Marvel Bronze Age sketch cards of Bill Mantlo created characters

Kicking off Decemebr I'm featuring another Deviant Art find from some art that was just uploaded to DA a few days ago. The following is an excerpt from the artist's introduction info:

"The last of my sketch cards for Rittenhouse Archive's Marvel Bronze Age set. If you know me at all, then you probably know that Bill Mantlo's Rom: Spaceknight is one of my all-time favorite series. Now the lead is out of the question due to legal issues, but I was able to work in two of his classic villains in this set."

It really amazes me all the Rom related fan art that still keeps turning up. And bare in mind I just feature the stuff here that I find which I like the most. To see more sketch card art work from his gallery go here: http://seanrm.deviantart.com/gallery/

  2. You would think that the sheer volume of fan art popping up, not to mention members of the Marvel community that WANT Rom back would motivate everyone to negotiate something that would obviously make money. Of course intelligence isn't required for ascension of the corporate ladder.

    1. the financial collapse in late 2008 certainly supports what you said in your last sentence.
