Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Magazine

[Original TMNT Cartoon Fan]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teenage_Mutant_Ninja_Turtles_(1987_TV_series)#Maga zine says there was a TMNT comic named "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Magazine". I would like to see some pictures or hear something about the stories.

[Jon]

There was a TMNT Magazine some years ago (early 90s) in the US. As well as a recent one in the UK. Both had comic stories in them.

[odupianist]

I think Rose has copies of all of them. At least she's posted pics of the covers of most of them.

[Canadian Turtle]

Actually there is a pretty cool blog on the magazine run in that x-entertainment site. http://www.x-entertainment.com/articles/0967/

I would love to get my hands on one!

If you mean the UK Hero Turtles comics, they are discussed here: http://forums.thetechnodrome.com/showthread.php?t=24769.

No, not those. The UK recently had a Magazine, based off Fast Forward. With a TMNT (New Movie) Prequal comic reprint, and a new Fast Forward comic.

[PAAATE]

Those recent UK-comics have been published here in Sweden too

Though I never bought them

[Ninjinister]

I got my letter published in an issue. I can't recall which one, but I think it might have been October of... 1992, I want to say... Don't quote me on that.

Here in Sweden? Which year? Are they still published here?

Though don't know how far along it is for you, basically the UK's recent TMNT Magazine has come to an end (think someone had mentioned of it in a post about the Magazine, quite some time ago).

I think there were cover images in a post (for maybe a couple issues), but otherwise not sure.

[PAAATE]

Yes, here in Sweden :P

Umm.. I think they began publishing last year, but it could have been this year..

And I have no idea if they're still published, but since the Swedish comic market basically copies the UK comic market, I don't think they will continue for long anyway... If they're still published, that is...

Uhhh... I don't know but my guess would be Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

Like I said, I haven't bought an issue and I haven't even spent much time looking at one.

[Original TMNT Cartoon Fan]

Where are those pictures?

[oldmanwinters]

I just picked up seven copies of TMNT Magzine (USA by Welsh Publishing Group) at my local comic store today for free! They were just setting in the floor next to the check out counter, so I inquired and the guy just let me have them! They are all pretty worn-out looking, but I'm really happy to be able to score these issues. Hopefully I'll have time to post some scans of the story art later (if anyone still wants to see that, of course).:)

[Venom]

Lawson did all of the art in those stories, and Dooney did all the posters. His Shredder one flanked in flames is my fave. Also the Turtles meeting Garfield in that issue was pretty awesome!

I still have all of my issues in my room. I remember trying to color on Guerilla Gorilla with a light red marker -_-.

I also wanted to color in my mini comic from when I joined the Turtle Force Fan Club. x_x

[Oculus Orbus]

I have the first issue of the recent UK magazine, and it came with a small skateboard, wich I thought was pretty cool. I haven't got it on hand right now, but I remember it being half Fast Forward comics, and half articles about the 2007 movie, more or less.

It is the typical kids magazine.

[discordiatookie]

Since someone asked, here's pics of the UK magazines.

First up is the one that coincided with the 2K3 toon. Complete suckage - the comic strips within are just stills of the toon. The rest is fact pages, puzzles, posters, fan art, competitions, etc. All aimed at kids, which is fair enough. I stopped collecting these at issue 7, as it was fairly crap.
http://i201.photobucket.com/albums/aa15/discordiatookie/PICT0355.jpg


Then there's the mag that came out to go with the TMNT movie. Actually pretty good, mosta the same as the last series of magazines, (puzzles, fact pages, ect) but with two very decent comic strips - a Fast Forward one (exclusive to this magazine, I believe) and colour versions of various mirage comics - mainly the TMNT movie prequels and a Leatherhead/young TMNT Tales adventure (can't remember which issue. Cancelled at issue 13, which is ashame.

Man, I'd love to have some copies of the TMNT movie prequel comics in color!

Also, here is the cover to the Fall 1990 issue of the US TMNT Magazine (Issue #2):

That Mikey head with the googly eyes is weird.

I'm still looking for those magazines that coincided with the 2K3 toon: I only have #1 and #13.

Fall 1990, Winter 1991, Fall 1991, Summer 1992, Spring 1993 (3rd Movie "Collector's Edition" with lenticular back & cover), and Summer 1993. If you could fill in the gaps, I'd appreciate it!

