I'll just quote what he said about where the #71-#75 tmnt archie series might have gone, and I hope he doesn't mind that I let you guys in on that much.

As to your question regarding the last few issues of TMNT, I'll tell you

what I know. Steve always had an idea where stories were going, but

didn't always share them with me. If I made a suggestion that he thought

was cool, we'd put it in together. Near the end, the stories had a real

collaborative feel. Having said that, I don't know where the last four

issues were going to go, other than clues provided by the covers. I can

tell you that in issue 71, the gang travels once again to the future after

being summoned by a dying Raphael. He'd been attacked by the present

Shredder, who stole the time-slip technology and used it to go back in

time and prevent the turtles from ever falling into the mutagen. However,

because, Raph pulled them to the future before the timeline became

affected and sent them back after the change, they were unaffected by

the radically different NYC. An NYC now ruled by the Shredder!

Cliffhanger ending.

He also told me he would love to do some more Ninjara based stories on his website, but he would need to contact Steve Murphy (The writer) before he could. I remember someone saying that they had contacted archie comics (darthsmothers I think) and was told they had lost contact with him. I suggested he actually contact mirage about doing a guest comic or something. I know I'd love to see more of his artwork for tmnt.
