Rom #75

The final chapter of "The Spaceknight's Saga" arrives with Rom #75, and P. Craig Russell's cover says it all — a towering, radiant Rom stands amid drifting clouds and a golden sunrise, arms open wide, while two figures below hold hands amid the rubble of what looks like a world finally at peace. Birds wheel freely through the warm sky, and the tagline "After 200 Years… Paradise!" gives the whole image a genuine sense of hard-won triumph. Writer Bill Mantlo and artist Steve Ditko bring the long-running saga to its conclusion, making this February 1986 issue a fitting farewell to one of Marvel's most dedicated cosmic warriors.
