Artists Information
John Romita was one of the driving forces behind Marvel's Silver Age, first taking up the reins on Amazing Spider-Man following the departure of Steve Ditko with issue #38. Romita's long run on Spider-Man would include the introduction of classic characters such as Mary Jane Watson, the Kingpin and many others. He would be a major contributor to the entire Marvel line throughout the 1970s — including designing the look of The Punisher. Romita's influence has since been felt for decades, including the emergence of John Romita, Jr. as one of the industry's top illustrators.
Keith Pollard is probably best known for drawing all of the character profiles in the Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe. He also had a long career working on such Marvel titles as The Amazing Spider-Man, Fantastic Four, Thor, Master of Kung Fu, and Deadly Hands of Kung Fu.
