Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles1989 Topps Series 1 The 1989 Series 1 trading cards are based on the pilot episodes of the 1987 cartoon franchise. Created by Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird. The series aired as part of CBS’s Saturday Morning Lineup before moving to the after-school schedule in syndication. Here are some fun facts about the cartoon seriesIn the original comics, all four turtles had red bandanas. For the TV show, TMNT creator Peter Laird decided to give each Turtle a different color to make it easier to tell them apart: Leonardo has a blue bandana, Raphael a red bandana, Donatello a purple bandana and Michelangelo an orange bandana. This color scheme became so popular it eventually became a staple of the TMNT saga.Townsend Coleman said the catch phrase “Cowabunga” was not scripted. He just blurted it out in an ad-lib and the studio liked it so much is became Michealangelo’s catch phrase.When developing this show, it was decided to make April O’Neil a news reporter instead of a lab assistant and part-time antique dealer. Writer David Wise made this change so to give the turtles a source to find out information (since the show was made before the world wide web).

Endeavor 14 April 2021 Recommended for mature readers There was a bit of a gap from Endeavor #13 to #14. Like 43 years. During that hiatus, I kept occupied by completing my education, getting a job, and generally living life. 1977 was my last year at Oregon State, and the start of graduate school in Michigan. I could plainly see that 1977 would be a very busy year, and I wasn’t sure I could keep Endeavor up in 1978. So I published three issues in 1977, and I was right — I found too many other horizons. It took a couple years to sink in, but I was done with Endeavor. I nonetheless accumulated an impressive stash of fan zine art and stories in 1978-80. It took Covid to get me focused on reviving the zine, and giving the art and stories their due and long delayed publication. It turned out I was not the only one who had old unpublished art. Several contributors offered works from the 70s and 80s that never reached publication. And more artists and writers provided new material for this issue. Here’s the line-up. Front Cover – Winston Jackson Back Cover – Michael Kucharski and Kurt Erichsen Comics Stories (Super)Bear with Me – Jean-Paul Jennequin Inverted Man – Rich Morrissey, script – Neil Riehle, art Dragonslaver – Kurt Erichsen Nick O’ Time – Dale Nelson Text Stories Trail’s End – Dale Nelson, story – Larry Johnson, art Death Quest of The Wizard Lizard – David McDonnell, story – Guido Rosas, art Set My Penguins Free! – Eringodes Plostherapaba, story — Lance “Doc” Boucher and Kurt Erichsen, art This issue also marks a technological turning point. Printed by Amazon KDP, Endeavor now appears in very professional format thanks to 21st century print-on-demand. The first thirteen issues of Endeavor used nearly every 20th means of reproduction — ditto, mimeo (in three colors), thermofax, electrostencil, offset, diazo. What a difference! I have to admit I don’t miss doing the collating and stapling. Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE
