Filed under: Famous Fanmail — Doorman @ 7:55 am

You may not be surprised to learn that most people in the comic business grew up reading comic books. However, you might be interested in knowing what they were reading. Here’s a look at “Famous Fanmail”!

Jim Krueger is the writer behind Marvel’s greatest alterniverse epic, the Earth X Trilogy. After completing that massive saga, consisting of over sixty issues, he’s recently launched Project: Superpowers alongside Alex Ross at Dynamite Entertainment. But, years before all that, he was a fan of Rom, a comic book title published by Marvel Comics based on a robotic toy made by Parker Brothers. He got a letter published in Rom #52 (cover date – March 1984), which you can read below.
