RIP to a true legend of the industry, and an unsung hero of Spider-Man.
Man, he was a big influence on my life.
And good lord was he a great visual storyteller.
Sincerely,
Thomas Mets
A legend. John Romita Sr and Steve Ditko are THE Spider-Man artists to me. RIP.
Oh wow, this one hurts real bad. He was such a legend, one of the true greatest up there with amazing names like Ditko, Perez, Miller. Easily my favorite classic Spidey artist.
Been re-reading a lot of older books to remind myself of why I fell in love with this book. He’s been on a mind a lot. Loss of a true legend.
Rest In Power to a legend. He will be missed.
This really hurts to hear. R.I.P.
An absolute comics legend whose contribution to the industry can't be overstated.
RIP John Romita Sr.
R.I.P. to a true legend.

First Stan, then Ditko, and now Romita. Strange that all of Spider-Man's "fathers" are gone. And yes, even though Romita didn't create Spider-Man, there's no question that he had a hand in making the Spider-Man that we know today. He will definitely be missed but forever remembered.

My deepest condolences to the family, his friends, and all his fans.
It's really sad when legends leave us.
RIP.
Not many of the OG’s left now with him gone.
RIP John Romita Sr, you will never be forgotten.
