New York, NY— March 31, 2021 — John Romita Jr. is making his return to the House of Ideas! Starting this July, Romita will enter the Marvel Universe once again to draw some of Marvel’s most iconic characters and titles.
After beginning his career at Marvel decades ago, Romita’s art style has continued to be one of the most recognizable and respected in the comics industry. During his time at Marvel, Romita helmed distinctive runs on titles including Amazing Spider-Man, Uncanny X-Men, Iron Man, Daredevil, and many more. Romita will now bring his indelible talent to some of Marvel’s most iconic series starting later this year.
“I have been very fortunate more than a few times in my life, and now I can add this latest event to that list. I have returned to Marvel, the company that I started my career in, and I couldn’t be more thrilled!” said Romita. “I am literally, at this very moment, working on my next big Marvel project, and it’s a blast!!! I am JUST as excited as I was when I first started, and I will do my best to let the work show that again. I hope fans will see that too!”

I’ve no doubt Romita Jr is being lined up to contribute to Amazing Spider-Man again in some way…perhaps Issue 900 if all goes well and we get the restoration of the marriage. He drew the definitive Peter/MJ reconciliation back in the day.
Jrjr still is divisive but unique. I’m glad to see him back at marvel!
A guy like him on venom would be phenomenal.
@Adam seeing how JMS ended I doubt he’d want to work for marvel again sadly
Happy with this. I know a lot of newer fans don’t see his appeal but for me he is one of the great Spider-Man artists.
Give him a book like Non-Stop and let him draw what he wants.
Or better yet, get JMS ‘ artist come in and finally undo OMD. I think JMS will be happy with that.
Nice; really good news!
I just hope he’s given really good stories to work on.
And if he’s back to Spidey… Fingers crossed.