I believe the magazine called him "Guerrilla Gorilla." I'm not sure if they are the same character or not.

In this issue, the TMNT must save Master Splinter from becoming a dish of ratatouille for the fowl bird, Nocturno! I wonder if he is inspired by Ryan Brown's "Owl" character from "The Uncanny Trio" (http://tmntentity.blogspot.com/2009/01/tmnt-adventures-27.html)? [EDIT: I guess so (http://www.mikeystmnt.com/?tag=tmnt-adventures).]

[Samhain]

Does anyone know who did the covers? Looks like Michael Dooney to me but not too sure.

Were these magazines part of the Archie series or just adventures for generic (any) Turtles but likely the cartoon ones?

[oldmanwinters]

For the most part, the Turtles stories within these magazines appear to be a unique universe. They are often alternative takes on Archie TMNT Adventures stories since Steve Murphy and Ryan Brown usually wrote plots and scripts and Jim Lawson did the pencils for the comics.

[CyberCubed]

How much money do these generally go for now? If I wanted to buy some online, are these rare?

[Buffy]

Cool, Buffy! I've already scanned the covers of the issues I own:

I'd love to help, no problem. The thing though: the magazines are at my parents house so I won't be able to scan them untill Wednesday.

I love your original artwork from the Spring 1991 cover Roseangelo!

[Samhain]

Yes, Dooney did all of them (with the exception of a movie 3 photo cover).

Ah! Thought so. Love Dooney, draws a great turtle.

[***First of Two Latin Kings***]

Dooney's take on some of the non-turtle characters is VERY interesting. I only had one issue of this magazine but it fell apart.

[oldmanwinters]

Well I'm glad to scan the only issue I have...
PICTURE REFERENCED

Thanks, Powder! I believe the Fall 1991 issue (the one with Don riding the dinosaur) is a follow up to the comic adventure in this book, since the Turtles are still hanging with Jagwar and trying to save the dinos from forest devastation (ala, true Dean Clarrain style!).

I blacked out the address of the last person to own it, since I picked it up used. I figured "Ms Lisa Vancleave" might appreciate that. :-) If anybody has a clearer cover unobscurred by the subscription address, then feel free to contribute!

Wish we got scans of a whole issue.

There should be a thread for that.:lol:

I've considered it, but I'm guessing that would be against forum rules. Maybe I'll ask Krang.

EDIT:
I'm guessing it would be ok to post some comic crops for your enjoyment though!

Interesting, they do seem to be alternative takes on Archie stories. I like the different artwork and Jim Lawson's old Archie art is interesting.

[sdp]

Well by scanning them we're basically archiving something that will NEVER be re-released. Its not like we're posting episodes which can be bought on DVD and some company might want to have remove since its something recent. Heck I doubt the company that did it remembers or is even still in business today.

It's still illegal. And full scans are against forum rules, so it would solely be Krang's call since this is his forum.

[Kendamu]

If Krang doesn't want all this vile criminal activity going on in the forum, just upload it elsewhere and we can PM you for the URL.

[sdp]

The audio for Turtles Forever was posted on the forums.

There was no shades of grey on that one it was clearly illegal and it was allowed.

not to mention just three or four threads below this one there is a thread with a link with scans to pretty much most TMNT, DC and Marvel comics...

[Roseangelo]

No, it wasn't.

not to mention just three or four threads below this one there is a thread with a link with scans to pretty much most TMNT, DC and Marvel comics...

Yeah, I would have probably deleted that after it was confirmed as not legal, but not my call.

[oldmanwinters]

I haven't checked with Krang yet, but I won't post any full story scans here without approval. As it is, the precedent suggests it would be a negative answer.

But as I already said, if you check my flickr stream, you might find something you like. Just sayin.' ;)

[Spitfire]

For something to be illegal someone needs to care. No one cares about old magazines that barely anyone has heard of. I highly doubt Viacom even knows TMNT had a magazine and they're the ones who would be raising a fuss.Since they stand to make zero money off the fact that TMNT had a magazine even if they did know it wouldn't be worth their time to do anything. I'm sure someone has them scanned somewhere. You can torrent almost the entire comic run.

[Roseangelo]

For something to be illegal someone needs to care.

