Vintage: Ryan Brown's story on "Scratch"

*oldmanwinters* · 04-23-2009, 12:11 AM

I just picked up a 1997 issue of Action Figure News & Toy Review for a buck.

I was surprised to see a very awesome interview with Ryan Brown complete with conceptual art which I've never seen, including the very first drawing of the character who would later become Scratch, who due to his rarity once went for over $300 on the collector's market (according to the magazine)!

I couldn't help but think the owl mutant and the "cat burglar" have an uncanny resemblance to the Uncanny Trio of Archie's TMNT Adventures #27, lending further credence to the idea that Scratch had his roots in the evil cat mutant of that issue.

Uncanny Trio to get their revenge?

The interview was apparently two parts, and the issue only has part 1.

In case this is old news, please feel free to lock or merge this thread and brand me with the "noob" label.
