ROM #3 - COMPLETE STORY (Sal Buscema)
ROM is definitely one of my guilty pleasures. A comic based on a toy that was never really successful? Really?
Yes.
ROM was a Parker Brothers toy that had red LED eyes that lit up. At the time (1979), it was considered cutting edge and even made the cover of TIME magazine. In spite of that, it wasn’t really successful in the marketplace. At Bill Mantlo’s urging, MARVEL made a play for the comic rights and then Bill created an entire backstory for the space knight from Galador. Sal Buscema handled the art chores and established ROM’s look and feel.
The comic outlasted the toy, running for some 75 issues. The world that Bill Mantlo created contained not just ROM, but also the Dire Wraiths, the balance of the Space knight corps, and concerned human authorities who didn’t understand that ROM was there to protect them. Seriously, it was good stuff.
Anyway, when I came across the opportunity to purchase the entire third issue, I jumped on it. I’m a sucker for complete stories and am thrilled to have such an early example.
