About the series

Marvel’s Rom (1979–1986) follows a lone Spaceknight from the planet Galador, sworn to hunt the evil Dire Wraiths who have infiltrated Earth. Anchored by the writing of Bill Mantlo and the distinctive art of Sal Buscema—with early design work by Steve Ditko—the series blends cosmic sci-fi with small-town horror, as Rom and his human allies defend West Virginia from shape-shifting invaders. A unique licensed property that became a cult Marvel classic, it matters for its ambitious, long-form storytelling and the emotional weight it brought to its armored hero.
