Perhaps, but Spider-Man surged in popularity after Ditko left the book, and Romita Sr is the key reason why. Peter’s attitude softened and characters were drawn as more attractive (Romita’s background was in romance comics and he brought that sensibility).
@Ghost of Ben Reilly
it’s understandable that he would feel that way. Spider-Man at that time was incredibly popular, and a lot of that was due to Ditko’s art. I would think any artist, no matter how talented, would start on that book after Ditko with a lot of trepidation. I’m not familiar with pre-Spider-Man Romita Sr. work, but it feels like when he took over it was John Romita Sr. and not JOHN ROMITA SR.
“I always felt like a visitor on Spider-Man.” Startling, because to me JR, Sr. is THE transcendent artist against whom all others pale by comparison — even Ditko himself.
