Rom Spacepod

Rom is in a coma and Steven, Brandy and their friend Artie must do all they can to try and revive him - before they all end up prey of the sinister Thornoids! Gasp as Brandy tells Steve that she has feelings for Rom! Thrill as carnivorous plants kill a member of our cast! And shed a tear as the Hellhounds mourn their fallen comrades! Plus: listener feedback!

Rom eats a light-bulb and fights the Hell-Hounds of the Dark Nebula! Meanwhile, Steve becomes slightly less annoying, we get 75% less Brandy, and our Dire Wraith inside SHIELD... is no more.

Rom remembers an old girlfriend while ogling Brandy; a spooky house tries to kill our heroes; and we learn that Dire Wraiths are really mean.

Rom continues his battle with Archie Stryker, aka Firefall! Along the way Brandy and Steve do things! And Barry wonders aloud about Rom's sexuality. It's that kind of show, folks.

An emotionally spent readership moves on from the sad death of Tempest the dog in issue 2... Rom continues to mourn his lost humanity and ponder the ethics of getting jiggy with an Earth woman... Brandy is captured by shadowy government agents... and new character sensation Archie Stryker is transformed into the human/spaceknight hybrid known as Firefall!

Rom continues to uncover evidence of Dire Wraith activity on Earth, making an enemy of a mobster named Stryker. Also: Witness the tragic end of Tempest the dog! Gasp at the stirrings of a bizarre love triangle between Rom, Brandy and Steve! And shudder at the horror of... the evil telephone lady Dire Wraith!

We begin our journey through the comic book exploits of Rom, greatest of the spaceknights! This episode features a look at issue # 1, released with a cover date of December 1979.
