All Hail Optimus!
Contents
[edit]This double-length anniversary issue contains two stories:
- "Once Upon a Time on Earth", the main 30-page story
- "New Worlds Order", a 10-page back-up strip
See individual articles for details.
Notes
[edit]Originally, the #50s were going to be the end of IDW "Season 2's" but James Roberts buckled and asked if he could start a story there instead, to benefit from a #50 sales bump. Barber liked the idea of doing that! [1]
