done work for Marvel on the Worlds Greatest Comic Magazine and back
up stories in Erik Larsen’s Savage Dragon. Along with a couple of

"IDW comes to the rescue by reprinting the original run (in color)
and even allowing for an all new story to be created to give the
series the ending it never saw almost 19 years ago." –Biff Bam
Pop
"A good way to rediscover some of the comic history of the turtles
for new audiences and younger fans." –Comic Bastards
"A dark and violent take on the Turtles, but it's well crafted… If
you're an early Image fan, you'll definitely enjoy
this." –Comic Buzz
