ROM Spaceknight... Ahhhhh ahhhhhhh...


Hey, one of the most noble if not the coolest cosmic superheroes of all time Rom, now has his own song by HB3. It's off their newly released Luminosity album. You can go to their myspace page here to listen to the whole song.

Here is the intro to HB3’s Rom Spaceknight music video.


Here is part of HB3’s Rom Spaceknight song with footage from an old Rom commercial.

The power of the ancient LEDs was remarkable!

The toy sucked... the comic rocked in 50s horror kinda way

The comic seemed pretty cool. I only have a single issue (#30, the Christmas issue, released in May).

It did have an interesting edge of horror with the 'wraiths can look like people' bit.

The problem with the toy was that it was too big to really interact with any other toys of the era; I think it was too big for the big GI Joes, even.

Cool tune!

Arkonbey – Rom is great, a very underrated series. It really needs to be collected into trade form. Marvel doesn’t own the rights to the character though, but I’ve read some rumors that they are trying to work that out. It was one of the titles that really got me into comics back in the day.

Moody – it is kinda cool, I’m glad I stumbled across it.

Loved robots from the 50's movies (and earlier) - especially TOBOR the Great, Robbie from "Forbidden Planet" (which was later used for Lost in Space TV series), and of course Gort (one of, if not the, most awesome of them all).

I like the look of this one. Looks like a cool comic book.

Actually, Rom is cyborg, although he mostly machine. The design is very reminiscent of the classic robots though and that’s one of the reasons I think he works so well.
