The Transformers #72

The cover of The Transformers #72 poses a provocative contradiction right up front: "The War Is Over — And The War Has Begun!" Andrew Wildman's cover art captures two massive Transformers locked in brutal combat, crashing through churning water against a city skyline, one green-and-purple combatant delivering a powerful strike to a hulking grey opponent. With Simon Furman writing and Wildman on interior art as well, this November 1990 issue promises the kind of large-scale mechanical conflict that made this Marvel run so compelling.
