Rom #51

In "Gloves Off!", Rom and Brandy attend the solemn funeral for the destroyed town of Clairton, a moment of mourning that takes a dramatic turn when the press arrives. With the world watching, Rom steps into the light and publicly reveals himself, issuing a stark warning about the ever-present danger posed by the shapeshifting Dire Wraiths. Written by Bill Mantlo and illustrated with dynamic precision by Sal Buscema, with inks by Mel Candido, colors by Ben Sean, and letters by Janice Chiang, this pivotal issue sees Rom finally stepping out of the shadows. The cover, a striking portrait by Mike Zeck, captures the moment of revelation with intensity.