No. For something to be illegal, it simply needs to be against written law. That someone does or does not care does not matter. While it may be unlikely for someone to care enough to prosecute, that does not remove the liability one could face if the copyright holder wanted to prosecute, which they would have every right to do. In the context of these forums, it is Krang who would be held responsible. Thus, it is his call what he does and doesn't want here.

[Archon_Turtle]

In the context of these forums, it is Krang who would be held responsible.

Do you know this to be true or are you just guessing? Not calling you out, you just happened to be the one to bring it up. After reading this I went searching for a court case because I was simply interested. Has a forum administrator ever been tried/convicted in the united states for the content of their forum? I think its a fascinating question.

[sdp]

oh come on, first of all yeah lots of things are "illegal", in fact using "the technodrome" as a name is very likely to be illegal but very rarely does any company go out against fan websites. Same thing with images, unless you own them technically all the image cap threads are also illegal. Your website Ninja Pizza is highly illegal. But fact is no one cares about old magazines or some old TMNT cassette tape from your childhood. In most cases a lot of those companies don't even exist anymore. We're are archiving something that will be lost forever in time, I mean if there was a way to legally download the magazine then I'd be all over it but realistically that is never going to happen. They'd only care if the magazine was recent and the full scans rule was put for the comics which even though there are no trades for them there could (have) eventually be. Of course there won't be any trouble over something like this, if they cared they first would go after all the episodes uploaded on youtube.

Worst case scenario they are not going to take the technodrome offline they would email krang a cease and desist and would have to remove said content and thats the end of it. And yeah the audio for Turtles Forever was posted here which is actually more relevant to an illegal/legal discussion, maybe a direct link to the mp3 wasn't posted but to the blogpost or website was, how else would I know what "ninja pizza" was to download the mp3?

heck all the commercials we're posting in the toy thread are also illegaly uploaded I guess we should close that thread too. Uploading comics/episodes is a big no-no and even though I doubt anyone would notice/care (rangerboard does this for power rangers and is a much more popular site and the most popular power rangers site), but you can understand krang not wanting to post them here as there could possibly be some cease and desist.

[Floatingyeti]

spd raises some very good points and for the most part I agree. I think it would be best when posting about this subject to not say: "you cant because its illegal" but to say: "you cant because the moderators of this forum are against it"

I think we could all accept that line of reasoning over peoples vague ideas of whats acceptable.

I've actually been wanting to share some tmnt magazine and uk stories from tmht. Is it all right to post links to our flickr accounts?

[oldmanwinters]

I'd don't really know the specifics, but I'd sure like to see them.:)

I love that foreign Turtles stuff!

[discordiatookie]

I've asked Krang over in the Questions/Comments/Suggestions thread what he thinks of it all, ie if we are allowed to post up such scans, etc.

[Roseangelo]

For crying out loud, people. This is ALL that I've been saying, and if you would have just gone and asked Krang then this issue would have been resolved without the whining days ago.

It's still illegal. And full scans are against forum rules, so it would solely be Krang's call since this is his forum.

And if that's too much to handle, Goongasnootch has your answer.

If Krang doesn't want all this vile criminal activity going on in the forum, just upload it elsewhere and we can PM you for the URL.

And yes, it's the website that gets in trouble, not the individual user on the website. Google doesn't have a system for copyright owners to have their content removed from YouTube to protect the person who uploaded it. They do that to protect themselves, and their laywers are still hella busy.

[sdp]

The point is if you hadn't started your little debate scans of the magazine could have been put on the forum and no one would even care or realize it.

Its hypocritical since you are not only not a moderator but you post similar "illegal" stuff on your blog which you've linked here plenty of times. Its obvious the moderators don't give a crap most of the time regardless. Now we have to wait on Krang to decide whether or not from a topic that looks very sketchy and not worded properly.

Fact is the technodrome would not get in trouble, no one would would really give a **** and tons of fan sites have similar full scans of forgotten comics of franchises with no cease and desist letters coming to the site.

And no, if something that is actually illegal would be posted the site would not be be held responsible, its in the user agreement of the forums and its happened plenty of times, all the website has to do is remove said content, if they are to actually do something they do it to the user not the site.

[oldmanwinters]

The point is if you hadn't started your little debate scans of the magazine could have been put on the forum and no one would even care or realize it.

