Description
I must admit that i'm a great fan of those strange space/supernatural superheroes and supervillans that had great success during the 60's & 70's.Here's a tribute to Rom, the space knight.
Salutz!

I believe ROM was originally planned as an action figure and Marvel got the writes to turn him into a comic book, but they have since lost the rights. Β However, with Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 being produced I hear they are trying to get some sort of limited rights to the character back to either have him appear in Vol. 2 or in a future GotG.

Being on GotG would be great! I've also seen a new version of him in a comic book somewhere and it seems they revamped him a bit too.

I've read he might come back in a IDW comic series!

looks like you were right about ROM coming back with IDW but it turned out like shit it's scarcely anything like the ROM we know started with his horrible armor make over, oh wellΒ csuhsux.deviantart.com/art/Triβ¦

Rom in case you were curious was actually a licensed character based on a short-lived toyline from Parker Brothers. Because the comic was much more successful than the actual toy Marvel was able to hold onto the rights for quite a few years.
Eventually they lost the rights leading to the book's cancellation. Sadly the likelyhood of a Rom revival seem unlikely anytime soon due to the copyrights on the character being tied up. A pity.

I remember sitting at my Grandmothers place one rainy afternoon, and going through my dads old comics.
Rom the space knight was among them and I really liked it! Though I could never find anything for it afterwords!
What did ever happen to Rom?

Rom was my favorite Marvel Comic in the 80's. I loved how he had cross overs that never really needed those silly banners on the cover.

Vorrei scrivere questo messaggio con il lazo, ma non esiste ancora questa opzione. Adesso vado a farmi un panino: strumento elisse, trasforma selezione, riempi, aggiungi contrasto, saturazione, flatto i livelli e salvo in formato .mortazza.

That was a looooong time ago Fanboy. What if marvel decided to throw in those old stories again?
Thank for looking!
