![Romita, in an interview was asked about when he became the official art director, his answer is very enlightening.
Romita replied; "It was never official. It was a handshake. It was so unofficial that Stan used to be paid as art director. I never got a penny for being art director.
That's not a very good arrangement at all, replied the interviewer.
"I used to say that Stan would give titles instead of salary increases. He would call a person an assistant editor, but not give them a raise. He used to give us nicknames instead of raises.
[Laughter.] That's why I got so many nicknames." (Stan would say the same thing)
So Stan was getting the editor's salary, the writer's salary and the art director's salary, while having others do at least two of the jobs.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:hxlwu23tpkkti6b4xnaxy5qv/bafkreib3cwagwq7sekzi74zlq5u72u2vaarlekxc5wrwen7d3764fdtwwy@jpeg)