In all due fairness to Rose, nothing is her fault. The decision not to post full scans on the mags here was my decision based on forum precedent and from consulting Krang about a related subject a few years back.

Anyway, this thread is getting too negative, so maybe a new cover scan will cheer up the mood:

This is the cover to the Spring 1993 issue of TMNT Magazine (#12). I believe there were two cover variants of this issue. One featuring the movie poster image of the four turtles on a four horses, and this "Special Collector's Edition" featuring lenticular images on the front and back covers.

This issue doesn't feature a comic adventure, just information on the third live-action Turtles movie.

Best magazine and magazine cover, ever!

Now the animation error in the OT will make sense as we truly see mike really will wield swords! Anyone know what I'm talkin bout? Lol...

Well if anyone wants to scan the magazines in I don't mind hosting them on my flickr acount with the catalogs I put up.

I posted a reply about the scans in the other thread. If anyone would like to continue that discussion, please do so there rather than in this thread.

Maybe for a while, but Krang or someone else would've noticed in time, and perhaps put a stop to it. Don't think you can blame Rose for that one


Now we have to wait on Krang to decide whether or not from a topic that looks very sketchy and not worded properly.


Perhaps I didn't word it correctly, but you and Powder came in afterwords and straightened things out. A look in here anyway woulda made him realise what it was about anyway. I seen people arguing in here over it and thought to myself: why has noone just asked Krang? So I took the incentive.

Anyhoo, what's it matter if its posted on the forum, or on someone's flickr account, or something similar? As long as its out there for everyone to read, I don't mind...

I like how Aprils Bikini is yellow :lol:, I think in the OT it was too.

Anyways Krang also mentioned it was ok to post the comic portion of the magazine as long as it wasn't the whole magazine.

[oldmanwinters]

As long as that's just a small portion of the magazine, it would be pretty much the same as a scan of a magazine article, so I think it would be ok to post them.

Well, then, it's game time!

And yes, it's the website that gets in trouble, not the individual user on the website. Google doesn't have a system for copyright owners to have their content removed from YouTube to protect the person who uploaded it. They do that to protect themselves, and their laywers are still hella busy.

Rose, I am not trying to argue with you but you may want to check these out... Things are changing in the online world concerning rights of website owners and members of those sites...

http://www.smh.com.au/technology/technology-news/model-forces-google-to-reveal-skank-bloggers-identity-20090819-epz0.html

and maybe this as well

http://www.cyberjournalist.net/news/004452.php

and this...

http://www.dailyherald.com/story/?id=325969

As you can see from the first article Google was sued into revealing the name of the anonymous blogger... Yes she was the owner of the site but she was also completely anonymous, where is the free speech with that? What about the other articles... Commenters names revealed??? Really?

Granted most of these are about comments and not piracy but in the grand scheme of things it is almost the same... Cases like these set precedents down the road for bloggers, commenters, even forum members to be held responsible for their own actions. So, personally I feel that Krang would not be liable but rather the person who uploaded whatever content it was... Now, do I want to get Krang or any other member here in trouble, nah... I think we should just post a snippet of the cover or something with a link to a flickr or other host... I have offered as well as Vaughn so really we should probably look into doing something like this if people really want to share some nice pics...

Dude, the topic has been resolved and is done with. Let it go. I'm not spending any time looking for references to cite to satisfy a person that I don't even know. I honestly don't care if no one here believes me, and if you haven't figured out by now that I don't make **** up, I don't care about that either.

[Archon_Turtle]

I miss civil debate. What ever happened to that? Curse you internets!!!!

[sdp]

Yeah lets get back on topic, the issue is resolved though searching through my posts I ended up reading a post Roseangelo posting scans of a magazine and when asked about copyright she said something along the lines of "who cares besides I doubt they care that I'm posting this" so yeah a bit hypocritical on her part...just sayin'


Regardless, do we know how long the TMNT Magazine lasted? I doubt it lasted for to long.

[oldmanwinters]

Regardless, do we know how long the TMNT Magazine lasted? I doubt it lasted for to long.

Judging by the publishing dates, it appears to have lasted from Summer 1990 to Summer 1993. It was a quarterly publishing the first issue in winter, the second in spring, the third in summer, and the fourth in fall. That's if I'm reading the cover dates correctly. A Grand total of thirteen issues. The third movie issue (Spring 1993) appears to have had two variant covers.

