John Romita’s painted cover to THE SPECTACULAR SPIDER-MAN Magazine #2.
Here’s the cover to AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #110 by John Romita. This was the last issue of the series scripted by Stan Lee.
Here’s a pair of pages from the first and greatest inter-company crossover, SUPERMAN VS THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN, by Ross Andru and Dick Giordano with some uncredited assists from Neal Adams and John Romita.
Here’s Harry Rosenbaum’s cover painting to SPECTACULAR SPIDER-MAN black and white magazine #1, done from a John Romita line drawing. This was released in 1968, the year Marvel momentarily tried to extend the boundaries of what comics could be. Romita told me years later that publisher Martin Goodman pulled the plug on the whole experiment based on no real evidence at all—he just didn’t have any faith in it or want to gamble money on it.
Splash page to AVENGERS #23 by Don Heck and John Romita. Looks like some of the copy was changed around or moved around a little bit.
Splash page to the Hulk story in TALES TO ASTONISH #77, layouts by Jack Kirby, pencils and inks by John Romita.
Splash page to AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #94, a rare example of Sal Buscema inking/finishing John Romita’s work.
Here’s an unused, unfinished partial page 5 by John Romita intended for AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #45. Lots of border notes from John on this one:
