Wow this takes me back when I had the toys very well done

Ah, I have always hoped that Marvel would get the license back to Micronauts in our lifetime and we could do more of Commander Rann and co. I was just reading Twomorrows latest Back Issue, and the detail of Mantlo/Golden's collaboration was so inspiring to read. I didn't much about the genesis of the early issues, and BA reminded me how much I loved it. If only Golden could've done the first issue cover, then he'd have a complete cover/interiors 12-issue run. No disrespect to the late Dave Cockrum, who did a good job, but still, I'm glad we have what we have. And thanks for letting me be a part of this piece!

The Micronauts are so long-overdue a big screen treatment it's simply criminal.

to be fair it would require a licence from Hasbro to use the majority of the characters in the comics if it were to be based off of the Marvel version (i.e Acroyer, Karza, Pharoid, Biotron etc.) which only Marvel owns three characters from the comic (Rann, Β Marionette and Bug). If I recall correctly Marvel has licences with Hasbro to make toys of Marvel characters so you never know, they might!

Micronauts is one of those comics that perfectly represent late 70s / early 80s Marvelβ my favorite era!
Thanks for sharing!

Can't ever get enough 'Nauts! I hope the licensing eventually clears up so we can see a pretty archive edition! Thanks for this!

Just picket up the whole series and re-reading it now. That's a fun series. This piece captures it perfectly I think.

I was obsessed with Bill Mantlo's micronauts. still reread it every couple years.It's really great.And it had great art teams kicking off with the incredible Michael Golden run,and later Butch Guice.
Mantlo's Rom is also amazing.I'm rereading it currently.

Dusty- Man, you did an amazing image there. The biggest Micro's fan here loved Goldens work and just loved the characters. Great job very impressive.

Yup...the one I always remember was the one with the Wolverine clan...kinda American Indian looking tribesmen. That was a great comic from the "Gigantic Bicycle Sweepstakes Ad At The Top Of The Cover" era.

i was always the micronauts guy cause of golden and how friggn' cool the toys were. golden did a number of memorable covers for rom though that i loved!

good times! golden coulda worked them in somehow if he'd stayed on the book, and they probably woulda been pretty dang cool!

I loved the comics. I remember as a kid thinking Baron Karza was as evil as it could get. He's still one of my all time favorite villains in comics. Never did really like those big plastic red drill bit lookin things on his back in the toy version...man that sucker was heavy.

Awesome. I used to have (...still do) every issue to this series from the 80's.
