Well, Don's frontispieces always make it seem like Leo and Mike die at a very old age, so I doubt they were murdered or anything. But I'm pretty sure Raph dies much earlier than the rest because he appears much younger than the other turtles in Don's frontispieces for the recently released TPB of Tales Vol. 1. It's still possible that he dies of cancer or some other natural cause, but I'm willing to bet he gets murdered if he does die earlier than the rest.

Herge had a clause that when he died they were not allowed to draw any more Tintin comics.....

Wasn't there an old Raph in a recent Tales issue?

Yup, Tales #40. Don't know the title, but there's an hourglass on the page.

EDIT: Just checked the comic and the site. There IS no title. Hmm...

I'm pretty sure that Tales #40 (By Murph and Jourdan) was entitled "Silent Night".

I thought it was "Silent Knight" but yeah something along those lines. Shelf, I meant the franchise. It will be interesting to see what happens though..

Yeah, I'd forgotten about that. I guess it's just the way they draw him. He never looks as old and wrinkly as the other turtles in those "glimpse of the future" issues, so I just assumed he didn't live as long. Oh well, hopefully it will all be cleared up eventually.

Yeah the Tales issue #40 took place Christmas Day, 2060, so I'd say Raph lives to a moderately old age

Well, it appears that Kevin finally gave up the last bit of control he ever had over the turtles. According to ninjaturtles.com, Peter finally bought him out completely. The note on the site seems cheery enough, but I hope that's not covering up any hard feelings. I hate it when creators have disputes.

Yeah, I read this afternoon. So much for that back-up plan...

Well, it kinda is.
