The Transformers #55
In "I, Robot-Master!, Part 1," a desperate comic-book writer named Donny Finkleberg is thrust into a role he never asked for—posing as the mysterious Robot-Master to manipulate the Transformers. Written by Bob Budiansky and illustrated by Don Perlin, with inks by Keith Williams and colors by Nel Yomtov, this 1986 Marvel UK issue sees Finkleberg’s scheme unravel when he’s captured by Megatron and the Decepticons. The cover, by Herb Trimpe, captures the moment’s tension with sharp, dynamic lines.
