Sometimes you just have to love how the comic community can band together and do something great.
20 years ago, Bill Mantlo (writer of ROM Spaceknight) was left paralyzed in a hit and run accident. Floating World Comics has since arranged for several artists to create new and original ROM art, all of which is currently up on eBay and all of which is going to benefit him. If there was ever a time to bid on a last minute somewhat late gift for the holiday season, I do believe now would be the time.
We mention ROM here a lot at Multiversity, and that’s only because as much as we joke, the character did have staying power. We’d certainly love to see him come back, but in the mean time, check out Floating World Comics’ eBay account to bid on prints and original art, or visit their blog to see more images of ROM art, both new and old.
