I am a huge transformers fan, own them all, have the T.V. series, but never read the comics. I'm not interested in owning the original comics, but am wondering if anyone knows of a graphic novel that contains them all? Or some other reprints that would allow me to read them without paying a collectors item price. Thanks! - Craig

Theres a series of books containing all of the comics, there are about 4 issues so far. I dont have one, Ive seen them in Barns & Noble and Booka a Million, but I havent gotten one. I would but my parents say "I need to read about somthing that goes on in the real world" Yeah, right.

I believe they have reprinted all 80 issues in trade paperback.

Just had a thread about the recent IDW collection of the original Marvel issues.

The bad news are that: 1. They're slowly going out of print meaning they can be pricey. 2. They omit issues that contain Marvel-owned characters (Spider-Man's appearance early on and Circuit Breaker) or skipping issues altogether.

Prior to IDW, Titans reprinted a good chunk of the Marvel issues as well.

You also could try to find all the Titan Transformers TPBs they reprint all the US material and include #3 (in which Spider-Man guest stared), and all of the Circut Breaker and Neo Knights issues as well. They reprint pretty much all of it.

You're best on finding them would probably be eBay though.
