“The Curious Case of Mr. Jones” - Casey Jones is interrogated by "Men in Black" after he and Raphael battled an alien robot that crash landed on Earth. Will Casey reveal who Raphael is to the secret agents? How was the mechanical menace from the stars defeated? And just who are these men of mystery asking all of these questions? All this will be solved and more in Tales of the TMNT #42!

the cover art is really interesting, check it out here:

Yeah looks pretty cool, but is it just me or could this be the Mirage intro of the 2K3 series character Bishop, or someone very similar to him? Not that I don't mind, I think its pretty cool when there are parallels in the various TMNT universes...

I have always loved Dan Berger's "shouting character" images.
Tho in my book the best shouting character artist is Humberto Ramos ( Spectacular Spider-man, Revelations, Civil War Wolverine, X-men )

It would be awesome to see Mr. Ramos drawing an issue of Tales of TMNT.

Ah good old Dan I love seeing his artwork.

I really hate it when Lawson does an issue and someone else does the cover. It's so misleading...

I hate that with any comic book.
But this could be fun.

It's DARPA--I hope.

Maybe a reappearance of Braunze?

Braunze gets to pull the shell out of the fire again.

I hope we get DARPA as a credible threat. That one agent in Vol 2 who was after Baxter seemed pretty tough.

I am betting this thread is very, very old - but its what came up on a google search - and I was hoping someone could answer my question: who is that robot? They said it was based on a cartoon -- but I can't find anywhere that tells from what cartoon.

I only just recently bought the issue, along with a bunch of other old TMNT comics. So I hope bumping this thread up isn't too inconvenient. (It sink back down, eventually.)

It's based on Serling.

Thanks for the answer! Boy, I sure never would have guessed that (the gold coloring on the cover really doesn't make you think of Serling.
