Before they were comics

Not feeling too good today. Trying to make myself better by trawling YouTube for good medicine like this...

Sensational Japanese Micronauts ad


C.O.P.S.

ROM has spindly little arms

ROM is not allowed to appear in the marvel universe any more due to Parker Bros owning the rights

ROM was always a little bit shit

mmm Rom was a ho hum title for me. along with Indiana Jones and the new defenders. Thats not 'Indiana jones and the new defenders'.. that would have been great

Oh Christ, I loved the Indiana Jones comic. If you remember I had them all.

When I was a kid I thought Rom was pretty badass, but that female spaceknight with a head like a cushion was always whining- I hated her. Got to say I liked where Torpedo got his head stabbed by a Dire Wraith.

I don't know what the hell Parker bros were thinking when they made the arms that skinny?!!

I loved ROM. When Bill Mantlo was on, he was really on. Trying to remember-- did he invent the backstory, and then it was applied to the toy, or was it already part of the Parker Bros. pitch, and he adapted it?
