An incredibly fun-and necessary!-deep dive into one of American comics' most important, influential, and underappreciated artistic dynasties"

--Fred Van Lente, six-time New York Times bestselling author, The Comic Book History of Comics


FATHER AND SON ISSUES: The Secret History of Spider-Man is the true story of someone with a great power, and a great responsibility. That man, artist John Romita, was the best comics artist no one had ever heard of. After Spider-Man's creators had a falling out, Jazzy John (as Stan Lee called him) had to become the new tale-spinner for the web-spinner.


John's take on Spider-Man made Spidey the biggest star at Marvel, and Marvel the biggest name in comics. Comics was a tough business, so the last thing he wanted was for John Romita Jr. to follow in his footsteps.


But like father, like son.
