What are your top 3 favorite renditions of the turtles

[Plasticplayhouse]

who are your top three favorite turtle renditions (NOT including work from Eastman &/or Laird)

my top three favorite renditions are:

Farley
Dooney (current style. i wasnt a big fan of his early comic work)
Ross Campbell (i loved the covers for bad moon rising)

honorable mention for me is...believe it or not...Tom McWeeney (as drawn SPECIFICALLY in issue 34) i have always loved that specific rendition. his later renditions i didnt care for.

Aside from Eastman/Laird, I would say Michael Dooney and Chris Allen draw the best looking versions of the Turtles.

There is just something about the way Dooney and Chris Allen drew them that makes me think, "THAT'S how the ninja turtles are supposed to look!"

I suppose Dan Berger would be a third. I do like Lawson's Turtles too.

So you mean comic only I'm guessing. If that's the case,

1. Ross Campbell, hands down.
2. Rick McCollum
3. Rick Corben

Hm, a lot of R's there, haha.

[Jester]

Mike Dooney
Ken Mitchroney
Chris Allen

[HaNotsri]

Eastman/Laird
AC Farley
Jim Lawson

No particular order

[Venom]

Too many great version for me to choose just 3.

Like most folks I guess if forced to pick just 3 I would go with Dooney, Berger and Farley.

[Matches Malone]

As usual I have to give A.C. Farley his due.

I almost want to credit Jim Lawson as two versions because his style varies so greatly. I love his Return To New York stuff, some of the best turtle art ever, and I also love the more stylized turtles in City At War (and his works following to a lesser extent.)

I love Ross Campbell's and David Peterson's work but hesitate go say for certain since they've only done covers and interior works is much more telling. So in my cheating logic, I let them share a spot! But I guess we'll see Ross' work soon enough!!

Honorable mention goes to Eric Talbot!

[The Master]

AC Farley
Frank Fosco
Michael Dooney

[Uki]

I like the Classics:

Laird
Eastman
Dooney

But it's been awhile since I read much if the old Mirage stuff. I'll get back to this thread after some digging.

thanks, but I also forget that richard corben did us some turtles...he was great, too...but I think I would still take those three for my favourites...

[Powder]

In no order, Frank Fosco, Jim Lawson, & probably Rick Remender.

[oldmanwinters]

1) Dan Berger
2) Eastman & Laird
3) Chris Allan

[Samhain]

Ross Campbell

Andres Ponce

Dan Berger

[Oculus Orbus]

In no particular order:

-Jim Lawson
-Richard Corben
-A. C. Farley

[Slap-Happy]

Great question. I can't really think of just three, but I really dig these artists:

-Richard Corben
-Erik Larsen
-A.C. Farley
-Paul Harmon
-Ross Campbell
-Rick Vietch
and even though we've only seen one peice by him, Tyler Wapole.

Fosco and Dooney are probably somewhere in there too.

[Mayhem]

I've always liked Dooney's work. Maybe that's why I surprised him by asking him to draw Shredder and Splinter as commissions instead at SDCC, he probably gets asked to draw a lot of turtles. First one must have worked, he put it on display before I collected it that show and got similar requests off it as a result

After that, hard to say. It took time for me to accept Lawson's versions because they were somewhat different, somewhat less precise in my mind. But I got used to the style, and I'll certainly not fault that he can draw an action scene. Him doing everything by himself was different to be part of an overall team such as the "Return to NY" storyline, which is probably the first time I recall reading him in the credits.
