How did you discover TF comics in the 80s?

I didnt know about TF comics in the 80's :(

however my first TF comic reading was of the G2 comics in the late 90's i found about 6 or 7 of them in the back issue section and grabbed the lot.
I very much liked the styling of the G2 comics and even made a 13th issue cover for one my YR.11 art projects :D

I found them in my local newsagent and then played hit and miss as they would not get them all in.

Same. Except it was newagents in Singapore.
I remember they being very big on the UK issues though. I still have a complete run of Space Pirates and Time Wars in the UK large format from the 80s. yay!

I spent some time thinking which was the first TF comic I ever picked up and I can't quite remember. Not sure if you guys remember your first ever.

I used to ride to different towns on the Peninsula to hunt for comics the way we hunt for Tf's nowadays. Wasn't just newsagents back then either. Had to check all the milk bars and general stores.
Great times, great times. :)





F#@% I'm old.:(

I first discovered transformers comics at the local news agency down the road, then later on a friend introduced me to Quality Comics in Perth.:D:D

F#@% I'm old.:([/QUOTE] Aren't we all, but were all adults and who is going to tell us off now for buying toys.....

My first issue was US #23 with the Battlechargers vandalising American monuments.
The issue immediately afterwards was a bit of a downer.....

ahhhh, one of my all-time favourite issues

A friend of mine gave me the Skids and Charlene issue.
The internal conflict was interesting and I liked the idea of pacifist autobots being forced to fight when they all they wanted to do was blend in.

Street corner kiosks or newsagencies - Anywhere where they sold newspapers.

Back then comics were much more acceccible - Now its a little to exclusive and you need to go to a specialist shop to find one making it lame as not everyone will travel to the far away Comic shop to get one.
