This one I didn’t know. I’ve seen 115 listed as important but then discovered he did covers for 113 and 114 too.

23

From what I could find, I added it as following in order of release date:

  • The Amazing Spider-Man, Vol. 1 #146: 1st published inking work by John Romita Jr.
  • Marvel Team-Up, Vol. 1 ##56: 1st published cover by John Romita Jr.
  • Kid Colt Outlaw #218: 1st published pencil work by John Romita Jr. (Pin-Up)
  • The Amazing Spider-Man, Vol. 1 Annual #11: 1st published pencil work by John Romita Jr.

Since he’s a penciler and he’s a big name, all of the description had to be specific and detailed :slight_smile:

From what I can find is that Simonson came in as an inker when he went to Marvel. HoH #1 has him doing an illustration on a text story. MoKF #24 is his real 1st “artwork” at Marvel in standard size comic (in this case inking work).

Found more info on Son of Vulcan. It was his first professional sale. Oddly, he was already working at Marvel by the time it saw print. That’s why it came out later.

I’ve adjusted the info to be more specific
