Transformers and Action Force

Marvel U.K. ran an Action Force and Transformers crossover story called Ancient Relics in 1987.
Written by Simon Furman and drawn by Geoff Senior part 1 featured in Transformers 125 with the other four parts featuring in Action Force 24-27. For any Americans out there, Action Force was the U.K. name for G.I. Joe back in the day.

It featured a Marvel UK created character called Centurion...

And some great scenes such as Megatron throwing around puny human tanks...

and a Grimlock vs Megatron rumble.

Most issues of Action Force weekly also featured classic Transformer toy ads on the back cover.

X-MEN signed by Romita Jnr ?

I have a copy of Uncanny X-Men 196 that came as part of an ebay lot a couple of years ago. It is signed on the cover and page 1 "John Romita Jnr 85"

The seller made no mention of the comic being signed, which seems odd. I have checked against images of JRJR's signature online and for my money its the real deal.

So now i have a 95% genuine signed book by my favourite old school Marvel artist.
