Tell Jim What You Want in The Allspark Almanac

Written by Big Bot on January 9, 2009 | Comics,IDW Publishing | Tags: , —

Jim Sorenson, who was partly responsible for the two brilliant “The Ark” volumes, wants some fan advice on his next book, Transformers: Animated The Allspark Almanac.

The 208 pages guide is being designed to be as comprehensive as possible. To achieve this, he wants to know what questions you would liked asked of the writers and producers of the show. Also, if things like sketches, unused concepts, music, storyboards are of interest, he would like to know.

So head over to Jim’s blog and speak your mind.

After revealing news of Transformers: Animated: The Allspark Almanac, Jim Sorenson has posted some updated details on the book.

The book will be 208 page (not 250 as Amazon states) and features more then black and white animation models. There will be full colour with “character biographies, episode summaries and more”, so expect lots of Animated goodness. To help make sure the book is the real deal, Marty Isenberg and Derrick Wyatt are assisting. The cover will be done by Marcello Matere.
