1991 Mirage Studios Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #37 - NM

Catalog another notable independent release from the classic Mirage Studios Volume 1 run with this original 1991 issue: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (Vol. 1) #37! Written and illustrated by Rick McCollum and Bill Anderson, this issue presents the atmospheric story "Twilight of the Ring."

Published by Mirage Studios, the wraparound art continues seamlessly onto the back cover, showing Michelangelo, Raphael, and Donatello navigating through the dense, gnarled woods with their weapons drawn, completed by a signature block reading "Rick McCollum • Bill Anderson" in the lower left.
