Today's offering comes from Fan Article regular, David H. and depicts ROM the Spaceknight and The Micronauts, two toy lines that received their own comicbooks from not only Marvel, but also from creative genius, Bill Mantlo.
The story goes that Mantlo's son, Adam, received a number of Micronaut toys for Christmas and - as Adam sat assembling and then playing with the toys - Mantlo was immediately taken with the micro-scale figures and persuaded Marvel to pursue the licence.
Sadly, Bill Mantlo was injured in a hit-and-run accident almost a decade ago and suffered irreparable brain damage. He now lives in a care home where he requires full-time care. Over the years, numerous comicbook creators have helped support Mantlo through a variety of projects. You can see more of these projects here.
