Fayme

Fayme burst onto the page in 1990, a Copper Age creation born from the imaginative collaboration of Dean Clarrain, Ryan Brown, Ken Mitchroney, and Buz McKim in Archie's wildly inventive Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Adventures — a series that consistently pushed beyond the cartoon's boundaries into genuinely strange and memorable territory. Sharing adventures with fan-favorite oddballs like Cudley the Cowlick and Stump, as well as Raphael and Michelangelo themselves, Fayme kept some wonderfully eclectic company during a brief but colorful early-'90s run that spanned Mighty Mutanimals and even a special Invasion from Space tie-in. With only a handful of catalogued appearances, Fayme is precisely the kind of deep-cut discovery that makes digging through Archie's TMNT universe so rewarding for collectors who want the full, gloriously weird picture.
