'''88MPH Studios''' was an independent comic book publisher that, through a partnership with [[Image Comics]], published the [[Genesis: The Art of Transformers]] coffee-table art-book.

Founded and apparently run single-handedly by Sébastien Clavet, the company's remit included "knowledge of pop culture".<ref>[https://tformers.com/transformers-the-making-of-genesis-88mph-studios-interview/668/news.html The making of Genesis - 88mph Studios Interview]</ref> To that end, 88MPH were quick to obtain the publishing rights from [[Hasbro]] for a ''Transformers'' artbook. Unfortunately, it soon became apparent that Clavet was woefully unprepared for running a publishing company on his own, as the resultant product was beset by delays, format changes, lack of payment for contributors, and lack of ''product'' for paying customers.

Undaunted, 88MPH subsequently obtained the comic book publishing rights to [[Ghostbusters]], where the resultant four-issue "monthly" mini-series instead staggered out over ''nine'' months. A promised hardcover trade paperback of the mini-series was then beset by a near-identical series of events to those of the ''Genesis'' debacle, with the book ultimately being canceled altogether, despite pre-orders being taken and not refunded.

Clavet initially communicated with concerned contributors and customers of both publications on various website forums regarding payment, but Clavet's continual deferrals regarding actually transferring any money, plus his habit of routinely deleting all of ''his own'' forum posts did little to assuage affected individuals. Clavet subsequently began ignoring all personal communication altogether.

Hasbro later initiated legal proceedings against 88MPH Studios and Clavet for their failure to fulfill their contractual obligations. On [[July 21]], [[2006]], 88MPH Studios filed a counterclaim against Hasbro, seeking damages for "wrongful doings and the non respect of multiple contractual terms in regards to a licensing agreement concerning the publication of Transformers related books."<ref>[http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/transformers-news-rumors/103447-press-release-88mph-studios-inc-suing-hasbro-inc.html archived post reporting news of the lawsuit at TFW2005]</ref>

==''Transformers'' publications==
*''Genesis: The Art of Transformers'' (in conjunction with Image Comics)

==Notes==
*The choice of name for 88MPH Studios may have come from some 1980s [[Back to the Future|film]] where that number was significant in some way.