I had the one with the undead pirates. God, I haven't even thought about that in years. I'd forgotten what issue of the magazine I'd had; thanks for posting that and refreshing my memory.

[Buffy]

Here are the rest of the magazine covers:

Thanks buffy! Damn! I didn't realize there were so many! I thought there were like 7. I WAS gonna hunt each down on ebay, but now it seems as though it may be a tedious task! At least we can now admire nice large pictures of the covers :D

[oldmanwinters]

Thanks for doing this, Buffy! Also, Krang has given permission to post selected page scans, such as the comic adventures. If you have time and are willing to share, I'd love to see those too! I don't think I've ever seen the Winter 1992 issue, so that would be the one I'm most interested in. Who's "Motorhead?"

I might have some time this evening: I'll try to scan the comic pages in. It's fun to share. :)

Man, that's some pretty cool stuff. I'm on missions now to find these magazines (so far, i've found 5&7, on route to me now!) Also, the ever elusive Hero turtles mags are building up (i've now got the first 29 issues, bar one or two) - there's some great art and stories in there that weren't printed in the US. Although too long to scan for these here forums, I may stick up some pages when i've got more time.

Discordiatookie, I've always wanted to see some scans of the original stories from the Hero Turtles Magazines! I even started a thread for collecting information on them. If you ever decide to make some scans, please remember to PM me a link.:)

Will do! There's far too much pages to put it all up, but i'll get some up soon. Can't be bothered tonight, just off a twelve hour shift, and its getting quite late now. But soon! There's also some TMHT ads I was looking through tonight that I wouldn't mind getting up - I imagine some folk aint seen them!

[Buffy]

I sure do! :D Are you interested in the comics from the other magazines? I can scan some more.

Oh, yeah, I'd love to see them all! And what's that Garfield cameo about?

[Kendamu]

Oh, yeah, I'd love to see them all! And what's that Garfield cameo about?

It's been ages since I've seen it, but from what I remember Garfield, dressed as a Ninja Turtle, decides that he's Garfello (or something) and goes into the sewers to introduce himself to the other Turtles. In the process, he reveals his weapon to be a really nice and shiny pizza cutter. I can't remember if the Turtles were impressed or not or if anything else happened that didn't involve eating pizza and cracking jokes.

I remember the art style being much different than a normal Turtles Magazine comic. I'm guessing Jim Davis drew it all or something.

Hmm, I've got an issue of Garfield Magazine (Winter 1992) with that story printed in it. It was written by Jim Davis and drawn by Bary Barker and Larry Fentz. Laird did the inking on the TMNT and Steve Lavigne colored. I wonder if they ran it in both issues?

[Kendamu]

I really don't think so. It's really too bad. I was hoping I would be able to score a complete set of newspaper strips through GoComics, yet it appears it wasn't to be.:(

Ha ha. "Dean."


Ha! He's giving Peter Laird rabbit ears! For all that is sometimes said about his supposed tension with Laird, it is cool to see that they have/had a playful side as well.

[CyberCubed]

Dan Berger looks totally different now.

[oldmanwinters]

Hey, Buffy, I'm really interested in seeing the comic from the Summer 1990 issue. I read about that issue here (http://www.x-entertainment.com/articles/0967/)and apparently they end up fighting a "Lobsterdude"? Sounds interesting!

[oldmanwinters]

Thanks again, Buffy! That Lobsterdude is one crazy character! And is it just me or does Ray Fillet just appear randomly in this story? haha!

Here's "Riddle of the Rusty Scupper" (Summer 1993) in its full glory!

[BigApple3AM]

Thanks a ton for scanning these in dudes!

[Ninja_Shoe_Repair]

anyone know how many issues there were from start to finish? I scanned through this topic and didn't find anyone mentioning the exact number.

[Buffy]

If I'm not mistaken there are 13 issues.

[BigApple3AM]

I picked up the summer 93 issue on ebay for $2.50. The issue with the pirates. I gotta thank you guys for bringing it to my attention, I love that cover.

If you can get a better scan of the cover that what I've provided, I'd love to see you post it here or email it to Krang for the site's forthcoming cover archive! My copy was tattered and had someone's address on it that I had to black out.

