He gained a reputation working on titles for companies would become Marvel and DC - Timely Comics and National Comics.
From 1966 he worked with Marvel editor-in-chief Stan Lee on The Amazing Spider-Man, replacing original artist Steve Ditko , while helping it to become The Company 's top-seller.
His tenure saw the introduction of Spider-Man's love interest Mary Jane Watson and his adversary Punisher, The Assassin ; as well as the Crime Boss Kingpin.
In the early 1970s, Romita became Marvel's art Director - a role he would serve in for More Than two Decades - contributing to the design of characters including Wolverine, who first appeared in an Incredible Hulk publication.

Many of his famous characters have gone on to appear in TV shows and films, both live-action and animated, and his death comes the week after Sony's Spider-Man sequel, Across the Spider-Verse proved to be a Box Office success.
" No matter what success I've had, I've always considered myself a guy who can improve on Somebody Else 's concepts, " He Said in a 2002 interview. " A writer and another artist can create something, and I can make it better. "
The same year, The Artist was inducted into the Eisner Awards Hall of Fame, and later The Inkwell Awards Hall of Fame in 2020.
