Hammerhand

Crashing onto the scene in the Bronze Age pages of Rom #20 (1981), Hammerhand is a Marvel creation forged by the legendary team of Bill Mantlo and Sal Buscema — the same duo who made Rom one of the most surprisingly rich sci-fi epics of its era. Sharing adventures alongside cosmic heavy-hitters like Rom himself, Starshine, and Brandy Clark, this character inhabits a corner of the Marvel universe where alien menace and earthbound drama collide in spectacular fashion. With appearances preserved across Rom: The Original Marvel Years Omnibus and its Epic Collection companion, Hammerhand endures as a testament to just how much storytelling ambition Mantlo and Buscema packed into every issue — and for collectors hunting the complete Bronze Age Rom saga, every appearance counts.
