Notes

• Series artist Frank Springer had the unenviable task of drawing 62 new characters in this series. With 74 character models between them. Factoring in transformations that's... 132 pieces of reference art to juggle. There were occasional frequent times when a character was accidentally illustrated looking like someone else. Perfectly understandable! Slightly less understandable was why Fortress Maximus, the main character, would turn into someone else beween pannels on the same page. The recreational use of Benadryl has not been ruled out.

• Series colorist Nel Yomtov experienced a similar identical problem. The two combined can occasionally make Headmasters a mildly confusing read... but it's really not that bad.
