The Transformers #33

Marvel's The Transformers #33 (1987) serves up one of the more unexpected cover images in the series — a towering blue-and-red Autobot striding through a forest while medieval knights on horseback swirl around its feet, arrows flying through the air. Charles Vess's cover art makes the collision of ancient and futuristic feel genuinely thrilling, with Shakespeare himself peering out from a corner inset as if to signal this is no ordinary Cybertron adventure. With Steve Parkhouse writing and John Ridgway on interior art and inks, "Man of Iron" promises a story as inventive as its cover suggests.
