Tales of the TMNT #40

[Roseangelo]

From Murphy's Blog:

This is one of three issues of Tales that I’m currently juggling (38, 40, 41), my last three of those shipping in 2007.

This one is a collaboration with Diego Jourdan, and features a middle-aged Raphael in Christmas Eve Tokyo. Lately it’s either only the very young (pre-teen) or the very old turtles that interest me in terms of storytelling. Not sure why, maybe because of my accelerating age (Dorian Gray-like, it seems of late), or the fact that I’ve finally had a child in middle-age, or both.

Anyway, this is only my second attempt to tell a comic book story without dialogue, the first being twenty or so years ago in The Puma Blues #5 (c. 1987).

This Raph story’s called (excuse the pun), “Silent Knight.”

Ok, this looks to be WAY awesome! And look! Raph has the eye patch!
