RIP John Romita Sr, THE Spider-Man Artist

Hey, with all of the Spider-Man discussion flying around lately, I absolutely need to stop and call attention to the fact that John Romita Sr just passed. I can't stress enough that this man was a LEGEND. He was THE Spider-Man artist. He was the most prolific Spider-Man artist ever, he drew all of his iconic looks and character designs, and he just made the character. His art is beautiful. I've spent the last few days rereading the 1970s newspaper comics made by Stan Lee and John Romita Sr and talking for ages about how gorgeous the art is, and hearing that he died just now felt incredibly strange.

He did the most iconic Spidey covers and moments:

RIP John Romita Sr, THE Spider-Man Artist

But also some really gorgeous other art:

If you have some favorite pieces of art by him, go ahead and add it to the post! Man, this guy was my childhood and probably permanently shaped an area of my brain. We're losing a lot of comic artist legends lately. RIP John Romita.

Nobody gives two shits about an ENTIRE COUNTRY being hit by two cyclones consecutively. It’s displaced over 160,000 people and destroyed over 30,000 homes.

Yet no one cries.

No billionaires or other countries have talked about donating or helping the country out.

Please help by donating to charities and fundraisers dedicated to helping provide humanitarian aid to Mozambique!
