Rom #1 - non-attributed Frank Miller cover + 1st appearance

Frank Miller

Rom (spaceknight) v1 #1, 1979 - This premiere issue features the first appearance of Rom. The Galadorian warrior newly arrives on Earth to pursue the Dire Wraiths but is mistaken for an invader instead. This character coincided with the new Parker Brothers toy of the same name. Using a more common approach to the cover, Frank Miller places the hero centrally and prominently while bystanders fill the background. Each figure is carefully placed in an orderly design. The worm's eye view adds some dynamism to the scene, but not enough to offset the lack of details. Miller's cover is uncredited in some comic book guides. This Bill Mantlo story was drawn by Sal Buscema. This is 1 of 4 Rom issues by Miller. /// key 1st appearance, 1st cover Rom, 1st issue
