This is a page from the manual for the Sega Mega Drive/Genesis game Spider-Man Vs Kingpin, it's written by Steve Englehart and inked by John Romita but the penciller is unknown. Any thoughts?

It looks to me like it's all Romita.

I thought the same but it's Englehart saying otherwise.

It might be Alex Saviuk.

The first panel of each page throws me. Page 1 panel 1 MJ pose doesn't look like Romita to me. Page 2 panel 1 could be Saviuk. The rest looks like Romita.

Alex has a facebook page, some one could ask him.
I met Alex this year. He was part of a Jack Kirby Panel, along with Tom Lyle, Richard Harrison, G(Gregory) MB Chomichuk, and Donovan Yaciuk. Great Panel, lots of camaraderie for a bunch of guys who just met. Well, more like three groups of friends meeting.

Definitely NOT all Romita, but I can't place the penciller. Saviuk was my rough guess, too.

I'd question the notion that it's even inked by Romita. I'd say someone else inked it and maybe Romita touched up some of the faces. The inks in general seem to have the "house style" that was characteristic of several Filipino artists in the 80s, like Romeo Tanghal and Danny Bulandi. I would bet it's at least partly the work of one of those guys.

I had that game, and I remember this art!!!
Anyway, I'm also thinking Saviuk inked by Romita.
