Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #28

The striking cover of this February 1990 Mirage issue steps away from ninja action entirely, presenting a haunting close-up portrait of a young woman whose left side blends into vivid green, scale-like features — part human, part something altogether otherworldly. Behind her, a fiery sunset bleeds orange and red across a calm lake, silhouetted treeline stretching along the horizon in a mood that feels more painterly meditation than superhero adventure. Cover artist Michael Dooney's rendered work sets an atmospheric, quietly unsettling tone for "Sons of the Silent Age," a title that suggests the story inside matches this cover's contemplative, eerie beauty.