[Ninja_Shoe_Repair]

I've been picking some up ebay too as I used to have them all but they got lost somewhere after college. I'm so picky though about the quality. I want all of mine in great shape with no mailing labels with no writing and poster in tact. That's not as easy as you'd think to get them all in this shape.

[wilddiverse]

Came across my few copies of this magazine tonight and was very pleased to find this thread and re-discover this forum. I always wanted to read the comics in the issues of the mag I never found and thanks to ya'll, that's now easily done.

Here's the Wildcat Blues comic from the Summer 1991 issue (I hope I did this right):

[wilddiverse]

If I did that wrong, let me know what to do to fix it. ;)

By my reckoning, all the covers are accessible through this thread (Spring 1991's as the original art!?). Very cool. Does anyone have the capability of sharing the comic out of the Spring 1991, Spring 1992, or Winter 1993 issues?

..how did the Warrior Dragon never get his own miniseries?!

Thanks for sharing! I'll post Spring 1991 tomorrow (I'm going to a concert this evening and won't be back untill very very late.)

[wilddiverse]

If it's not too much trouble and you have it handy, could you (or anyone) post the published cover of the Spring 1991 issue? Super thanks.

[Buffy]

No problemo. :) I'll try to scan it as soon as possible.

[Krang]

No problemo. :) I'll try to scan it as soon as possible.

When you do, would you be willing to contribute the scan to our image gallery (http://www.thetechnodrome.com/images/)? That cover is one of the three that we are currently missing (see this thread).

I'd be happy to help! I should have the other two covers as well: I'll scan those in too then.

Edit: How to I contribute? Do I just post the images in the given thread?

[Krang]

Great, thanks! And sure, you're welcome to post them in either that thread or this one, and I can get them from there and add them to the gallery.

I went wild (sic) with the magazine comics provided in this thread and a few scanned from the few copies I own-- straightened and cropped and resized them all to the best of my abilities, tweaked the color settings and put them all in a set on my flickr: http://www.flickr.com/photos/49309780@N06/sets/72157626135811150/

If for any reason someone's not okay with my use of their scanned pages for this, PM me and I'll remove them. And thanks again for sharing them in the first place.

I always liked these short form comics and thought it'd be nice to have them all available in one place. Enjoy!

Hello! Thanks to my recent eBay purchase, I would like to share for you some of the issues from this magazine (#1 has been posted somewhere). I hope it brings back some fond memories, along with some new excitement and fun for those who didn't have a chance to see these issues. I will start with issue #4 from Spring 1991.

Seems this magazine is mis-titled, it should be Jell-o Man and Wobbly Magazine, with special guests the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

Sheesh, that's a HUGE ad for Jell-o. I'm sure Bill Cosby was thrilled.

And there you have it, the fourth issue of this magazine. It really shows how in a pre-Internet world fans can follow their heroes and villains and still enjoy what's out there. I once had the Donatello poster from issue #2 hanging on my bedroom's closet door for many years (well into the Red Sky era). Too bad the coupons expired decades ago!

[Powder]

Reads "scans!"

Sees photographs of the pages.

Hmm. Something's not right here.

Thanks anyway.

[Foot Soldier Clang]

I love it :tlol:. It reminds me of a Gobots magazine I have somewhere. They should bring back Jell-o-Man!

[Jester]

I will say, Dooney's Sgt. Bananas looks awesome.

[oldmanwinters]

Thanks for being so willing to share, pannoni, but...

There's a thread for that! (http://forums.thetechnodrome.com/showthread.php?t=25150&highlight=magazine)

Can we get a Mod to merge?

EDIT: How messed up is it that this issue of TMNT Magazine apparently features more "Jell-O Man" content than TMNT-related content? Those silly "Special Advertising Sections" of yesteryear...

[Jester]

So wait, the guys clear cutting are doing it for land to graze McDonald's beef cattle? Is that why the villain has the Golden Arches on his tank top?

[pannoni1]

As far as the list of the pullout posters, I know the following:

Fall 1990: Donatello in front of moon
Winter 1991: Michelangelo on the streets?
Spring 1991: Leonardo (see above)
Summer 1991: Raphael in sewer
Fall 1991: Splinter on Rock
Winter 1992: Shredder (looks a lot like 2K3 version) on fire
Fall 1992: Raphael with Jack O'Lantern
Winter 1993: Donatello on arm of robotic creature (incorrectly states as Pullout #11 when it is actually #10).
Spring 1993: All four turtles in sewers
Summer 1993: Michelangelo floating in space above Earth

I'm guessing for the other two posters perhaps Spring 1992 was April and Summer 1992 was another Leonardo?

