. JRJR is less round than JRSR, but when the man hits, he hits almost as hard.
When I think of Spider-Man, I think of Jr, not Sr, and largely because of these two pieces:
Not much more to say. He was a tremendous talent, whose work became the defining style for one of the most iconic characters of the 20th century. Thank you for your service, Sr.
Absolute legend.

I mean, John Romita Jr. also rules? Especially on stuff like Eternals:
John Romita, Sr. was also Marvel's Art Director throughout the 1970s and 1980s. He helped design a lot of major characters outside of Spider-Man's world like The Punisher (who made his debut in an issue of Amazing Spider-Man), Wolverine, Luke Cage, Bullseye, Tigra, and Brother Voodoo (later Doctor Voodoo).
An absolute legend.
R.I.P.
I don't really think this is the appropriate thread for that stuff.

Legend almost doesn't feel like enough to describe how important he was to American comics. Co created many iconic characters, and had a style that defined decades of books.
His Spidey is still the template others chase.
RIP

Same. The man was a true legend and his influence spread out across the whole of Marvel and comics in general. It can't be said enough, a true legend.
The death of John Romita is NOT the time for you to go on about your hurt feelings about the current Spider-Man book. Gross.
