After 11 years... Hungarian TF Comics!

And not only that... they are reprints of the UK Titan Magazines! :)

Yeah it has been 11 years (since 1997) that Marvel has been cancelled here (due to some issue between Marvel and Semic). I tried in vain to appael at comic publishers to release the rest of G1, G2, or even DW...

Imagine my surprise then, when I saw a Movie Prime at the journalist! :)

Egmont Publishing did it, they usually publish children's books like Thomas the Tank Engine and Bob the Builder, or comics like Witch. Here is a link to their site, see Magazines for TFs! http://www.egmont.hu/home.php

Oddly, the comic only contains the UK exclusive material! So no Movie Prequel or BW Gathering, just the Simon/Geoff first story and the poster, OP profile and Ratchet vs. Barricade page.

Translation is surprisingly good, some minor errors only. Naturally, I wrote to them at once, offering my services at translating names and TF technobabble if the need arises, and asking them whether they plan to release IDW material too...

Btw, anyone knows what was the free gift with issue #2? These keychains are great! 8)

I still cannot imagine how this slipped by everyone - we have mailed pretty much all the major comic publishers here. I guess Shockwave did it... :ididit:
