Biography:

John Romita, Jr. (born 17 August 1956, USA) is a comic book artist best known for his extensive work for Marvel Comics since the late 1970s. His middle name differs from his father's, so he is not actually "Junior" by birth.

His early popularity began with his run on David Michelinie’s “Iron Man” (1978–1982).

Romita has had multiple runs on “The Amazing Spider-Man” — 1980–1987, 1996–1998, 2000–2004, and 2008–2009. He has drawn related titles as well, such as “Peter Parker: Spider-Man” (1999–2000).

His 1980s work included “Contest of Champions” (1982), the first limited series published by Marvel, “Uncanny X-Men” (1983–1986), and “Daredevil” (1988–1990).

In the 1990s, he drew “Iron Man” again for a year (1990), the first year of “The Punisher: War Zone” (1992), and the first two dozen issues of a new “Thor” series (1998–2000).

He drew “Wolverine” (2004–2005) and “Black Panther” (2005). He drew “Avengers” (2010–2011) and then the “Avengers v. X-Men” mini-series (2012), and the first year of a new “Captain America” series (2013).

Recently, he has been drawing stories at DC Comics — “Superman” (2014–2015), “All Star Batman” (2016–2017), and “Suicide Squad” (2017).
