The Transformers #38

From Marvel's 1988 run of The Transformers, issue #38 — "Trial by Fire!" — drops readers into a tense, large-scale confrontation set across a rocky, cavernous landscape. The cover, penciled by Frank Springer and inked by Dave Hunt, places a massive, gun-wielding Decepticon front and center while two human figures scramble nearby, caught between towering mechanical combatants exchanging energy blasts in the background. With Bob Budiansky writing and José Delbo on interior art, this mid-series chapter promises the kind of all-out chaos the title delivered so reliably throughout 1988.
