Alright it's time for some more of the Rom foot
notes from the collection that Gary Martin Jr. sent me
some time ago. Here we have one from Incredible Hulk 305 with Dr.
Strange and as you can see I also included some corresponding clip art
which ironically happens to have a foot note of it's own. For a synopsis
of Incredible Hulk 305

The above clip art comes from Dr. Strange #75 (vol. 2) which is retelling part of the story line from Fantastic Four #277. For those of you who don't have that issue all the panels on the top half of the page told the story of the confrontation between Ben and Johnny who had started dating Alica Masters already. Although unknown to either of those two dudes back then she was actually a skrull : ) So anyways, the conclusion of the Wraith War spills into that troubled love triangle as most of you know.
Mean while the bottom panels of the issue tell the story of a battle with that bastard Mephisto against Reed, Sue, Franklin and Dr. Strange. As you can see Mephisto was somehow drawing power from the Wraiths but as the war turned against them so did his power start to wane. I'm sure you didn't miss the little Rom #65 foot note there.

And last up we have a flash back cameo and foot note from Dr. Strange
Annual #2 (Vol. 2) in which Dr. Strange again faces and old enemy known
as The Dweller in Shadows. When Rom fought him he blew him away with
his neutralizer but it wasn't really that clear if he was sent to Limbo
or some other crappy dimensional Hell hole. Rom gave The Dweller one of
those go back to where ever you came from kinda pronouncements but I'm
not sure if that was meant to be taken literally. The other panel comes from Dr. Strange Sorcerer Supreme #2 (Vol. 3) and I'm not sure about the context of the clip art but I believe that's supposed to be a Dire Wraith but don't quote me on that.
