Transformers: Dark Star

Transformers: Dark Star 

By Bob Budiansky & Jose Delbo (Titan Books)
ISBN 1-84023-960-3

As the Transformers franchise trundled towards its big anniversary, this collection of reprints garnered from the US comic series (#46-50) detailed the coming of the bounty-hunting Roadjammers. Meanwhile Optimus Prime has to contend with the evil Scorponok in a quest to discover artefacts of super technology hidden in the lost city known as the Underbase.

Writer Budiansky was soon to relinquish his role to Simon Furman, and the stories were already taking on a darker edge, but that is largely irrelevant and this still remains one of the most successful children’s comics of modern times. Here is a great way to introduce young readers to the magic of comics.