Remember, Jester, TMNT comics taught us that all corporations are evil, evil, EVIL. CEOs sit around twirling their mustaches and scheming of new ways to kill the environment.

Hmm... well, maybe it's not that much of stretch come to think about it. :tcool:

No, April never appeared on a poster (would have been cool to see a Dooney drawing of her though).

Spring 1992 was a Casey Jones (http://www.thetechnodrome.com/images/albums/TMNT_Magazine_Posters/Image008_RT.jpg) poster and Summer 1992 was Mikey meeting a dinosaur (http://www.thetechnodrome.com/images/albums/TMNT_Magazine_Posters/Image007.jpg).

Krang compiled a full gallery of covers (http://www.thetechnodrome.com/images/album/TMNT_Magazine_Covers)and posters (http://www.thetechnodrome.com/images/album/TMNT_Magazine_Posters) on the Main Site.

With space suit, I hope. I hate seing any living character being in space (or on a planet or asteroid without breahable atmosphere) without space suit.

[Original TMNT Cartoon Fan]

Nice, Buffy, looks like we've got all the comics accounted for!

Here's a little bonus, the story of April catching the "Phantom of the Pizza Parlor" from the Spring 1992 issue:

Are people sentenced to prison for stealing pizza cheese in the USA?

[***First of Two Latin Kings***]

I need to bump this for research purposes (and because this magazine was just so cool...)

[oldmanwinters]

Are people sentenced to prison for stealing pizza cheese in the USA?

The important thing is that we kids were taught to think that would be the case.

And it must have worked, because I've never even heard of any single instance of pizza cheese theft.

I would like to see all the covers of this magazine listed in sequential order (including any variants). The numerology of this series makes absolutely no sense to me. To confirm, there were only 13 different issues?

And I think the Secret of the Ooze issue was a special issue without a number or a date.

[oldmanwinters]

The One True Shredder (formerly known as DarthCJJ) hooked me up with a copy of the Summer 1991 issue and I found a bizarre sight in the video game preview section.

They advertised a prototype for the original Sonic the Hedgehog game:

But anybody who knows the game should be able to tell this a FAR different take on the Marble Garden Zone. I realize most games of the era would go through big changes in their development stages (just look at the screenshots on the back of the Super Mario Bros. 3 box art), but this was a neat little surprise to me.

Yeah that's interesting isn't it? I like it because Sonic and TMNT are my top two favorite franchises ever. :tcool: Does anyone know if in the TMNT Magazine Summer 1992 issue has any "board game" style section in it? For instance, there was a "board game" you could play in the original TMNT Magazine, where there any games or seek and finds in the Summer 1992 issue?

So that Warrior Dragon pre-dates the Archie one?

There is a word search and a treasure hunt in the Summer 1992 issue; you're lucky I saw this thread before I decided to make a lot on eBay with all of these I have left, because they'll probably go quickly when I do.

[oldmanwinters]

Does anyone know if the Secret of the Ooze magazine had any comics or not?

No, there wasn't any special comic in that one. It was mostly photographs from the film.

[Enscripture]

If you just want to see the cover+comic, I have them all scanned here. (https://www.mediafire.com/folder/kv15v8n7297eo/Scans) Since It's highly unlikely that this will be reprinted, I can scan the whole magazines eventually by request. I know I have like 2 fully scanned. The one's that say tmnt only or no ads are from my older scanner so I'll probably rescan those. They were from when I was just starting to learn photoshop so they aren't all perfect.

Hey guys! I've been perusing through this forum, as I have just purchased what I believe is the first issue of TMNT Magazine from the summer of 1990.

I appreciate all the cover scans I've seen from the replies here, but one thing I'm still a bit fuzzy on is the time frame and frequency of the issues. Did they go by seasons, bi-monthly or monthly? And when did the original magazine end? I want to say it was late 1993, but that's purely speculation. I ask this because I would love to collect these and talk about them on the show. Great stuff!

[Powder]

There are 13 core issues spanning Summer 1990-Summer 1993, with there being one issue per season.
