Bill Mantlo

The concluding half of Marvel's Bronze Age cult favourite: Bill Mantlo and Sal Buscema drive Rom the Spaceknight's war against the Dire Wraiths to its finish, exposing the shapeshifters' invasion across the wider Marvel Universe before Rom finally regains his humanity. Long out of print in single issues, the Rom run stayed unreprinted for decades due to licensing, making this omnibus the only complete way to own the ending.

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.
