The Transformers #3

The penultimate chapter of Marvel's original four-issue Transformers limited series arrives with a cover by Mark Texeira that's hard to ignore — a towering Decepticon looms over the scene, massive fusion cannon raised, while a agile, dark-costumed Spider-Man leaps across the giant robot's body amid a crowd of Decepticon warriors assembled on the ground below. The "Guest-Starring Spider-Man" banner makes the crossover appeal unmistakable, blending Marvel's web-slinger with the Robots in Disguise in a way that felt genuinely fresh in 1985. Inside, the creative team of writer Jim Salicrup and artist Frank Springer continue the story titled "Prisoner of War!" — promising plenty of action to match that striking cover.
