Blast from the Past #244: Pencils for cover of "TMNT Adventures" #40
Of the covers that I penciled for the Archie Comics-published "TMNT Adventures" book, this is one of my favorites.

That's actually how I learned what year Columbus "sailed the ocean blue". Sure, they told me the same thing years earlier in school, but it's so much easier to pay attention when Donatello is carrying a giant, stone year around on his shell.
ReplyDeleteThat picture reminds me of the newer Incredible Hulk Cover like that, which must be an homage to the one PL is talking about.
ReplyDeleteyeahhh

PS by 4th or 5th grade, I mean 15 or so years ago, haha.
ReplyDeleteI remember in 4th or 5th grace copying the drawing of Columbus for use in a book report about Christopher Columbus. So funny!
ReplyDeleteThanks for autographing this issue for me some years back in Philly!
-->> The Other helps weave a tail that for once cleared up ( at least for me ) many of the myths and very sad truths within' the history of this portion of North America .
ReplyDelete:(
I remember this. Was it really seventeen years ago? Ahh!
ReplyDeleteGood issue.
To me Donatello, looks like Atlas in this pose rather than Hulk. Atlas was a Greek god (mythology) punished by Zeus if I'm not mistaken, he was force to carry the world for eternity.
