"All right, Goblin! You're gonna get your wish! You'll battle Spider-Man, all right! And this time, there'll be no doubt as to who's the winner! This is the payoff, you grinning gargoyle! This is for real!” -- Spider-Man, from Amazing Spider-Man #40 _________________________

FACE FRONT, TRUE BELIEVER, FOR THE HISTORIC STORIES THAT STARTED IT ALL!
For more than four decades, the name of artist John Romita has been synonymous with the Marvel style
od drawing comics- a trademark look featuring attractively illustrated figures in action-packed panels. In
1966, Romita began his historic turn on Amazing Spider-Man- a run that included the debuts of the Kingpin and
Mary Jane Watson, and the final fate of the Green Goblin. Romita was also a driving force in the creation
of dozens of famed Marvel characters, including Wolverine and the Punisher.
With Marvel reaching unprecedented new heights of popularity in comic books, on television and in major motion
pictures, this volume provides fans with an in-depth look at one of the company's quintessential artists. Highlights
of this Romita retrospective include the following issues, some never before reprinted!
