My Take
John Romita Jr. is one of those artists whose pencil I'd recognise anywhere. Working for Marvel from the 1970s clear into the 2020s, he carved out a bold, blocky, muscular style entirely his own, no small feat given he carries the name of his celebrated father. His Spider-Man and Daredevil carry a weight and kinetic punch that few peers match. The 1994 Inkpot Award barely scratches the surface of a half-century at the top of a notoriously grinding craft. I admire that kind of longevity enormously; staying relevant across decades of comics takes a discipline most artists never sustain.
