Simon Christopher Francis Furman is a
His first published work appeared in 1984 in Fleetway's weekly comic, "
He has also used the pseudonym Chris Francis on occasion, most notable when editing Marvel UK's "Transformers" in order to keep his role separate from writing some of the stories.
Work
Furman's writing is notable for his use of pseudo-religion and lore as an underpinning theme to the Transformers mythology. He invented an origin story for the Transformers that involved an ancient struggle between the colossal godlike creator, Primus, and his counterpart, the colossal godlike destroyer,
Aside from the creation myth, mythological underpinnings can be found in several of his stories, such as the

"Furman-isms"
Long-time readers of Furman's work have noticed several recurring dialogue and action clichés, referred to as "Furman-isms." These include, but are not limited to:
* A character shouting "Got to..." (in an attempt to stave off a disaster) and then dying.
* Variants upon the phrase "Better to fight and die, rather than live with the knowledge that I ran!" (This Furman-ism showed up three times within the space of ten issues of the original "Transformers" series).
* Specific sound effects, such as "SHEEEEAK!" for injured characters, and two-letter onomonopeaic grunts to represent exertion (most notably seen in ).
* The phrase "It's over -- FINISHED!".
* Conversely, the phrase "It never ends, does it?"
* Upon receiving a power-up or improved form, the character proclaims to another "You won't believe the things I can do now!"
* Use of minor characters as dramatic cannon fodder, offing sometimes dozens of named characters in a single issue (most notably seen in the "Transformers: Generation 2" comics).
* A focus on a select group of Transformers, especially
* The phrase "Leastways, I think so."
* The phrase "cut and thrust".
* The phrase "surplus to requirements".
* Often Furman will depict his lead characters on the cusp of choosing a more disaffected, dispassionate path which can be inconsistent with their established persona.
* Similarly, his characters struggle to reconcile necessary, difficult decisions for the greater good against more myopic yet compassionate concerns. As with the "Better to fight and die" cliché, this often appears frequently within a short publishing time, often afflicting the very same character i.e. Optimus Prime.
* Whilst frequently, and perhaps too openly, struggling with such indecisions, it is normally left to a subordinate to show Furman's Autobot leaders the error of their ways and correct course of action. This idiosyncrasy is seemingly ubiquitous in all of Furman's figureheads including Optimus and Rodimus Prime, Emirate Xaaron, Grimlock, Springer and Roadhandler, among others.
* "Down to earth"--literally!
* "This little story has a sting in the tail!"
