- Today we're turning our spotlight to the legendary comic creator John Romita Jr.
John's dynamic artwork was a staple of Marvel comics for decades, illustrating some of their most beloved heroes such as Spider-Man, Daredevil, X-Men, and Iron Man. In 2008 he co-created the series Kick-Ass, an unconventional take on the superhero genre that really showcased his versatility as an artist and later was adapted into a successful film franchise.
Romita Jr.’s influence is all over modern comics - bold lines, kinetic energy, and unmistakable style, he’s a real storyteller weaving tales that leap off the page and into the hearts of readers worldwide.
So settle in as we explore the life, work, and creative process of the one and only John Romita Jr.
Get ready to be inspired, entertained, and maybe even a little bit awestruck.

JR JR 's Iron Man stuff with Layton was My Favorite Era of his Art Style .
Wayyyyyyyyyy back in the 90's I went to Comic Con for 4 straight years and met JRJr. I was right out of HS, no formal training and I wanted to draw comics. JR Jr, went out of way to give my scripts and advice. He remembered me the next year and did the same. By the third year he knew me by sight. College and life got in the way, but he hooked me up with the X-men and Spiderman-editors and offered a foot in the door. I'm a graphic designer and photographer as well as an instructor now. If you haven't tried to break into comics, then you have no idea how much time, practice and effort these guys have to do just to get in the door, much less be a success. The time it took was simply to much for me, but I'll always be grateful for guys like JRJr. I'll also give a shout out to Neal Adams & George Perez for doing the same.
John Romita Sr, was gifted,
Jr, didn't inherit the gift.
Didn't expect to see Scott as host. That makes this a must watch.
THANK YOU! Great interview with one of my all time favorite artists. Im excited to listen to more!
What a humble guy...John, you helped shape my childhood imagination. How you can be so laid back is one of the most impressive things. I have met artists with half your talent and 3 times the ego. Thanks for the awesome interview.
Great stories, inspirational guy, fantastic artist!
That Daredevil run is the BEST. Really cool stuff. Artist's Edition pelase!
