Question on Leonardo: Blind Sight TPB

*oldmanwinters* · 12-08-2010, 04:16 PM

I recently picked up the Leonardo: Blind Sight TPB that collects Tales of the TMNT #5 and the 4-part Blind Sight mini-series.

It was the last of the individual turtle mini-series that I hadn't yet read, and I am overjoyed to have been able to experience it in glorious, graphic novel format! The plot development is bizzare and left me confused as to whether the whole story was just one big illusion, but it is a fantastic saga in the Mirage TMNT Universe. I think it is some of Lawson's best Turtle work of the decade in both artistic and storytelling merit. It is light years more engrossing than any of the other three mini-series that followed.

Nevertheless, I have one complaint about the trade collection (one that appears to be common among the Tales Volume 2 TPBs): the omission of the frontispieces!

I do own Tales of the TMNT #5, which included this awesome Dooney piece:

But having never read the original issues of the 4-part mini-series, I would like to know whether frontispieces were included and, if so, what were they about?
