With his unmatched skill in dynamic layouts and composition, Romita, working alongside Stan Lee on some of Spider-Man's most enduring storylines and with contributions from a supporting cast of legendary Marvel Bullpen contributor-including Gil Kane, John Buscema, Jim Mooney, and Mike Esposito-would help lead Spider-Man to even greater heights in pop culture.
