Choose one!

No contest. Jazzy Johnny all the way.

The Jazz man testifies!

Senior. If there is no Sr., then there is no Jr.

I voted for Jr. (and am the only one man enough to admit it ). As much as I love Sr., and as phenomenal an artist as he is, I think he was, stylistically, somewhat generic. He executed that style brilliantly, but Jr. has developed his only unique look, while having all of his father's strengths.

I'm going to have to think about this one.

Junior, but man, it's really close.

Tough question.

Romita Sr. defined the way Spider-Man looked. His way became the model from the time he came on board through Todd McFarlane. That's a huge impact.

Jr's has been less.

But which do I prefer?

.....

Senior, slightly. His women were gorgeous. Jr's work is a little odder

But it's great.

They're both great, but I love where Jr. has gone with his art. Not only is he one of the best storytellers in the biz (as was his old man), he has deveoped a quirky, unusual style that I find very appealing.

That said, Sr. defined the Spiderverse even more so than Ditko, in my opinion.

Which do I prefer? JRjr.

Who is the more important artist? Sr. by far, no contest.

I voted Junior.

I think Jr. is a spectacular artist who has really grown in his craft, is a great storyteller, and is technically superior to his father.

Having said that, I've not cared for his artwork since his mid-'80s X-Men run. It just doesn't appeal to my personal sense of aesthetics.

And I've actually sat down in John Romita's office and interviewed him, so he's my choice.

I'd love to read your interview Uncle Twitchy!

Ask and ye shall receive:

Interview with John Romita Sr. circa March 1988 or thereabouts.

Holy crap this is a tough choice.

John Vincent vs. John Salvatore (they're not actually Sr/Jr.).....hmm.....

I'm gonna go with the younger one.

Dad. AINEC.

I really enjoyed it! Thanks!

Jr., just 'cause he's drawn more comics that have a special place in my heart.

Both are great.
Sr. because Jr. is still a FNG* to me.
Heck, Neal adams is still a new guy to me.

* FNG is a Public Safety Industry term.
It means "Friendly (or F adjective of your choice) New Guy.

Well, not all.

Junior can't even come close to Dad in the inking and linework department. I also think Senior's got a better handle on anatomy.

Why has John Romita Jr. turned into a woman on a horse?

Breaks my heart to do it, but I picked Jr.

That's a good question.
