Notes

  • Sales figures for 1979 indicated an average of 325,000 copies sold per issue.[1]
  • Chris Ryall, former president of IDW Publishing and co-writer of the 2016 ROM comic, attempted to get the publisher to do a compiled reprint of this volume, emulating what they had done before with the Transformers Classics TBPs, however, a series of legal complications prevented this from happening. Years later, in 2024, the comic was finally able to be reprinted thanks to a mutual agreement made between Hasbro (owner of Rom) and Marvel Comics.[2]
