Blast from the Past #307: unused story idea

This comes from the same sketchbook in which I found the material for the last "Blast from the Past" post, and I confess I have no memory at all of this idea. I do know that I never went forward with it.



Given that my memory of this thing is nonexistent, I was a bit perplexed by the first few lines:

"story idea for TMNT graphic novel #4

(to be used as an epilogue at end of book; juxtaposed against what happens in the beginning of the book, i.e. LEONARDO micro-series)"


After pondering it for a bit, I am left thinking that perhaps the graphic novel I was referring to here was one of the color reprints that First Comics published. I can't recall any other graphic novel projects proposed during that time, other than one which Kevin Eastman and I discussed at some length, featuring a story of the Turtles set something like twenty-five years in the future. But nothing came of that, either. -- PL

  2. Your ideation process is interesting to me because it's so different from many others I've seen. I like that you write cohesive thoughts in full sentences. It's certainly helpful when trying to decipher what your intentions were twenty five years later, and isn't just a jumbled mess of incomplete thoughts like you sometimes see in different "behind the scenes" type things. Plus we get nice little pictures to help illustrative the ideas!

    I'm sure you don't feel up to it at the moment, especially with the photo scanning project taking so much time but it would be interesting if you could arrange all of these things chronologically. Then you could turn them in to some kind of companion book to correspond with all the issues, it would be really cool to read them alongside the finished product, or in this case see the things that got scrapped along the way.

  3. Wow that would've been such a bad-ass story. I watched it unfold in my head as I read it. Great find!
