John Romita was rightfully reticent to take over the art chores on The Amazing Spider-Man after Steve Ditko left. Romita came through with a slight variation to his art to look like Ditko's but within one year Romita's style came through. Romita later went on to the draw the comic strip as well, and his son John Romita Jr. later drew Spider-man himself.
Condolences to his family, friends, and fans.

Romita kept expecting Ditko to return, thinking why anyone would leave the second best selling title at Marvel.
