Spaceknight? What's THAT?

Ad for Rom Comic

What I should have done before the first post is share this with you:

The intro-paragraph from Marvel Comics "Rom" issues 2-75 (1979-1985):
Two-hundred years ago, the evil Dire Wraiths threatened the peace-loving planet, Galador. In their homeworld's darkest hour, a thousand brave, young Galadorians sacrificed humanity itself to become Cyborg Warriors, a last desperate line of defense. Though hopelessly outnumbered, these Spaceknights triumphed and pursued the remnants of the Wraith horde across the universe. Now, alone in the Enemy's mightiest stronghold, on a backward planet called Earth, one Galadorian Warrior faces his most awesome challenge.

Ad for Rom toy

In the late 70's, Parker Brothers attempted (and failed) at making toys by introducing Rom Spaceknight. The toy had some LED lights and a whopping two points of articulation. Yes, he could move his arms. Blah, blah, blah and Parker Brothers licensed the character to Marvel Comics to promote the toy. The toy died off and the comic book lived on. And it's a good thing that the comic lived on because it is one of my favorites. I initially read it about a year ago and this will be my second time reading through the series. There are 75 issues and a few tie-ins that span from 1979-1985.
