Lost Italian TMNT comic from 1995
Just saw this a moment ago. All the information (and the comic itself) is in this:
https://www.cjoint.com/doc/18_01/HAA...C3%A9duite.pdf I guess it was officially published in Italy in 1995? Appears to be TMNT Adventures-based?

That was certainly well drawn for a Fred Wolf tie-in. I'm a little confused about the status quo here though, there is no Shredder and the Foot Ninja appear to be human. Was there an ongoing story that explains this or did the comic just choose to ignore aspects of the show?
As for the added pages by Nortock Diab, what exactly do they imply? My best guess is that Krang realised he's part of a TV-show with zero plot and can't win due to a rigid status quo, therefore he had to migrate to a place where he could potentially score a victory. |

Check out the official thread in the Fan Works section, Hoss:
http://forums.thetechnodrome.com/showthread.php?t=59472 There's lots more where that came from, as it was never lost... so long as you read Italian kids' magazines.

I hesitated between posting it in the Fan section (due to the designing of basically a new book and the addition of new comic pages) or in the Comic section (the core story was officially published in 1995).

Cover and Frontispiece are set in the Mirage universe as implied by the screen displaying "Turtle Prime" on the epilogue page. |

This is an awesome find.
There's also that obscure Mexican TMNT comic that used Adventures as a base but apparently also did its own stories in their own art style |

Krang's appearance at the first page looks like something the Mirage comics could have if they used Krang.

That's literally the point. In fact, Nortock said that two posts above yours.

The Donnie we see is the Mirage Donnie (as on the cover). The Krang we see is the same as in the Italian story (the Italian Krang). Yet for the Frontispiece (and Epilogue), I wanted to make a contrast : he has the same overall shape (tentacles, eyes, smile...), yet is depicted in a more serious style (I do not dare to say Mirage style, it's too pretentious !). |

I found other scans from these italian comics (from Corrierino and Giornalino), maybe I can help translating them.
Anyway, I remember reading these magazines when I was a kid, sometimes the drawings could be really good, other quite bad...

You guys know I (....sometimes) release translated books. If someone's got scans of fun stuff and wants to translate, hit me up. I do the image work, edit English, etc.

Mark posted its review of the Italian story on TMNT Entity.
A big thanks goes to him! I'm really glad Assalto al Treno and more widely Italian stories from this period are gaining visibility. |

However, hit Adam up. He says he's got a treasure chest of the Spanish language Division Comics stuff and I know a lot of English speakers have wanted to see those scanlated for years (you've got a Spanish-reader on your team, right?). Quote:
