Talk:The Transformers (issue)

Y'know, that cover art definitely looks like it was done by Bill Sienkiewicz, not Frank Springer. Should we list credits for cover artist? Or am I mistaken about who did the art? JW 13:37, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

It is absolutely a Sienkiewicz cover. I'll add a cover credit. --Steve-o 03:26, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

I see Blackrock removed the cover credit . . . I would say that when the cover artist is different from the interior artist for a comic, the cover artist should get a credit on the page for the comic book, not just on the page for the image. Discussion? JW 16:02, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, I think the cover artist should get credit, and I'm not sure why they're being removed, despite being credited elsewhere. --ItsWalky 18:56, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

I'm not sure that my adding the UK cover credits below the US cover credit is the best solution, but I wanted to get them in there. Anyone have any better ideas? --Monzo 12:11, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

I think the standard on other pages where a small UK section of the bottom of the article listing such things as providing space for UK cover images to be posted, and details about covers, changes and letter pages (see Totaled! for a good example) seems to be best option Cyc 22:59, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

Release Date

If it was released on May 29, 1984, how come the first Usenet review is from May 22? JW 20:33, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

If you check out the United States Copyright Office website, the publication dates of most Transformers comics can be found with a little searching. The first four issues are listed with publication dates of:

• #1 - May 8, 1984
• #2 - Jul 10, 1984
• #3 - Sep 11, 1984
• #4 - Nov 13, 1984

As can be seen, they're consistently four months away from their cover dates. The last two dates are contradicted by the intended publication dates as listed in Marvel Age, but the listed publication date of #1 on the Copyrights website is quite definitively well before that first online review. -- Jon T 21:38, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
