Starting in 1984, the British Transformers comic wasn't just a
successful toy advert, it taught a generation of British schoolboys
how to read through its exciting action packed pages. With sales
that vied with 2000AD writers Simon Furman and Bob Budiansky
created a generation of fan boys that have never looked back.
Stuart Webb was one such reader, and in 2012 he began a journey
looking through every single issue of the series, commenting on its
highs and lows. He became the first person to look at every backup
strip, every comedic cartoon and each editorial and how they worked
together to create the most thorough exploration of a publishing
phenomenon ever undertaken. It's also personal, full of humour and
silliness and even the occasionally thoughtful moment. The final
result is an essential read, for Transformers fans, and those
interested in the history of Marvel comics in the UK and the impact
this comic had on an entire generation.
