*Marvel: I suspect the love ’em or loathe ’em tendency with Transformers depends on your age. If you grew up with them in the 1980s, I’m sure you’re fondly remembering and maybe even collecting them today. What better place to start then than their first comic appearance in Transformers #1 from Marvel May 1984, a few months before the UK sister title got underway in September. Originally intended as a four part mini-series, it was such a hit that it spawned an 80 issue series in the US. This debut issue is a lovely VF+, tight and flat, glossy and sharp, with just a very thin soft crease at the top right corner stopping a higher grade.
