Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Volume 4 #1

Mirage Studios

by Peter Laird and Jim Lawson

According to the promotional material, Peter Laird, who was the co-creator of the original TMNT series in 1984, is at it again. Peter appears to take the turtles back to the original characterizations of tough guys in New York. Gone are the unique color of the mask for each character. (Hey, the original was black and white! I think the TV guys came up with the "color ID" thing") Of course, this begs the burning question - Why do these guys need masks? In this issue, the turtles are mistaken for aliens. Yes, back to basics.

Here's a small press publisher that you may find interesting! Kenzner & Company whose website is at http://www.kenzerco.com/home.htm

This small press house is a publisher of cult favorite "Knights of the Dinner Table" Now, they are publishing a "Dungeons and Dragons" comic book! Apparently it's legal and authorized. All you D&D fans might want to check this one out. The cover art looks good. It's not in the "cartoon" style of "..Dinner Table", so don't be misled. The D&D comic book is published bi-monthly
