Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #31

Eastman and Laird's long-running Mirage series takes a striking turn with Book 31 (July 1990), featuring a painted-style cover by Michael Zulli showing the four Turtles moving urgently through a wintry forest, cloaked and armed, their breath almost palpable in the cold woodland air. The earthy, naturalistic palette — bare pines, snow-dusted ground, muted browns and greens — signals a tone far removed from city rooftops, setting the stage for the interior tale "Souls Winter." With Zulli also handling the full story art alongside writers Stephen Murphy and letterer Rob Caswell, this issue promises a thoughtful, atmospheric chapter in the Turtles' ongoing saga.
