Andrew's old TMNT comics

Just came back from my parents' house for the first time in about seven months and they let me borrow back the TMNT scribbles I did as a kid. When I was about 10-12 I wrote a bunch of TMNT comics, then around 16 I wrote a few more (and those, actually, surprisingly, look pretty good even now... will post those later).

TMNT #0 (drawn when I was like 12, then touched up a bit when I was in junior high, the bubbles rewritten to make it a sequel to the movies)

TMNT #1 (also drawn when I was about 12, then touched up wayyy later in junior high, also with some added pages from around then... rewrote all the dialogue bubbles at that time too, mostly with the intent of making it a sequel to the movies, though now I kinda wish I hadn't)

Some later stuff, the same series but when I was older (junior high), from #8...




(when later the same year... 96 I think, I retouched it in Photoshop)









And from the comic that followed, that picked up a year or two afterward in a World Without Leonardo :

Bless how sweet the ones you did when you were 12 are!

Really cool, Andrew. They are really good.

Thanks for checking them out. They're mostly rubbish (aside from the very latest stuff there... I can draw better than that now, but not terribly better), but it's a fun time capsule for me to open.

I'll be posting up more stuff here as I scan them all before I need to return them to my parents :

Updated the links and re-uploaded the stuff. Eventually I'll scan the rest of my childhood comics... I know you've all been waiting in suspense.

[oldmanwinters]

That's a very good art style for being only twelve!

Man, you were a kid with violence on his mind! That's the sort of stuff that would get you sent to counseling these days if an over-sensitive teacher saw you drawing that stuff in school.

[traf]

Wow, those are awesome! I wish I could have drawn like that when I was in school (or now, actually), that would have been fun.

Your TMNT universe was pretty extreme; you actually had some interesting ideas there.
Maybe Nick will use these as the basis for their new show.

[twopinacoladas]

"Your next dude" lol turtles with machine guns mikey shooting shredder awesome. Nice stuff, I like looking at my old childhood drawings as well so nostalgic.

Heh, Raph riding a hoverboard in #16.

"Damn it to hell! I must escape." - Sounds like Stewie. I wonder if Brian would be his "Android Body"?

[ToTheNines]

Sanchez is a beast!

[Andrew NDB]

Still need to scan up some more. For fun.

Haha, yeah, I work as a sub teacher and if I saw that I would be very impressed yet compelled to tell someone of higher authority!

Seriously though, I had TMNT comics I used to make, too. It's really cool to see the progression of your stuff in this as well, Andrew.

I know I'd like to see more!

Am I alone in finding these ironic?

Nope, the thickness of the irony regarding Andrew's longstanding suppressed love of the Old Toon finally hit me like a Mutant Rhino running into a Mutant Warthog.

Cowabunga!

[Walkabout]

Epic lols

Cool comics though, seriously.

[Oculus Orbus]

Ha, they're awesome. It reminds me of the kind of comics I used to draw when I was that age! Keep them coming, man.

[the fixer]

That's just awesome, Andrew! Good stuff!

Your later work's pretty violent though! :p

[Andrew NDB]

OK, I'll try and make some time for more scanning. There's quite a few more, but they tend to be a lot of the same after a certain point... Shredder and Krang come back and start sh** with the Technodrome and are defeated, usually killed, but then come back in the next one.

Oh, man, that would be a perfect formula for an Adult Swim version of the Fred Wolf cartoon!
