SWEET X-MAS!! I remember Rom #1 hit the stands on Tuesday Sept, 11th, 1979. loved the character and series. Bill Mantlo took Klaatu and Gort the giant robot/ space policeman. From the SF 1951 classic The Day the Earth Stood Still. And merged into one character with kind of a swipe from the Silver Surfer’s origin. With the Dire Wraiths kind of like the original 1954 Invasion of the Body Snatchers. Crossed with the Alien creature from Alien/Aliens. I’d love to see a trilogy of movies based off this series. Directed by Sam Raimi. With Bruce Campbell doing cameos as various characters. Maybe as a Dire Wraith.
