Rom

Rom is proof that a toy license could produce genuine tragedy. Bill Mantlo took a barely-selling Parker Brothers action figure and built a 75-issue war epic around a Galadorian knight who gave up his humanity, sealing his flesh inside cyborg armor, to hunt the Dire Wraiths. The emotional engine of the whole run is that sacrifice: Rom can save Earth but can never again be seen as a man, only as a frightening metal stranger the people he protects don't trust.

The run is now gathered as Rom: The Original Marvel Years. Volume 1 collects the founding issues with Sal Buscema's clean, powerful art, establishing the neutralizer, the energy analyzer and the terror of an enemy that can wear anyone's face, including inside S.H.I.E.L.D. Later volumes escalate the secret Wraith invasion into a full Earth war and weave through the wider Marvel Universe.

Rom: The Original Marvel Years Omnibus Vol. 1-2

Bill Mantlo and Sal Buscema turned a toy licence into one of Marvel's great cult sagas, and this pack collects the original run in two oversized omnibus volumes. Rom, greatest of the Spaceknights of Galador, lands in small-town America to hunt the Dire Wraiths, shape-shifting invaders hidden among humanity, having traded his own humanity for cybernetic armour and a two-hundred-year war. A founding cult classic that spent decades out of print, now collected in two volumes.

It gathers the origin and Rom's arrival on Earth across his first twenty-nine issues, a Bronze Age cult classic locked out of print for decades by licensing disputes.
