Both of these fantastic artists still have it and are emblematic of the companies they did most of their work for. Aside from perhaps Jack Kirby, Romita's work symbolized the Marvel look for much of the 60's and 70's. Twomorrows recently put out a fantastic book on Romita written by his fellow Bullpener Roy Thomas. I was lucky enough to get a sketch inside the book by the jazzy one himself. It's one of my favorite sketches.
There's also a new Kubert book coming book by comic book historian Bill Schelly. It looks great and promises to be one of the most comprehensive books yet on this legend. To pre-order, click here. If you enjoy great comic art and aren't familiar with these guys, you need to check them out. There aren't much better.
