Description

Ok...bear with me here. This is old. Maelstrom is a fanzine I started working on in a fury the day after "The Return of Optimus Prime" aired in 1987 (?). Whatever day that was.

Ok...so...87 was the year I graduated high school...

Oh my - it's not old...it's ancient...and that makes me... Oy.
Anyway, these are scans of the actual books. They were made to be xeroxed...not viewed on the web. There was barely a web when I started, and TF fans were a rare, rare thing. Still, I had over 100 readers at the time, which was really good in those days. (Wheezes like Kup.)

My art style has changed, the story is all text now, but decades later I am still writing. I'd love to post my more mature stories online, but none of it will make sense without the comics...so. Here goes nothing.

Oh...speaking of mature. I am putting an adult content label on this stuff. The first 3 issues were pretty tame (sort of the prologue actually...tied in with the cartoon) but things get dark fast. I have literally given readers nightmares, and certainly the themes are way past what the cartoon ever dealt with. Rather than start everyone off, and then start blocking people, I am labeling these for adults from the start, even though this book is not overtly graphic.

The art and story are mine. The characters are Hasbro's.
