The same week I scored some Team America I also got a few issues of ROM: Spaceknight, another Bill Mantlo scripted mind trip. This one features a trip to Xandar, the world that is home to Nova and the Champions of Xandar, a sort of also-ran space super-team that was eclipsed by the more popular Guardians of the Galaxy. Though Nova himself has had a recent relaunch that some people are saying is cool. Anyway, issue number 24 of ROM includes one of those great old D&D ads that was itself a comic strip.

I was one of the three people on the planet who followed it religiously. Chicken-powered spacecraft in HIGH OCTANE TRUCKING ACTION.
Retroactively declared a 12-issue maxi-series when they decided it wasn't going to last.
Not sure if my posts are getting through at all, but if they are: Hi :)
10-4! I read you loud and clear, good buddy!
ReplyDeleteSome day, I will have each and every one of those old D&D ads.

And a hologram of my family, because I know where to go to get one.
