Marvel Universe Deluxe Hand Book # 11 with cover correction

Aside from the the horrid art work on ROM's bio page the other thing that  fu#$%& pissed me off about this issue back in the day was that Rom was absent from both the front and back cover. To go from getting top billing in the first Marvel Universe to being absent on the deluxe version was like adding injury on top of more injury. I mean seriously couldn't they have found at least a small thumbnail space some where between the front and back cover of the issue to allocate to the Greatest of the Spaceknights!? Well at least here I can make that over due correction.

Like issue 9, issue 15 of the original series also did justice to Rom by having him grace the cover. Aside from that Rom had two full pages allocated to his armor and accessories (although there was a mix up there). But what would have made that issue even cooler is if they had included the Torpedo armor too. But considering that the Torpedo had already died when this issue was published along with his D-list status it comes as no surprise the Torpedo armor was absent. But what if ?
