Okay guys, this it it! Only from TMUK at the Forge at TF Nation , a 32 page A4 full colour comic fanzine! Featuring classic stories from Transformers: Mosaic and Bots of Honour, painstakingly remastered. All proceeds go to Mary's Meals (not taking a penny for printing!)  Special thanks to Turnbull for assistance with art and harassing me over my lettering. When I say remastered, I MEAN it. We've gone through as much of the original material as possible to get it print ready. Some strips like the below, have been completely recoloured.  There were also some stories which only existed as web resolution and the artists couldn't find the original files. Many of those too have been painstakingly upscaled  (The forum squashes this one, take a look at the full size version to see the impact! i.imgur.com/m4QQCTP.png ) I expect everyone here to pick up a copy, no excuses! For those not attending, I'll put up info on how to get copies later. For there is one more zine I want to get finished first... |

Andy has been a bit of a hero on this one. He came up with the title, the cover and back artwork, and harried me like the hounds of hell to get it finished and all my lettering up to scratch! |

I am an absolute snob with lettering now.
I've lost count of the amount of small press comics and fancomics I bought and can't read as the lettering is so bad.
While I wouldn't say mine is anywhere near pro - I try to make it as close to as possible and there are enough resources out there that there is really no excuse.
Also - artists not leaving space for letters or drawing the first person speaking on the far right - argh!!!!!

Also to be fair I didn't come up with cover art so much as steal from already existing work - but it's a good fit!
