Transformation 259: Carry on Screaming.

27/4/2017

This week: The never before told (honest, forget issue 150) origin of the Transformers!

Plus, Geoff Senior is here to chew bubblegum and show the Americans how it's done. And he's all out of bubblegum.

Meanwhile, Silverbolt barges his way past Jazz to take centre-stage in a story Furman doesn't know how to end.

All this and pancakes in my look at ISSUE 259!

Is it not possible that, with both Furman and Senior working together again, they quietly dropped working the 'Marvel' way and simply went back to doing it full-script?

Possibly, though with Furman at least keen to break America (I'm not sure when Geoff Senior became disillusioned with comics) he'd probably have had the discipline to keep to the method he'd be expecting to use on all future work. Plus Senior is probably the artist he'd trust above all to work that way.

IIRC (it's not to hand) the script for the final issue is "Marvel" way, so he didn't switch techniques with Wildman.

All this assumes the editor wouldn't care either way. Presumably they'd not want something that couldn't be easily handed to another artist quickly if they needed a fill in due to illness or whatever.

Come to that, it's more than likely Furman wasn't sure Delbo wouldn't be drawing this when he wrote it, even if he was pushing for home talent.

IIRC the sticker was just the current TF logo!

SPECIAL TEAMS!

Well that's...underwhelming.

The sticker bore the message "Caution - Transformers live here!" Presumably to be stuck on kids' bedroom doors or toyboxes or whatever.

I seem to recall it was just soft plastic for pressing onto a flat surface rather than an actual adhesive. It was thus easy to remove later on.
