T.M. Cooks

"T.M. Cooks" was the colourist credited for the second part of "Robot Buster!", published in issue #60 of Marvel UK's Transformers comic. This story marked the production team's first mandated use of mechanical colour separation to colour the comic, a change from the beautiful painted colouring that had adorned the UK series strips up to that point, and the pseudonym, standing for "Too Many Cooks", was used to reflect the team's dissatisfaction with their first attempt at it.

The only other comic credit Marvel UK found it necessary to use the "T.M. Cooks" label for was the cover of Spider-Man and Zoids #47, alongside "Max Hands", itself a variation of the well-known "M. Hands", the pseudonym used by Marvel for situations that required multiple inkers.
