From TMNT vol. 4 #11:

"The revived Tales of the TMNT comic is on schedule for startup next January. Steve Murphy just showed me some really neat art by Chris Allen for one of those issues..."

WOW! is this Chris Allen from the TMNT: Adventures comic? His art was very nice (very soft spot for it, as that was my TMNT literature when I was younger.

I hope so, he was always my favorite TMNT artist.

I don't recall him doing any Mirage stuff before, I'm sure it will be interesting.

I don't think he ever did, all I ever saw from him was his work in TMNTA and the three-issue Ninjara story that appeared in Furrlough. He's an awesome artist, even if he didn't do any Mirage stuff.

Cuz as well all know, just because someone didn't draw the TMNT for Mirage doesn't mean they're not good. :P

Have I ever said I think otherwise? Archie had some very good art towards the end.

Yeah the art AND the writing were getting really good over time... that's why the abrupt ending saddened me. :(

(and I was just pokin' at ya big guy :) )

Yeah... The last stories in the Archie series had some pretty mature elements, it was a lot better than the kiddie comic it started as.

the abrupt ending was VERY sudden...and sad :(

so even if his art coming soon isnt based off of the TMNT:A characters, seeing him draw the turtles again will be so nice :)

well now we dont know if chris allen and chris allan are the same person...

but, on topic, yes, the Forever War looked AWESOME, and it could easily have been THE ending for the series. If this IS the same Chris Allan/Allen, then he'll be back in the game, and perhaps fan mail could reach him about possibly actually doing a one shot project or at least answer the question about what it was...unless Archie owns those rights.

here we go, from Dan Berger:

"Howdy Jason,

> Many of us fans are asking, is this Chris Allan (notice the
> spellings), who worked on most of the TMNT: Adventures comic from
> Archie Comics?

Yes it is - it was just a typo. :)

Thanks for writing!

Cheers!

I wonder how his non-cartoony TMNT will look like.

maybe it WILL look cartoony, but just not as cartoony. He had a certain style to the turtles, I hope it stays.

Allen's Mirage TMNT might look something like that.

Man, those are some cool images! I'm anxious to see what they do with Tales of the TMNT utalizing his artwork.
