The portion of the video that shows this guy doing a Rom sketch only lasts for about 6-7 seconds but it's still pretty cool to see this going sketch in action. It comes at exactly 1:40 into the video:

This "micro ad" makes for over half a dozen house ads Marvel had running for Rom through out the 80s. If you look at the far left side you'll see Rom#5 and Micronauts #16. To view the full page:

On a side note here I decided to take renouncing all the Rom related crap that Marvel has come up with in the last few years and new comics in general one step further. This weekend I took my copies of the
Annihilators & Avengers Academy (Hybrid) to my local comic shop to trade for credit on back issue comics. As most of you know I've gotten sour on that stuff and felt like it was time to wash my hands of it completely.
Ha ha I don't blame you at all brother at least you put them to good use well done!!
ReplyDeletesame goes for the money i used to buy them at the time that could have been put to better use as well.
DeleteI just started an artist sketchbook which is going to feature the characters created by Bill Mantlo, as well as those where he had prominent writing gigs. The first page is going to be Rom, which Cory Hamscher is working on right now (https://www.facebook.com/cory.hamscher). He's getting it back to me before c2e2 this spring, where I hope to get page two done by Steve Ellis (Darkstar & Winter Guard). I'll make sure to get you scans of these, since you are so awesome about sharing these other pieces with us readers.
ReplyDeleteawesome! i just got word from another buddy of mine who i've known since before the internet has been around who's also working on a Rom piece too. looks like i'll have plenty of new Rom fan art to showcase in the near future.
