1991 Mirage Studios Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #41 - NM

Continue expanding your indie Mirage Studios collection with this original 1991 release: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (Vol. 1) #41! Written and illustrated by indie creator Matt Howarth, this standalone issue delivers the surreal, music-and-dream-infused storyline "Turtle Dreams." The vibrant, full-bleed wraparound cover art by Matt Howarth depicts all four Ninja Turtles sleeping on colorful pillows around a central television set labeled "TURTLE DREAMS," framed by bright orange background hues, red title lettering, and a lower-right signature ("© HOWARTH").

Published by Mirage Studios ($2.00 U.S.A. / $2.75 CANADA cover price), the wraparound artwork continues seamlessly onto the back cover, illustrating a wild, surreal dreamscape with a floating, top-hatted Splinter levitating above a gun-wielding character in a red shirt amidst scattered comic books (TMNT, AKIRA). An essential entry for TMNT Volume 1 completionists, Matt Howarth collectors, and late-copper age independent comic archivists!
