“The Shell of the Dragon”

From Mirage's 1989 run of Eastman and Laird's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, issue #18 brings "The Shell of the Dragon" — and the cover by Mark Bodé (pencils) and Kevin Eastman (inks) sets the stage with a burst of fiery energy. All four Turtles surge forward alongside a fierce young warrior, weapons raised, while a massive, looming dragon presides ominously over the chaos in the background. It's a dynamic, kinetic image that captures the raw, gritty spirit the Mirage series was known for in 1989.
