Ha'ntaan

Born from the Archie Comics run of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Adventures, Ha'ntaan made their debut in issue #11 (1990), brought to life by writer Dean Clarrain and artist Jim Lawson during a creative era when that series was pushing the TMNT universe in bold, unexpected directions. With only three catalogued appearances, Ha'ntaan is a rare and elusive figure from the early 1990s — the kind of deep-cut character that true fans of the Archie run treasure precisely because of their scarcity. Sharing pages with Raphael, Leonardo, Michelangelo, Donatello, and Splinter is no small thing, and for collectors who love the stranger corners of the Copper/Modern Age, Ha'ntaan is exactly the sort of discovery that makes digging through back issues so rewarding.
