Even if they have never seen a comic book, anyone who saw the visual imagery in the Spider-Man feature films has seen the work of John Romita, Sr. (credited simply as John Romita for a good portion of his career).

Imagery based on his strong, distinctive, character-rich comic book work permeated just about every important scene in those movies. He worked in the industry for years before he took over the art duties on Amazing Spider-Man from Steve Ditko, but his dynamic style and fluid linework put his stamp on Spidey almost immediately, forever associating him with the character. His influence on successive generations of Marvel Comics artists was foreseen by Stan Lee, who hired him as Art Director for the company.
