The Transformers
Marvel · 1984–1991 · 80 issues
About the series
Launching in 1984 alongside the hit toy line and cartoon, Marvel's The Transformers comic quickly carved its own identity, weaving a darker, more complex saga of the Autobots and Decepticons stranded on Earth. Over 80 issues, writers like Bob Budiansky and Simon Furman, alongside artists such as José Delbo and Don Perlin, explored themes of war, identity, and survival, giving depth to iconic characters like Optimus Prime and Megatron. This series matters for establishing the Transformers' enduring comic-book mythology, distinct from its animated counterpart, and for its ambitious, long-form storytelling that shaped the franchise for decades.
