I read these as a kid. In fact, I actually started getting the toys due to my love of the comic. It’s been over 40 years, so I can’t remember much of the story… but I do remember that I liked it enough to stay with it through both runs (which is saying something, considering my attention span). I bought the Omni but haven’t had a chance yet to sit down and read it.

Great review, Omega Blu! I am definitely gonna buy this one. So many memories came back as you flipped the pages. Like I had the first part of the Psycho Man story but not the second! The reason why was I was 12, 13 or so and living on an allowance, so I had to be judicious in what books I bought. Micronauts was pretty low on my list, but I always remember liking the ones I had. I especially liked the first Annual by Ditko, and was delighted to see he also drew the second one! I love Pat Broderick's work, but Chaykin's looked bad here (paired with a poor inker, I suspect). The book went direct sales only at some point, and I noticed the UPC box disappeared near the end of this omni. I was buying Ka-Zar at the time, so again didn't follow Micronauts. I like the idea of getting this series and having a pretty self-contained world to immerse myself in, kinda like Adam Strange. Also the Ant-Man and Man-Thing stories weren't available to include in their Epic and omnibus, respectively, s here's my chance to nab 'em. And almost all of this series will be new to me. Thanks for the overview and recollections. I think that first issue Cockrum cover is imprinted in your mind (as it is in my own) because Marvel advertised the heck out of this title back in '79 and that cover appeared in every Marvel title. PS: Just like Rom, I never had the toys, and can't remember ever seeing them for sale.

I never read the original copies but read them on reprints on different paper with more than one issue together. Not all fo the were reprinted, so I bought some later issues through mail order. I did not get all of the rest, but some of the issues that were left off. I also bought the annuals and saw one of the pages of annual one that showed the Fantastic four were in it and I bought that after. I also bought some of the issues from the second series. Unfortunately, they were damaged in a flood in the house I live in now. My father told me to keep the in his and my mother's basement. So far this video I do not see any of the letter's pages included. It seems like most of the comics after the 1970s do not have their letters included except for some of the X-Men -men Ones.

I read these as a kid, but only up to issue 10 or so. Michael Golden was the best artist for this and when he left I began to lose interest. Would like to have seen the various artists pointed out after Golden, I saw some Howard Chakyn and I think Ditko? Pat Broderick was good also, but none of them had the aesthetic appeal of Golden's work. The Micronauts copied a lot from Star Wars but were also pretty original in some of the characters and concepts. Thanks for the review.
