End of June Rom fan art sightings & the 80s Sal Buscema Rom vs. HULK sketch art that you never knew existed!


The movie Prometheus inspired a series of these "June favorite aliens of the month" entries in which severl different aliens and alien characters are featured in this flying saucer and blue light scene. Rather then try to explain further it it's probably best you check the rest of em here: http://www.panelsonpages.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=30&p=62495#p61741

 This Ego The Living Planet sketch is by artist Jeremy Haun which he did while at a Comic convention in St. Louise earlier this month. Ego looks great although it would have been nice if he had spent a bit more time on Rom. But on general principle I think it was pretty cool that out of all the more mainstream characters in the Marvel Universe who have encountered Ego over the decades that he decided to use Rom here. As many of you recall Rom encountered Ego in Rom issue 59 in which he freed fellow spaceknights Seeker and Scanner from Ego while also banishing numerous Wraiths in an act of mercy who had also been captured by Ego and were being slowly digested.

 I found this in a back ground photo of the wall space of  Floating World Comics in Portland Oregon. Thank goodness the photo image was really big so that I was able to enlarge and crop this sketch from it and present it here at a good size (magnify it!). Outside of the Sal Buscema signature at the bottom left I can't tell you anything else about it unfortunately. Needless to say this is beyond awesome it's nothing short of criminal that nobody has ever showcased this before anywhere for a broad audience. And remember true believers you saw it here first on the blog site for ROM fans who aren't dicks!

  3. Love the Buscema piece. I wonder how many more pieces like this are out there? I would love to come across his 'idea/sketchbook' and see what he may have doodled just as concepts and such.

    1. yeah it's good other wise i wouldn't have featured it here but like i said i just wish he had spent a bit more time on fine tuning the ROM portion of it.
      however, tomorrow's posting will feature ROM rendered awesomely 100%.

  7. That Sal Buscema piece was probably drawn for one of Floating World's Bill Mantlo fund raisers.

    If the two of US could draw up stuff for it (which we did) it's only fair to assume that Pal Sal did so too.

    Still, nice finds!

    1. Sorry for the multiple posts. For some reason, my laptop hates your comment section.
      (Or your comment section hates my laptop. Either/or)

    2. don't worry i got rid of those comment glitches. that Buscema sketch was along the wall space with a bunch of Mantlo fundraiser pieces so you're probably right. but the weird thing is i never saw it displayed anywhere as an available auction piece or other wise. by all accounts that should have been the most coveted art just by virtue of who did it. good to see you here again ~P~. you've been pretty busy i presume with the big pain in the ass we commonly refer to as life?
