RIP John Romita, who passed away this week at the age of 93. Romita Sr. was a pillar of the Marvel Universe as an artist and art director whose talent defined decades of Marvel’s most well-known storytelling. His work spans hundreds of unforgettable comics that brought to life iconic characters like Wolverine, Black Widow, the Punisher, Kingpin, Luke Cage, Spider-Man and Mary Jane.

An eight-minute two-strip Technicolor sequence in “Hell’s Angels” (1930) remains the only surviving color footage of its star, Jean Harlow.
