Very excited about these new acquisitions. Copies of Transformers UK #79 and #80 (parts one and two of Target: 2006) signed by Simon Furman.







As a Christmas present in 1986, I was given two Transformers comic books. Issues 79 and issue 80. They were my first ever comic books and I loved them. I was hooked instantly.

The stories in the TF comics, and continuing them in my proto-fanfic, are what kept me interested in Transformers through my adolescence and are the reason I never left the hobby.

So when I checked out that recent ebay auction for Beast Wars scripts, and had a look at other items Simon Furman was selling, I could not resist getting these. Copies of the two most important comics I've ever had, signed by the writer responsible?

I didn't have to outbid too many people, and I'm glad Sky Shadow chose other issues to bid on.

My new copies and my originals:
