Product Description:
In this new book, "Jazzy" John Romita - the artist who made The Amazing Spider-Man Marvel's #1-selling comic book in the 1960s - talks about his life, his art and his contemporaries! Authored by former Marvel Comics editor in chief and top writer Roy Thomas and noted historian Jim Amash, it features the most definitive interview Romita's ever given, about working with such comics legends as Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, following Spider-Man co-creator Steve Ditko as artist on the strip, and more! Plus, Roy Thomas shares memories of working with Romita in the 1960s-70s, and Jim Amash examines the awesome artistry of Ring-a-Ding Romita! Lavishly illustrated with Romita's art - original art and unseen masterpieces - as well as illos by some of Marvel's and DC's finest, this is at once a career overview of a comics master, and a firsthand history of the industry by one of its leading artists!

This book was a recommendation to me as not only an interesting history of the comic industry and one of the better artists, but also as a well written book using the technique of the interview to let the subject of the book describe his life.
Lavishly illustrated, great antecdotal tales. Both Mr. Amash and Mr. Thomas had known Mr. Romita for many years, according to the book and they treated their subject with care and respect.
I was amazed by how much one person in that industry ... Read More
