Hmm... I wonder if the issue of Gen13 guest-starring the Turtles ever made it to Japan. I know a good number of the early Gen13 issues/stories were released over there, but the issue the Turtles were in was part of a special three-issue story arc (labeled issues #13A-13B, humorously enough) that featured cameos by numerous comics characters (including the usual roster of characters from Image and the creator-owned properties from Dark Horse's now-defunct Legend sub-label, and even the Archie gang and Wolverine), so they have ran into rights issues. Though, from what I understand, at Image, when a character guest-stars in another creator's book, they're usually free to reprint it without need to ask permission from the guest character's owner(s) (the whole controversies over Neil Gaiman and Dave Sim's guest-written issues of Spawn aside). I found if that unspoken rule applies to foreign reprints?

That was the thing that always mystified me about the turn the franchise took when Eastman and Laird licensed the cartoon and the parallel comic book published by the same outfit that gave us Archie. The turtles' original origin story? The whole thing hinges on a for-Christ's-sake rape-murder!!!! |
