Unpublished Simon Furman Comic Scripts - For Sale

The wonderfully talented Simon Furman has shared with the world the fate of an unpublished Transformers Beast Wars comic on Simonfurman.wordpress.com. This series, which was written during the collapse of Dreamwave Publications, was a story that would interweave Beast Wars - The Animated series and the one-shot comic Summer Special. The Transformers Summer Special was produced in the summer of 2004 and featured stories from Generation 1, Energon, Robots in Disguise, and Beast Wars. The latter two were put to a vote by fans, and the winner (Beast Wars) was to be the next Transformers comic series. The Summer Special was to be an annual mini-series, but due to Dreamwave's bankruptcy only one issue was published. The financial troubles of Dreamwave put Furman in a position to salvage a half written story and put his own spin on it.

Simon Furman wrote:I tapped a bunch of characters that had never made it into the show, including a kind of cool bad guy called Magmatron, and set about entwining two story threads, that would serve to pull the core TV show characters back to Earth (and pick up Rattrap’s ‘dream’ from the Summer Special), and kickstart a big new storyline that dealt with all the other Stasis Pod (and their protoforms) that had kind of got left behind on Earth. In the end, the first story arc was mapped out and two issues were written before $&^% really hit the fan and Dreamwave closed its doors. Don (Figueroa) even drew the whole first issue — and it looked great!

So Furman is now hitting the conventions, and shedding light on this lost piece of lore. All the Cool Stuff is helping to get the stories out to fans who cannot make it to the shows. The list of available, signed stories is below:

-Signed Script of Transformers: Beast Wars #1

-Signed Script of Transformers #80 (Marvel US)

-Signed Script of Transformers: Age of Wrath #4

-Signed Script of Transformers: Age of Wrath #5

Furman has posted the who and why's of these unpublished stories on his site which can be found by clicking here.
