TMNT Magazine Article Index

[Roseangelo]

I have recently undertaken the task of organizing my collection of magazines that feature TMNT articles. Now that I actually have them all organized, I've compiled a list of what they are. Since this list might be of interest to some people, I'm sharing. Eventually I'm gonna HTML all this and put it on a website.

This is not even close to a complete list!! If you can add any magazines to this list, please post all of the relevant information and I'll add it below.
