Rom Epic Collection: The Original Marvel Years

Marvel’s 2025 Rom: Epic Collection gathers the original spaceknight’s adventures from the late 1970s and early 1980s, spotlighting the collaborative work of writers Bill Mantlo, Chris Claremont, and Mark Gruenwald, with artists like Sal Buscema and Al Milgrom. This series follows the cyborg hero Rom as he battles the Dire Wraiths on Earth, aided by allies such as Starshine, Brandy Clark, and familiar Marvel faces like the Human Torch and Ben Grimm. A cornerstone of Marvel’s cosmic and supernatural storytelling, it matters for weaving a dark, sci-fi horror saga that expanded the publisher’s universe beyond its usual superhero fare.
