Description

OK, Rom isn't really a zombie here but close!

This is a recap page of the events that occurred in Rom #43. The melodrama of Starshine (Brandy Clark) believe she had killed Rom due to a switcheroo in the previous issue is such comic book soap opera goodness - especially when followed by the realization that she didn't kill him, but he's actually dying anyway.

#43 and #44 was some great storytelling by Mantlo where Rom is tempted from his mission and is, temporarily, able to recover his humanity. This momentary lapse had long-lasting echoes in the rest of the series.

This is also the first Rom page I've added that was inked by Aikin and Garvey and I think their moody finishes over Sal's layouts match the feeling of the issues really well.

Rom Zombie page!!! noiiiice. This is an awesome and certainly unique ROM page, and that inking pair compliment Sal's pencils very nicely to your point. Great pickup!

I thought it was Rob Zombie.  A nice horror tinged page that turns Sal's art towards DC horror more than Marvel superhero by the inkers.

A friend put together a video of Rom set to Dragula for me after I called him Rom Zombie here. ;)

Inks are by Ian Akin and Brian Garvey (not Ron Garney ;), still both did a terrific job to embellish Sal's work, great recap page, congrats !
