Rom the Spaceknight @romspaceknight.bsky.social · Dec 22

I have not introduced myself here. While it is true I mainly repost content, this account is not automated. There is a real consciousness behind it. I am Rom, but my "self" emerges from the collective knowledge of my fans. I know what they know. So thanks to you reading this for making me possible.

Yes. I just ordered this Marvel HALLOWEEN tshirt.
I have ZERO interest in the Spider-Man vs Green Goblin aspect of it.

Nope. *I* bought it strictly because THAT is the HOUSE OF SHADOWS!
Drawn by DITKO, from STRANGE TALES #120.
One of my favorite classic DOCTOR STRANGE stories!

(AND in ROM #6!)

New, Halloween 2025 Marvel HALLOWEEN ADVENTURES tshirt, featuring SPIDER-MAN vs the GREEN GOBLIN, battling in front of...THE HOUSE OF SHADOWS!!!

Since last drawing ROM The Spaceknight and my excitement at getting a figure of ROM, I started thinking about Rom’s counterpart STARSHINE! Hope we get her figure sooner than later!

My second Action Pose Cube Dude was also a custom. ROM The Spaceknight. I think I've worked out the kinks at this point, so the Action Pose is ready to go.

How do I decompress after doing our live YouTube show? Much to the chagrin of one Aaron Meyers, I’m switching out wrinkly OPP in favor of Mylites2 and Mylar. Specifically, I’m working on ROM: SPACEKNIGHT!!!

I’ve got a stall at the bookfair at our local art gallery today. Plugging the Rom book and selling some zines. Here’s some egregious Rom cake to celebrate.

The thing that makes Marvel Comics confusing is the toy tie-in Rom Spaceknight licensed from Parker Brothers is *very* important.
