In 1996, Pat Lee and Roger Lee founded Dreamwave Productions
under the Image Comics imprint and published their first
miniseries, Darkminds, quickly making their manga-influenced
style their trademark, merging the look of an animated
film with sequential art. In 2002, Dreamwave splintered
off from Image and became a publishing company in their
own right following their attainment of the lisence to
the popular Hasbro toyline, Transformers. The first miniseries,
featuring art by Lee and writing by Chris Sarracini, based
on the classic Transformers "G1" characters,
was the top-selling book on the sales charts for it's
entire run. More series followed, expanding their G1 stories
to shape a brand new universe, covering the current toyline,
Transformers: Armada, and famed Transformers scibe Simon
Furman came on board to produce The War Within, a series
detailing prevously-undocumented aspects of the Transformers'
past.
