My most favorite Comic Book Character ROM the Spaceknight is finally getting his due. Fans and not just me under multiple alias have been demanding an Omnibus or reprints for a long time. The rights issues have been hairy for some time including a brief moment when Marvel was set to buy Rom outright but the deal fell apart at the last moment. This is an amazing time to see this much beloved hero return again to shine in the light of Galador. In the mean time he has been seen to be bumping around The Secret Compartment Show

Its almost time fr Vol one to ship put and Vol 2 is one sale. I am very excited!

ROM: THE ORIGINAL YEARS OMNIBUS VOLUME 1 will collect ROM (1979) #1-29 and POWER MAN AND IRON FIST (1978) #73. He strikes from outer space…and nothing can stop him! Marvel Comics is proud to present the iconic early adventures of the greatest of Spaceknights — Rom! Centuries ago, Rom pledged his life to protect his planet, Galador, from the evil Dire Wraiths. Now, Rom has tracked these vile creatures across the cosmos to Earth, where they have infiltrated the highest levels of power — including S.H.I.E.L.D. itself! Armed with his energy analyzer, only Rom can see the Wraiths’ true form — and with his neutralizer, he can blast them into Limbo! But what will Earth make of this armored invader? Will Rom’s quest be aided or hindered by encounters with the X-Men, the Fantastic Four, Jack of Hearts, Nova, and Power Man and Iron Fist? And when Galactus targets Galador, can Rom and his fellow Spaceknights save their homeworld from destruction?
