I say this with a heavy heart, My father passed away peacefully in his sleep. He is a legend in the art world and it would be my honor to follow in his footsteps. Please keep your thoughts and condolences here out of respect for my family. He was the greatest man I ever met.
@JrRomita The impact he & artists like Ditko & Kirby had cannot be understated. He contributed to a foundation that the past & future of comics & manga are built on. I'm going to skim through the Best Of JRSR hardcover on my desk in memorium.
@JrRomita To call your father a "legend" is the understatement of the century. But his legacy lives on through you. I'm sorry for your entire family 🙏🏻
I’m sorry to hear this. An All Time Great. That he was able to take Ditko’s brilliant Spider-Man design to the next level, and set the standard for all artists who followed is no small feat. His versions of Marvel’s superheroes were definitive ones, and Nobody drew woman more beautifully than him. He will be greatly missed. My thoughts are with you.
@JrRomita Condolences to you and your family. Your family’s work has brought me a lot of joy over the years but his legacy will live on for a very, very long time.
@JrRomita :( He'll live forever in the worlds he created. Thanks for so many amazing stories. He brought a lot of happiness to the world.
@JrRomita Deep condolences. Your father was one of the persons who shaped me as a person and bring peace in my childhood. His artwork is amazing to this day. Rest in peace 😔
@JrRomita So sorry for your loss. Your dad was a great man. Very grateful for his inspiration which still lives on.
@JrRomita You said it! ‘A Legend’ our condolences to you and the family John.
@JrRomita I hope “Jazzy John” is hanging with King Kirby and Stan The Man in the bullpen in the sky. #RIPJohnRomitaSr
