It is a little-known fact that, despite the 80s cartoon being the most recognizable bit of Transformers media, the Marvel comic actually came first. One of the twin titans of the comic-book industry, Marvel published to date the longest run of consecutive Transformer comics, from 1984-1990, and picked up again for a year of "Generation 2" in 1992. Marvel's run is generally considered to have reached a high point with Simon Furman's run on the last 1/3 of the US series, and a low point the story arcs roughly between issues #20 and #40, which pushed suspension of disbelief to a new height ("Carwash of Doom" is the most oft-cited example). Still, the Marvel issues provide a major topic of conversation for the Transfan.
