The Transformers #48

This delightfully unexpected cover for The Transformers #48 sets a playful tone against a bold yellow background, pairing a happy, tongue-lolling dog trotting along with what appears to be a compact robot firing rocket boosters — the two connected by a spiraling leash the dog has clearly claimed as its own chew toy. Andrew Griffith's linework brings real charm and personality to the scene, balancing the mechanical precision of the rocket-powered bot with the irresistible scruffiness of its canine companion. It's a wonderfully lighthearted image that shows IDW's 2015 Transformers run had room for both "Conquerors" drama and a genuinely good sense of humor.
