Jim Lawson is this? http://www.ninjaturtles.com/comics/archie/11/11.htm. I have always hated these drawings but I like the other in the Archie comics.

gotta be Andres Ponce. his tmnt are badazz!!!

I really can't choose. Chris Allan presents the most "definitive" version of the Turtles for me, but I have major respect for most artists to have worked on the series. I used to dislike Jim Lawson's work (both old and new), but recently I've come to really enjoy it, for example.

One thing: I've never been huge on Dooney's issues. He's techically a skilled artist, but his style is just...kind of generic.

Kevin Eastman and A.C. Farley are my two faves. Followed by Lawson's Early stuff. Dooney and Allen are cool as well. Laird also is up there but I never liked his art as much as the above.

Chris Allan for sure! I am not super-familiar with the Mirage-verse, but I'm such a sucker for his art that I picked up all (4?) of his Tales books just to see new Chris Allan TMNT art. Sold!

You will love August then...

I know someone is going to call me out, but I like all of Lawson's "non-human" characters in terms of art.

Granted I like his Foot and Casey Jones as well, but otherwise its just the Turtles and whatever monsters/aliens they face that he does well.

You have to love the original Eastman and Laird stuff.

But how about Paul Harmon? His stuff is beautiful! I hope they do a collected of his and TJ's stuff.

o yes, i cant wait!!! 61 !!!

My favorite artist of TMNT is Jim Lawson! His art is great and improbably stylish. Such exact proportionality does his drawing ideal. But what I like the most, is how the people, the Turtles and all the environment are harmoniously combined. And all that belongs to one world, the world of Jim Lawson.

Also, I very like Paul Harmon as an artist. His art remind me Volume 1.

Hard to pick a favorite.. I have some stuff by most of the Mirage artists so I call it even..
Speaking of artists, does any one know who drew the art for this silhouette background?

I can not pick an absolute favorite, But Andres Ponce needs to be added to that list.
He is realy coming into his own with the TMNT, and I believe he's only going to keep getting better.
I've always liked how cool all the art was, and how diverse at times.
Michael Zulli, Lawson, Talbot, Dooney,Berger,Farley, and Eastman&Laird are the staples of the TMNT. You can't forget guy like Corbin, Lavinge, Brown, Bissette, Bode,Veitch, Martin,McCollum and Anderson,TMNTA'S Allen, Rick Arthur...They all had kick ass renditions of the TMNT.

And the newer guys, man...They are kicking some butt.
Ponce,Brizuela,Remender,Rice, Pinto,Cohn,Jourdan,Hawthorne,Harmon and White....We've gotten some realy good contributors over the years.
I am happy to say that I have enjoyed them all.
