Comic BomBom (コミックボンボン) was a long running Japanese boy's manga magazine published by Kodansha. The first issue was released in October 15, 1981, with the title finally retired in the December 2007 issue due to declining sales. The title was most famous for publishing promotional comics of various properties including the Gundam franchises, Super Mario Bros., Mega Man, and of course, Transformers.
Although its sister Kodansha publication TV Magazine would go on to be the "primary" Japanese publication covering the ongoing Transformers saga throughout Generation 1, Comic BomBom was actually running regular spreads on the series and toyline before it became a steady fixture in TV Magazine, even jumping the gun with a prose story that crafted a wild origin for the Transformers that would later be relegated to the realms of micro-continuity.
The beginning of the Beast Wars gave Comic BomBom time to truly shine, as regular comics for many of the Beast series were published in its pages.
