“A House Is Not a Home!”

Rom barrels through chaos on this April 1980 cover, his armored form crackling with energy as writhing tentacles and flying debris close in from every direction — while two frightened civilians scramble for cover in the background. The bold tagline "The House That Haunted Space Knights!" sets an eerie, almost gothic tone that pairs wonderfully with the promise of a Doctor Strange guest appearance, making this issue feel like a genuine crossroads of Marvel's cosmic and supernatural corners. Al Milgrom's cover art captures the Spaceknight mid-battle with real kinetic force, giving the scene an urgent, pull-you-in energy that holds up beautifully.
