Vera

Debuting in the pages of Rom #50 in 1984, Vera is a Bronze Age Marvel creation brought to life by the legendary team of Bill Mantlo and Sal Buscema — the very duo who made Rom one of the most beloved cult series of its era. She keeps remarkable company, sharing adventures with Rom himself alongside figures like Scanner, Seeker, Tarm, and Vola in stories that crackle with the cosmic energy that defined that title. With appearances stretching across four decades — from the original run through the Rom Epic Collection — Vera has quietly endured far beyond the Bronze Age moment that birthed her, a testament to the rich world Mantlo and Buscema built. For fans diving deep into Rom's mythology, she's exactly the kind of discovery that makes collecting so rewarding.
