Strange #144
In "Crise!", Rom faces a pivotal moment after the Wraith war's end, torn between reclaiming his humanity with Ray-Na and answering the call to continue his duty as a Spaceknight. Written by Bill Mantlo and illustrated by Sal Buscema with colors by Ben Sean, this 1981 issue captures a defining choice that reshapes Rom’s path. The cover by Jean Frisano vividly captures the tension of that decision.
In the quiet coastal woods of North Carolina, Rom—amnesiac and adrift—finds unexpected kindness in a young girl who shelters him in a hidden cave. When the Plunderer terrorizes the region, raiding boats in search of vibranium, Rom must confront the villain whose vibra-ray reignites forgotten memories.
In the aftermath of the Wraith war, Rom faces a quiet moment with Ray-Na on Galador—until the Prime Director calls him back to duty. Torn between reclaiming his humanity and honoring his oath to protect the galaxy, Rom makes a solemn choice: to remain a Spaceknight, forever bound to the endless fight against the Wraiths.
