Blast from the Past #236: Steve Bissette pencils for "Turtle Soup" cover

I can't recall precisely when this single issue of "Turtle Soup" -- an anthology of TMNT stories by a varied group of creators -- was published, but I suspect it was during that fertile period of the late 1980's.



We managed to convince Steve Bissette of "Swamp Thing" fame to pencil the cover for the book, and he turned in this typically awesome and Bissettian masterpiece. I had the pleasure of inking it, and I believe Kevin applied the colors for the finished piece which was printed. -- PL

"Leatherhead" by Steve Bissette

Here's the other cool piece I found while cleaning up my office yesterday -- a drawing of the character "Leatherhead" by the master of scaled and scuted creatures, Steve Bissette. I'm not sure if this was ever printed anywhere. -- PL
