Why does Donatello have a sword on his back on the cover of Mirage #1?
I feel like this question must have been answered many times before but I just spent a while googling it and didn't really find anything.
It looks like he has a bo in his hands and one sword in the scabbard on his back. Most future versions (not printings) of the cover have the sword removed. So I'm guessing it was just a mistake because I don't feel like it was present in any other drawing.

But after posing for the first cover, he decided that he'd exclusively use the bo?
Yeah, that fits.

Because swords are cool
The Turtle that would become Raphael also had a extra katana in the first group artwork. So it probably was a early idea with the Turtles carrying swords as well as signature weapons, or rather what would become the signature weapons to the Turtles we know. |

Yeah, I've seen that Raph had one in the first group drawing and that Mikey had his nunchakus (at least one of them) strapped to his arm in the first two drawings.
I'm just surprised that on the cover to the most famous issue, Donatello has a sword and then never has one again. And that no one mentions it ever.
