About this omnibus

The first time Rom the Spaceknight's Marvel run has been collected in one book. Bill Mantlo turned a Parker Brothers electronic toy into a genuine Marvel Universe saga, threading the Dire Wraiths through S.H.I.E.L.D., the X-Men and Doctor Strange, while Sal Buscema drew the entire run. 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.

This first omnibus gathers the run's opening arcs, from the flight out of the Microverse to the Baron Karza war, long expensive and hard to find on the back-issue market.

Description

Background. Rom launched in 1979 to promote a Parker Brothers electronic toy, but Bill Mantlo and Sal Buscema built something far larger. A cyborg knight from the planet Galador arrives on Earth hunting the Dire Wraiths, shapeshifting alien sorcerers who have quietly infiltrated humanity. Because Rom vaporizes Wraiths disguised as ordinary people, everyone but a handful of allies sees him as the monster, and his war becomes one of Marvel's most heartfelt cult sagas.

What's inside. Collects Rom (1979) #1-29 and Power Man and Iron Fist #73. The run introduces Brandy Clark, ties the Wraith war into S.H.I.E.L.D. and brings in guest stars from across the Marvel Universe, including the X-Men, the Fantastic Four and Doctor Strange. Written by Bill Mantlo with interior art by Sal Buscema throughout and Greg LaRocque, plus Frank Miller's original first-issue cover.

Why it's worth it. Because Rom is a licensed character, his stories sat locked out of print for decades and single issues climbed on the back-issue market. This omnibus makes the run readable from the start in a single volume for the first time, essential for Bill Mantlo fans and Bronze Age Marvel collectors.

Edition details. 704 pages. US edition published by Marvel Comics. ISBN 9781302956714.
