Who is Steve Jackson?

Steve Jackson is a supporting character in Marvel's Rom series, a resident of Clairton, West Virginia, whose life becomes entangled with the Spaceknight Rom and the secret Dire Wraith invasion threatening his small town.

Stepping onto the scene in 1979's most talked-about Bronze Age Marvel launch, Steve Jackson made his debut in Rom #2, brought to life by the legendary creative team of Bill Mantlo and Sal Buscema. Over a remarkable publishing span stretching across nearly five decades, he's carved out a steady presence in the world of the Spaceknight saga, sharing pages with Rom himself, Brandy Clark, and the rest of that memorable cast of characters. With 35 catalog appearances concentrated in Rom and its celebrated Epic Collection and Omnibus editions, Steve is very much part of the fabric of one of Marvel's most beloved cult series. If you're diving into that rich Bronze Age corner of the Marvel Universe, he's a familiar face worth getting to know.
