Rom #9

In "The Stalker in the Night!", Rom finds himself trapped at the bottom of a mine shaft, where he encounters the ancient and vengeful Serpentyne—a being with a deep grudge against the Dire Wraiths and a surprising past connection to Ms. Marvel. With the local sheriff turning against him and Brandy and Steve in danger, Rom must survive Serpentyne’s assault while uncovering the truth behind the creature’s hatred. Written by Bill Mantlo and illustrated by Sal Buscema with inks by the same, this 1980 Marvel issue features dynamic art and a tense, mystery-driven plot, all wrapped in a striking cover by Michael Golden.
