Rom: the Original Marvel Years Omnibus Vol. 1 Miller First Issue Cover | 
pickAfter the success of StarWars and the associated toys and a Marvel licensed comic, Editor Jim Shooter was looking for the next big toy/comic tie-in. A deal was struck with Parker Brothers and this Omnibus collects the result. It starts off childish, as you might expect, but as the toy was flopping, the comic had its own life & actually gets interesting. Nothing new to see here, but we get an entertaining, paranoid, “Body Snatchers” type thriller.
The_Book_Ninja If you have a spare 5 minutes, the story of the failure of the toy is quite an entertaining one https://www.whenitwascool.com/rom-the-story-of-rom-the-spaceknight 5h
