lol, it's so true. Every week I was surprised to see how many Christians (with vague dispensationalist interpretations of Revelation) thought Murphy was trying to make every comic about the Antichrist or brainwash all kids into practicing some kinda transcendental meditation. I may have not even been a teenager, but I thought those complaints were stupid even back then.
I guess one thing never changes about Mirage creative talents: their ability to offend people of all ages through their letter columns. To be fair, though, I remember the responses in Archie being far more courteous than some of the retorts we saw in TMNT Volume 4 and, to a lesser extent, Tales volume 2.
And, yes, it was a fairly challenging comic as a kid considering all the heavy themes that were presented. I didn't and don't always agree with all the stuff in the TMNT comics, but I always appreciated the effort and the fact that guys like Murphy cared about more than just making a quick buck.
