- Kevin Eastman

- Eric Talbot

- Micheal Dooney

- A.C. Farley

- Dan Berger

- Jim Lawson

- Micheal Zulli

- Rick Veitch

- Ken Mitchroney

- Chris Allen

- Don Simpson

- Lesean Thomas

I think it's all a matter of one's own opinion but the ones I like most are:
- Kevin Eastman

-Peter Laird

- Eric Talbot

- Micheal Dooney

- A.C. Farley
And a few of the new guys from tales and of corse Chris Allen from Archie TMNT Adventures.

I like Kevin and Pete. But Kevin's art was always a little better to me than Pete's. I loved Micheal Dooney's style, simple, but effective, and Micheal Zulli's was perhaps the most realistic depiction of what a Mutant Turtle would probably look like in real life. And Lesean Thomas' artwork for Dreamwave's TMNT was FLAWLESS !!! So beautiful and anime-like. Ken Mitroney's run on Archie's TMNT was my favorite because the turtles looked more like they did in the animated series at the time.

I would say that Michael Dooney is the most all-around talented of all of the TMNT artists we've seen over time.

But I love each and every one of them for their own unique take on the characters.

I have 2 favorites actually: Micheal Dooney and Chris Allen.

Like a lot of people here on the forumn, I grew up with the Archie TMNT comic. Ahhh, nostalgia! :)

kevin and peter's for nostalgia, but i love the painted covers dooney and farley do. and all of the archie stuff looked a lot cooler to me when done by farley in the source books.

I HATE Jim Lawson's work though. His Drawings always seemed liked those wiggle vision cartoons like Dr. Katz and Home Movies.

Can't go wrong with E&L's old stuff, but Dooney's my favorite.

Some one you didn't list who I like alot is Dario Brizuela.

And no matter how bad Lawson is these days, when he first got on board with the TMNT he was great.

1. Eastman
2. Laird
3. Dooney

That's the exact reason why I dislike his art too. Just too squiggly. LeSean Thomas has to be fav TMNT artist, because his style his almost the exact opposite of Lawson's. Nice and smoooooth :)

My top 3 are Laird, Dooney and Farley, but I'm also a fan of Berger and Eastman. I like Chris Allan but I associate him with Archie, not the Mirage artists you have listed. I like some of the new Tales' artists too.

Peter Laird and Chris Allan

But I like 'em all :)

I love Dooney's work, as well as Chris Allen (like there was any doubt) and Eastman and Laird's stuff is great too. Berger has turned in some great stuff too.

Yeah, I listed artist other than Mirage;

Ken Mitroney, Chris Allan, and Don Simpson are from Archie. Lesean Thomas is from Dreamwave.

Well, then let me be the first...

1. LAWSON!

my favoite is lawson from the 80's.
his stuff back then was so cool in tmnta and tales vol.1.
he's def my favorite of the tmnta artists.
i love chris allan's work but i hated that he drew splinter with round mouse ears. it just looked so wrong.

early e&l obviously...those early years are great.

i love the OT style that was used on all the old merchandise..

I would love to see an animated Turtle series designed by Thomas.

eastman and laird. hands down.
