Rom Epic Collection: The Original Marvel Years Vol. 4

Bill Mantlo began his Marvel career on Deadly Hands of Kung Fu, introducing White Tiger, one of the industry’s earliest Hispanic superheroes. He eventually wrote for almost every Marvel title, with some of his most fondly remembered work on Incredible Hulk and Spectacular Spider-Man. He also created Rocket Raccoon, launched Cloak & Dagger in a pair of miniseries, and guided Alpha Flight through some of its most harrowing ordeals. Mantlo excelled at integrating licensed properties into the Marvel Universe, as demonstrated by Micronauts and Rom, both of which he wrote from start to finish. At DC, he wrote the Invasion miniseries, one of the company’s biggest crossover events.

Sal Buscema started as an inker for his older brother, John, before penciling Captain America, Defenders, Incredible Hulk, and more. Famed for his ability to meet tight deadlines, he spread his talents across multiple genres. His 1970s work ranged from Ms. Marvel and Nova to Sub-Mariner and Spider-Woman’s first appearance in Marvel Spotlight. He was the uninterrupted artist on Spectacular Spider-Man for over a hundred issues and penciled the web-slinger’s adventures in Marvel Team-Up, where he and writer Bill Mantlo introduced Captain Jean DeWolff. After handling more team-ups in The Thing’s Marvel Two-in-One, he reunited with his brother John on Steve Englehart’s Fantastic Four. He later provided inks for Tom DeFalco’s Spider-Girl titles and Thunderstrike miniseries.

Mark Bright, formerly a regular artist on Solo Avengers and West Coast Avengers, is noted for his work with writer Christopher Priest on Falcon, Power Man and Iron Fist, Quantum and Woody, and other titles. He has also drawn Marvel’s incarnation of G.I. Joe and several DC flagship characters in Action Comics Weekly, Batman, and Green Lantern.
