Experience a spectacular, action-packed blockbuster era in 1980s sci-fi history! Rom Epic Collection: The Original Marvel Years Vol. 1 Paperback delivers a massive, 432-page comprehensive showcase capturing writer Bill Mantlo's legendary, industry-defining tenure charting Galador's greatest protector.
Marvel's award-winning Epic Collection line offers thick, comprehensive, and chronologically curated volumes that collect massive chunks of classic storylines. This essential volume takes you deep undercover on a high-stakes interstellar warfare, extraterrestrial espionage, and superhero survival hunt. Read along as the cybernetic vanguard traces a blood-paved course across the deep cosmos to Earth, clashing brutally through a unified front of shapeshifting alien infiltrators, rogue shape-shifters, and ancient predators to secure the safety of the planet before the universe collapses into ultimate devastation.
Key Story Highlights:
  • The Dire Wraith Infiltration: Follow Rom across dangerous global terrain on a breathless hunt as he targets shapeshifting alien invaders who have successfully compromised the highest echelons of human authority—including S.H.I.E.L.D. itself!
  • The High-Tech Arsenal: Watch the armored Spaceknight deploy on a brutal, investigative tactical mission, relying on his specialized energy analyzer to strip away alien disguises and utilizing his lethal neutralizer to banish foes directly into Limbo.
  • The Marvel Universe Crossovers: Witness the absolute crown jewel of classic sci-fi storytelling as Earth's defenders struggle to decipher Rom's identity, pushing him into sudden, chaotic team-ups and clashes with the X-Men, Jack of Hearts, the Space Phantom, and the Mad Thinker.
This incredible, heavy-duty book is an absolute crown-jewel library centerpiece addition for modern Marvel completionists, classic 80s sci-fi historians, and sequential art illustrators looking to study master-level narrative pacing, retro dynamic coloring, and classical comic drafting by legends Bill Mantlo and Sal Buscema.
